[Ed. note: Welcome to the first in what I hope will be a long-running opinion column by the insightful, and delightfully spicy, Pepper.]
I have been reading a lot of things about Eliot Spitzer lately, a man for whom I voted back in Aught Six, and I think about politics and prostitution making strange bedfellows, but it’s really not that strange, nor that new. JFK, LBJ, Clinton, GHWB, hell, even Arnold fondled women.
I just wonder: in this era when nothing is sacred, and no one expects public figures to have any right to privacy because Perez Hilton is digging in their trash, how did he not figure out he’d be caught? It can’t just be simple hubris, here’s a man who spent his career tracking similar criminals, so he knew it could be, and has been, done.
So what the hell?
