For my money, Eliot Spitzer (Governor of New York) was the most promising “young” politician in politics (sorry, Obama) until he effectively ended his political career today when he was caught cavorting with prostitutes in Washington — and he was paying a woman five thousand dollars for sex!

Is his career over? I think so, but if it isn’t over as in “resignation from the Governor’s Mansion” then it is over as a steady ascendancy. Poor Eliot Spitzer was busted by investigators using methods not unlike those used by him as Attorney General investigating fraud, and now he might be going to jail all because he was too foolish to understand that politicians, rockstars and athletes do not have to pay for sex. Where a good-looking man with a lot of power would get the idea to visit a whorehouse and bring them out to Washington is beyond me.
