It’s being reported that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer may resign tonight.
Earlier today the New York Times revealed that he was a client of a recently-busted prostitution ring.
Ironically, Gov. Spitzer prosecuted at least two prostitution rings earlier in his career, and sent people to jail for it.
Now, I’m no fan of Spitzer’s policies or his hardball tactics. It would be good for New York if he were to step down. But if he’s going to resign, it should be over something substantive.
Victimless crimes aren’t really crimes, if you think about it. Prostitution should be legal, if disreputable. This matter should be between Gov. Spitzer and his wife and family.
Inertia Wins!
