Foes push for Spitzer's resignation over link to prostitution ring - CNN.com
The
most important reasons is that he broke the law. He is the head of the
state, so it means more than some state councilman doing the same.
Also, he ran for Governor on a ticket of integrity and a vow to clean
things up. Not to add the fact that he was ATTORNEY GENERAL, the top
cop in the state. And its not a case of a trial or conviction because,
let's face it, he confessed yesterday. I know looking at Senator Craig
who was convicted of public indecency, Senator Vitter who admitting to
being involved in a prostitution scandal, and Mayor Kilpatrick of
Detroit who is likely to be indicted for perjury, the trend is to just
admit you made a mistake and stay put. However, Spitzer is a big deal
and the Republicans have been so hard hit with sex or corruption
related scandals, they will not let this get swept under the rug. I
feel sorry for his wife and his three teenaged daughters who will have
to deal with this at school. People always make such bad choices
without concern for the fact that they won't be the only ones paying
the consequences if they get caught.
The NYTimes of course went to town on the story and did a few great ones about his promise and fall from grace.
