Like many liberals my first response to New York Governor and liberal lefty champion's admission to involvement with a prostitute was simple:
How could you?
People all make mistakes, obviously. This was no mistake.
Spitzer's current position is of the preposterous, bullshit, moronic situations that makes you throw your hands up. His admission ruins all he's stood for. It makes the attacks against mobsters and corruptions sidenotes. A man who stood for ethics, reform and doing what's right did wrong.
And he not only did wrong, but he did wrong flagrantly.
He didn't fall in love with another person. He didn't cheat just once. He didn't admit anything before he was caught.
Eliot Spitzer paid women to have sex with him, repeatedly, it seems. He knew it was against the law. There's no making that right, just a mistake, or even acceptable.
It's utter bullshit. And it's sad. Not for Eliot Spitzer. But for the rest of us.

Ugh, just when you thought the Republicans had the market cornered on sex scandals...
Not just that, but he engaged in just the kind of financial shenanigans to cover it up that he had busted so many other people for.
It would actually have been better if he'd just picked up a girl on the street.
