Gov. Spitzer’s Moral and Marital Infidelity.

There will, and should, be little sympathy for Gov. Spitzer for being engaged in a high priced extra-marital affair with expensive call girls. But one could not help but feel sorry for Mrs. Spitzer on Monday as she stood by her husband while he confessed his infidelities to the world. There was not even the cold comfort that her philandering spouse had violated their marriage vows for love.

Gov. Spitzer will resign. He has made too many enemies during his political tenure with his holier-than-thou and take-no-prisoners attitude. Right now, the sounds of knives being sharped in Albany must be deafening.

I’ve written before about how we really want lying, cheating bastards as our leaders.  This is still true.  And since we want lying cheating bastards, we shouldn’t be surprised when they lie, cheat and act like bastards.  But as OUR bastards we have a reasonable expectation that they will restrict their lying, cheating and bastardizing to our benefit.  Or at least be damn discreet when they’re not.

I hope Mrs. Spitzer gets the first cut.
