When each politician takes an oath to public life, voters did not mean that their sex lives would end up on the evening news or on CNN! Geez, there's a long history of sex scandals and politicians -- Gary Hart, Senator Craig -- to give late night TV hosts lots of materials. Jay Leno would have been fine without his writers if this news broke a few weeks ago.

Seriously, the victims remain Spitzer's wife and children and the voters of New York and even the Democratic Party. I hope that the two hours of fame was really worth it. Then again, we can ask the FBI for the tapes of the sessions.

Advice to politicians: just use the Internet
