New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will resign, according to news reports.
That is good.
Spitzer has made a career of being a law-and-order politician and prosecutor, sending people to prison, some for the very thing he has done.
According to a preliminary police investigation, Spitzer spent as much as $80,000 on prostitutes.
No one is perfect, of course, but Spitzer was especially tenacious as a prosecutor, and Wall Street traders referred to him as a “sanctimonious bully.”
We accept that our leaders aren’t always saints, but the last thing we need in government are sanctimonious bullies.
