There's also the 'stupidity angle'
Dan has three good reasons why Spitzer needed to resign -- i.e., the hypocrisy, money and jerk angles. I'd add the 'stupidity angle.' Spitzer's conduct was stunningly stupid for a public figure who built a reputation as a do-gooder reformer and who showed no mercy toward others who crossed the line -- and then he crossed the line. It's still hard to believe he thought he could get away with the Mayflower hooker romps. ... BTW: No mentions of a possible plea deal. They had talks. But no details yet.
Update -- David sums it up: 'Staggering. Just staggering.'
