Eliot Spitzer should resign as soon as possible — assuming he really is guilty of soliciting prostitution (as buyer, not seller — at least, in this case). Hypocrisy is no crime — thank gawd — but this elevates it to near-criminal levels. Moreover, Dems and liberals have nothing to prove to conservative scolds, but we all have a right to expect public servants to refrain from gross crime.
That said, when the magician makes a loud noise and moves one hand, I wonder what the other hand is doing. Why do we calmly accept all this evidence without asking how it became public and why now? We know that Karl Rove abused power to seek prosecution of prominent Democrats — is this related? How much of this evidence comes from a legitimate investigation as opposed to BushCo’s now routine fishing expeditions?
This is the perfect story to distract a gape-mouthed public seeking titillation. (“Haw, he said ‘TITillation!'”) What are we being distracted from? peace, mjh
