This is an interesting take on Eliot the Jerk and corporate types that are gleefully cheering his disastrous fall from grace.
"His indiscretion is regrettable if only for the tawdry procurement details that will now inescapably dominate the news for the next few days. But it's to be regretted even more for the comfort it has given to Spitzer's enemies. "
"...allegations that Spitzer visited prostitutes don't make Grasso's $188 million golden handshake smell any better."
"Finally, they don't change the fact that Spitzer made many of his enemies by cleaning up messes that were created under the noses of lax federal regulators."
"There's no sense weaving a conspiracy theory out of a few thin threads. But part of me badly wishes to know whether the initial IRS interest in Spitzer was really routine and not a byproduct of his political role."
"Are bank transfers of a few thousands of dollars by a multimillionaire really enough to excite the routine suspicion of the IRS?"
"But why worry about fuselage cracks when we can titillate ourselves at Spitzer's expense?"
Fascinating.
