Oops -- I had that wrong.  He went from Manhattan DA back to legal 
practice and then to NY State AG and from there to Governor.  So he did 
have some money-making opportunities in his law practice.

Apparently, he reported $1.9 million to the IRS in 2006.  That is a lot of 
money, of course, but not enough to move him into billionaire status ever. 
When he inherits his dad's money, he'll have more, but I doubt he'll be a 
billionaire even then.

Back to the original point:  I can see now that he probably has a lot more 
money than I knew about, so I can believe that he paid for his own 
hookers, which is definitely a good thing given what we no know.

So let's just say that I stand corrected.

Mike
