Eliot Spitzer Unzipped

I'm all for legalizing prostitution, as I think it would benefit the prostitutes, the neighborhoods, and the customers; but until that happens, perhaps those charged with enforcing the prostitution laws should avoid using the banned services....eh, Eliot?

This is just the latest in a long line of scandals that has taken a man who was elected by overwhelming margins, to popularity numbers rivaling El Jefe himself.

Update:

Spitzer just held a press conference in which he admitted to doing something that hurt his family, but wouldn't say whether or not he would resign. While I don't think he necessarily should resign, this significantly tarnishes his image as a reformer and a person who is above political corruption. And while he may say this is a personal matter, using a high-end prostitution ring, while your previous job was shutting down said rings, and your current job is to enforce laws against such rings, is an example of corruption.

Update II:

I sort of have to wonder how this will play out in the Presidential contest. After all, Spitzer was Hillary's main supporter in New York, her adopted state. I have a feeling she is going to put out a statement, or give one, which empathizes with Spitzer's wife, says she's been through this too...play up the whole solidarity angle and all that.
