Spitzer and excessive compensation

So which Eliot Spitzer are we supposed to listen to: the Spitzer who brought suit against former New York Stock Exchange Chairman Richard Grasso for accepting too high a salary in a not-for-profit enterprise, or the Spitzer who went to court to defend private lawyers' right to charge billions for their representation of the states in the tobacco deal?
