Stupid Spitzer
He has betrayed the public trust. He has violated the one rule we expect of every public official: that he or she who makes or enforces the law must also obey it.

Eliot Spitzer, who a year ago had a shot at national office, is today a laughingstock because of his reckless involvement in... what? Let's just say this right out: in nothing.

The Spitzer switcheroo -- two fisted crime-fighting prosecutor to alleged Mann Act violator -- is not the most dramatic nor ironic of 180s among New York prosecutors-turned-pols.

Just once, as the husband takes his place at the confessional microphone, I'd like to see a wronged wife walk onstage with him -- and just keep on walking, suitcase in hand, exit stage right.

Women are either less willing to cheat on their spouse, abuse young interns and cross the double-yellow line of sexual indiscretion, or we're much better at hiding it.

Billions of dollars are unaccounted for in Iraq. Might some government sleuth deployed on the Catch-Eliot- Spitzer-With-His-Pants-Down detail be put to more profitable use figuring out exactly what happened to that bundle?

This delicious piece of trash reminds everybody of the yuck factor that haunts the Clinton Restoration movement. It's subliminal, but that could make it even better.

This is American politics and just about any guy can survive anything if Pres. Clinton can survive an impeachment, especially if his wife is standing beside him during his 'mea culpa.'
Chris Kelly | Posted 03.10.2008 | Politics
I'm not being judgmental about Spitzer's home life. And by "home life" I mean, "sex with prostitutes." I'm being judgmental about whether NY State deserves a governor with a rudimentary understanding of the law.

The image of an idealistic Democratic leader running on change and cleaning up after the incumbent is something the floundering GOP will eat up like their favorite dessert then regurgitate right into attack ads. Don't buy it.

Spitzer is a superdelegate, and a supporter of Hillary Clinton. What will happen to his vote? How will Clinton react? Will she support him as she supported her own husband? Also, so much for the first Jewish president.
