Eliot Spitzer's kink

Well, I can't help pointing out the lighter side Eliot Spitzer's plight. He's proven to us once again that it is the moralists who are most likely to keep the skeletons in their closets. He is the one who signed NY State law against sex tourism. I understand that some people will readily object that the comparison does not hold because no one would ever think of Washington DC as a place for a tourist. But then again, the legacy of Lincoln not only inspires the tradition of public service but also attracts the tourists to his monument. Of course, a good deal of public servants turn out to be more inspired by the Washington memorial, but this really is beating a dead horse. I think it is important to keep sight on one very important aspect of Spitzer's ordeal. It is very clear that he, in fact, never did have sex with that woman -- Monica Lewinsky. Hillary Clinton has yet to make it as clear that she (as fellow New York Democrat) has never had sex with Monica Lewinsky. And yet Hillary is still seeking a public office... a national one at that... and mine, oh, mine... in Washington DC.
