According to Henican, Stone has been "shopping anti-Spitzer stories for months" and "warning darkly about some 'really ugly' stuff to come."

Not that anyone deserves more credit than Spitzer for engineering the destruction of his promising political career, but it's not terribly hard to believe that Stone, a seasoned political hit man, was more than a spectator. He got his start working for Richard Nixon's reelection campaign—and recently got a portrait of the disgraced president tattooed on his back. (Really.) He went on to work for the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, where he was reportedly linked to the infamous Willie Horton ad that some credit with costing Michael Dukakis the election. More recently, Stone served as a consultant to the New York State Senate Republican Campaign Committee—that is, until he was accused of leaving a threatening phone message for Eliot Spitzer's elderly father and abruptly resigned. Described by the Weekly Standard's Matt Labash as a "professional lord of mischief," Stone is not one for subtlety. Earlier this year, he launched an anti-Hillary Clinton 527, Citizens United Not Timid, whose tasteless acronym really says all you need to know about Stone's brand of below-the-belt politics.

It's unclear what role, if any, Stone played in ensuring Spitzer got Spitzered, but he has warned Newsday's Henican, ominously, that his "work isn't done there."

"Everything's about to change," he told the columnist. "Just watch."
