KIDS MEET GOV. CLOWN

Like the late Rodney Dangerfield, Gov. Spitzer can’t get no respect.

Spitzer, who was at an Albany child-care center yesterday to read to preschoolers, told the kids they should call him “Eliot.”

When one kid said no, the governor asked what he wanted to call him.

“I want to call you ‘clown,'” the small-fry said, before three of his classmates chimed in agreement.
