Spitzer should be Disbarred

The issue in the Spitzer scandal is not that he had extramarital sex.
I couldn't care less about his sex life.

He opened himself up to blackmail by depending on the secrecy of others to maintain his hypocrisy. He also made his name prosecuting others for the very same "activities" he liked to partake in. He knows full well that these type of high-dollar operations are controlled by organized crime.

He has shown himself to be a shallow and vindictive hypocrite with very poor judgment. He used his office as AG and as Governor to attempt to destroy the reputations of people who dared to disagree with him.

He has permanently damaged his relationship with his daughters not to mention the embarrassment he has brought upon his wife.

Some things his apologists should keep in mind;

1) Spitzer is, as a member of the New York Bar, an officer of the Court. He will likely be disbarred as a result of this scandal.

2) Spitzer was the Chief law enforcement official for the State of New York. He took an oath to enforce the law.

3) He violated Federal law by structuring wire transfer payments in order to hide payments for an illegal activity. He knowingly broke this Federal law, repeatedly. This will be the violation that gets him disbarred.

I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
