I don't think I have ever been more shocked than I was to hear today that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer--the former crusading attorney general who brought insurance giants Marsh and AIG to their knees, and toppled titans such as Maurice Greenberg--had been linked as a client to a prostitution ring. Where does the sullied white knight go from here?
Who would have guessed that a politician who has devoted his life to cleaning up corruption in so many industries--insurance prominent among them--would leave himself so vulnerable?
I am no judge of morality, but the problem here is that Gov. Spitzer always comes across so holier than thou, so self-righteous and so contemptuous of anyone who steps out of line legally, I don't think he has any choice but to resign.
