Politics Buzz Well, that didn’t take long: Hustler has turned the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal into its latest porno flick. The YouTube trailer begins with Spitzer’s stand-in (30-year porn veteran Mike Horner) telling a call girl, “I have to leave for Washington on official business in an hour, so we’re going to have to make this a quickie.” It just gets better from there. The DVD hits shelves next month, and seems destined to be come an instant cult classic. The trailer is actually safe for work, but the box cover definitely is not.
