The ex-governor sure is drawing a big crowd to his talk, titled "From Ayn Rand to Ken Feinberg – How Quickly the Paradigm Shifts. What Should Be the Rationale for Government Participation in the Market?" The Boston Globe reports that there are no more tickets to the free event.

Kristin Davis, the madam who "supplied" Spitzer with high-end hookers, wrote a letter to the campus' ethics center, lamenting not being able to leave New York (because of her probation restrictions) to make the talk. "I am greatly intrigued as to what Mr. Spitzer could contribute to an ethical discussion when as Chief Executive Law Enforcement Officer of NY he broke numerous laws for which he has yet to be punished," she wrote.

She also included a few questions she'd like asked of the former NY politician, including:

"3. Is it ethical for you to tip off your favorite escort service days before a bust so that they may disappear?" Yikes.
