All I have to say about Eliot Spitzer

I have very little to say about the soon-to-be-former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. Most of what I do have to say is obvious, and I’m sure that anyone who’s read this blog before or has glanced over anything on the sidebars knows the gist of my position — he committed crimes and should resign. I applaud the Legislature for moving on impeachment, and I’m glad that Gov. Spitzer spared the state that ordeal.

However, I listened to his press conference this morning at which he announced his resignation, and one thing in particular struck me — he spoke from the diaphragm, he spoke firmly and confidently. He talked about what he’s done well and wanted to make sure that anyone listening thought about him as a good person. He also never identified what he had done wrong.
