Tuesday Morning

Many websites this A.M. are featuring articles about "the controversy about Eliot Spitzer." What exactly is the controversy here? He got caught frequenting an expensive prostitute. He admitted it and apologized. He's dickering now for the best deal he can make to trade his resignation for a plea bargain on whatever crimes he might be charged with. When he gets it, which will probably be any day now, he'll quit and disappear from public life, probably forever but certainly for a long time.

The only "controversy" I see is over what percentage of his fall is due to personal immorality and what percentage is sheer stupidity. Otherwise, I think everyone's pretty much on the same page with this one.
