Dr. Sowell nailed this, as usual.

I hope the AG pounds the Mann Act up Spitzer's ass with a sharp stick.

When you start thinking of yourself as a little tin god, able to throw your weight around to bully people into silence, it is a sign of a sense of being exempt from the laws and social rules that apply to other people.In other words, a Democrat.

In reality, character matters enormously, more so than most things that can be seen, measured or documented.That's what I said in 1992, in contrast to the stated position of one presidential candidate.

Another excellent article by Thomas Sowell. I only wish he was the Republican candidate for President this year!

What is almost as scary as having someone like Eliot Spitzer holding power is having so many pundits talking as if this is just a "personal" flaw in Governor Spitzer that should not disqualify him for public office. Spitzer himself spoke of his "personal" failing as if it had nothing to do with his being governor of New York.
Excellent observation. Spitzer has been trying to separate his actions with the prostitute ring from his thuggish behavior as governor and prosecutor, when the latter quite probably made the former entirely predictable. Or at minimum, heavily influenced it.

What that amounts to, ultimately, is that character doesn't matter. In reality, character matters enormously, more so than most things that can be seen, measured or documented.I've never understood people who dismiss a politician's infidelity as being irrelevant. If his own wife can't trust him how can we?
To: jazusamo
WOW! What a close!
Worth saying again:
Obama chose to be part of that church for 20 years. He was not born into it. His “personal” character matters, just as Eliot Spitzer’s “personal” character matters — and just as Hillary Clinton’s character would matter if she had any.

He TOTALLY nailed it. And states very truthfully and frankly, why I would not support many of the GOP anointed “conservatives”. Character matters! If you are untrustworthy in your personal life, I will not trust you to be trustworthy when it comes to political life or my country!

Spitzer was never a moral hero. He was an unscrupulous prosecutor who threw his power around to ruin people, even when he didn’t have any case with which to convict them of anything.
Because he was using his overbearing power against businesses, the anti-business left idolized him...
What Eliot Spitzer did was not out of character. It was completely in character for someone with the hubris that comes with the ability to misuse his power to make or break innocent people.
