A Man Bites Dog Story

Well, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is in a bit of a bind. I am always amazed that the coverage of situations involving married politicians making use of prositutes always focuses on the damage done to the career of the politician and what the political fallout might be. This guy cheated on his wife! He made a significant vow to her and he broke it. That is the story. Eliot Spitzer cannot be trusted because he broke that vow, not because he besmirched the office of the Democratic party.

Governor Spitzer's actions have brought a fresh perspective to political operations. As a politician, he paid a prostitute to perform services. Unfortunately, the inverse is how politics usually works.
