The Irony of Spitzer

The recent sex scandal of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is quite embarrassing. The married democratic apologized for his role and is obviously humiliated both publicly and privately; I can't imagine his wife being too happy. Just check out her picture on yesterday's NY Times homepage as her husband gives a press conference if you don't believe me, her facial expression tells you everything you need to know. However to add ultimate embarrassment to the scandal is the fact that human rights groups give credit to the disgraced Spitzer as being responsible for passing one of the toughest anti-sex trade laws in the country. Talk about irony. Perhaps next time the Governor proposes legislation he'll keep in mind his own personal life and maybe even think twice about keeping the two separate; especially nowadays with sex scandals being all the rage. At least to his credit he used a hotel. (Take a note Senator Craig).
