Spitzer, How Could You?

For those of us who are proud New York Staters, the expression on Mrs. Silda Spitzer’s face at today’s press conference said it all. Does anything cross a man’s mind before he acts in a way that not only degrades himself but also his marriage and children?

Our sadness is palpable. I’m no puritan, but to betray a bond – to a spouse, a child, an electorate – is, in a word, mean.
