Spitzer Saga Makes Things Clear
Reportedly, Eliot Spitzer will resign this morning; he has an 11:30 press conference scheduled. If true, we have now clearly delineated where the boundaries lie.
If you are a zealous, sanctimonious prosecutor turned New York politician, and you commit...
A) ...no adultery (Bill Weld): you fail to get elected.
B) ...discreet, private adultery (Eliot Spitzer): you get elected, but must resign as soon as the indiscretion is revealed.
C) ...open, public adultery (Rudy Giuliani): congratulations! You get to serve two full terms!
