Everyone’s asking the same question: “Why did Eliot Spitzer nail a hooker?”
We point to Clinton and Lewinsky, Jim McGreevy and some dude, Larry Craig and the toilet people, and say “Why do they do it? Why do these male politicians keep banging people other than their wives? Surely they would’ve learned from others’ mistakes, right?”
I agree. Who would’ve ever guessed that a bunch of power-hungry dudes accustomed to figuratively getting blown by people they barely know would actually appreciate getting literally blown by people they barely know?
It takes special men to gain power in the highest levels of government. If you’re surprised that these same men look for any hole to screw, you’re a far greater optimist than I.
