My Thoughts On The Eliot Spitzer Prostitution Scandal

I basically have three thoughts about the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal:

1. I am disappointed. Disappointed, because I thought he was one of the good guys going after the bad guys. In the political field this is virtually a non-existent species.
2. That because of this we will throw the baby out with the bath water. Let’s not forget that rooting out corruption, busting white-collar criminals and tackling organized crime still need to be done. This is why Spitzer was elected as governor of New York. The Today Show this morning did not really focus on the good things he has done. This reminds me of Bill and Monica all over again. Spitzer should go, but let’s not replace him with someone worse, like we did with Bill Clinton.
3. It seems that Spitzer has broken some laws and for this he should suffer the consequences for his actions. George W. Bush and many in his administration have broken some laws also. When will they suffer the consequences for their actions?
