Disgraced
former New York governor Eliot Spitzer appeared on Morning Joe today and he
cried. Or maybe he didn’t......Maybe Spitzer is genuinely remorseful about the
pain he caused. Maybe Spitzer is only sorry he got caught. That’s a topic for
him, his family and his therapist. Me? I couldn’t care less either way. We can
never bore into a man’s soul, nor should we want to. New Yorkers, of course,
are also free to forgive Spitzer for cheating on his wife with a prostitute and
wish him a peaceful life (hopefully, in obscurity.) But absolution doesn’t mean
they should reward someone who acted so irresponsibly and corruptly with more
power.
Spitzer is
vying to be the next New York City comptroller because apparently even a little
authority over other people is better than nothing. In addition to being just a
disagreeable human being.....Spitzer’s abuses should have gotten him impeached long
before he was known as Client #9. He was the worst kind
of political bully. A reckless Attorney
General. He was a disaster of a governor (his approval rating hovered around 30
percent before the scandal) whose career was bankrolled by his
multi-millionaire father (and there too, there were questions about misconduct)........Spitzer didn’t only cheat on his wife, he broke the
law as it stood....To Read More......
