Talk about irony and shock, HOLY CRAP!!!!!Elliot Spitzer, former NY state Attorney General and now governor has confessed to and publically apologized for his involvement in a prostitution ring!!!! ???????
I'm not taking this particularly well right now, especially in light of the fact that Elliot had numerous successes particularly as Attorney General in going after corrupt corporations for unlawful practices (as a musician, I especially applauded his going after several major labels for price fixing, payola and withholding royalties), and now, irony of ironies, he turned to the dark side himself. I guess it's the nature of politics, even the most noble and honorable ones get lured into places they just shouldn't even consider going. It ain't the first time a public figure of this stature has taken a fall over something inexcusably stupid, but man, this one hurts!
Elliot, though I am more than a little furious at you and very saddened by these revelations, I hope that you will get the help you need and regain your self-respect and get back to being what I and others have admired you for, a crusader for the interests of the average person.
