What makes me most upset about this Gov. Spitzer "scandal" is not that it will hurt the Democrats chance of winning the election, and not that it is a thorn in New York's side, and not that it's the end of his political career, and not that he might be impeached or be forced to resign, and not that he'll be getting what he deserves (as some think)...
Instead, I'm most upset by the fact that we're all looking at it from a political point of view - instead of the tragic human side of the story: that he has betrayed his wife, that he is sending an extremely poor message to his three daughters, that he should feel ashamed for abusing his power, that he should ask forgiveness of his family - not the political world.
Why is it that so many in positions of authority, be it political or religious or otherwise, engage in sex scandals while portraying an image that they're not doing anything wrong?! It turns my stomach.
