Hypocrisy is Bipartisan

   Though I long for a return to bipartisanship (actually multi-partisanship would be ideal) in this country, this I didn't need to see. Following in a long line of moral hypocrites, most recently represented by Republicans (see Rep. Mark Foley, Sen. Larry Craig), Client9..errr..New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is under investigation for a link to a prostitution ring. So much for cracking down on the prostitution trade - it is kind of hard to when you're a customer!

   I personally don't understand the appeal of prostitutes but what I REALLY don't understand is how these prominent public figures actually think they will not eventually get ratted out by someone when they're involved in these unsavory activities.

   There had been a lot of speculation in recent years that the former New York state attorney general, an up-and-comer in the national Democratic party ranks, might eventually be a compelling presidential candidate. I wonder now where he'll turn - maybe a run for office in Nevada?
