Anna Cordasco

A curious reader wondered whether Eliot Spitzer might be using leftover campaign cash, as opposed to his personal money, to pay for his new spokeswoman and private security detail. (As of the last filing, Spitzer had $2.9 million in campaign funds at his disposal, and the rules governing what he can do with that money are a "gray area".)

The answer, according to spokeswoman Anna Cordasco, is no. Spitzer is paying for both, she said, "out of his own pocket."

Buried way down in the New York Post story about a madam who is saying that she knows Eliot Spitzer paid to watch couples have sex is a less tawdry piece of news: It looks like Spitzer has hired a new spokeswoman.

"Anna Cordasco, a spokeswoman for Spitzer, said, 'These are completely outrageous fabrications.'

Cordasco is a managing director at Sard Verbinnen & Co., a firm that handles “strategic corporate, financial and crisis communications.”

She's also the spokeswoman Nancy Grace hired after a guest on her CNN show committed suicide.
