Your lack of comprehension is amazing. I predict Spitzer will stay on and beat this.

Blame It on the Primal Brain of Homo Politicus By David Segal Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, March 13, 2008; Page C01 What was he thinking? What exactly was running through the expensively educated, politically astute mind of Eliot Spitzer when he allegedly hired a prostitute for a tryst in a Washington hotel? In the days since the Emperors Club became the most notorious escort service on the planet, and in the hours since Spitzer resigned, the question has been asked a thousand different ways: Is he nuts? If not nuts, some kind of sexaholic? If not a sexaholic, what? If past sex scandals are any indicator, here's what we can safely predict: Spitzer won't say. There is plenty of ritual to the oopsy-daisy demise of a political career, but the richest psychological questions raised by public officials who philander are seldom broached in the candid interview on "Good Morning America" or in a confessional chapter in the inevitable autobiography. Most notably, in this case: How does the Crusading Governor coexist with Client 9? For now we'll make do with some armchair psychiatry, courtesy of sex therapists and evolutionary psychologists. We'll learn, among other things, that the personality traits of cheaters and the personality traits of politicians have a whole lot in common.
