It is dizzying to watch the fall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer today in a prostitution scandal. The man was the Eliot Ness of his generation, the man who cleaned up Wall Street--well, today he was the fallen man. Looking back at the profiles of the past, such as this one in Slate, shows how high up he once was held.

There's has to be a separation between personal life and political life. I'm not taking sides but I do not like the way the the press has handled this whole issue. If Spitzer was an ordinary person this wouldn't have made the press. We have much more urgent problems on our hands such as the state of our economy and the war in Iraq (that we had alledgedly won 5 years ago as proclaimed by George W Bush) than to worry about a governor who went and paid for sex. We are wasting trillions of dollars there in Iraq and we are wasting our time talking about Spitzer spending less than 5k for a hooker. I watched CNBC today and they should be ashame of themselves for making such a sensation out of this. Shame on you CNBC!!!
He was not an ordinary person........... and he is not above the law that he has enpowered. I say make him pay all the money he spent for his pleasures and then proscute him to the fullest.
