Just once I'd hope the same standards that apply to us would apply to those who hold (or held) positions of power in our hallowed halls of government.
Shame is fleeting in modern America, so it was probably inevitable that Eliot Spitzer would seek to return as an arbiter of everyone else's moral behavior.
Little more than a week has passed since federal prosecutors declined to bring charges against Mr. Spitzer for soliciting prostitutes while Governor and before that while the chief law enforcement officer (Attorney General) of New York. The U.S. Attorney thus exercised more prosecutorial restraint than Mr. Spitzer ever showed to his targets as he sought to build his political career.
Spared a criminal charge, Mr. Spitzer is now re-emerging to offer advice on how to reregulate Wall Street and to assert that he was right all along about everything (save the call girls).
This man should not be allowed anywhere near power, but because he is a Democrat whose only real crime was screwing around on his wife while in office, he'll receive a pass and who knows, may one day be the next governor of The Empire State.
That IS the way things works, right?
