Here are some inviolable rules that people should know:

• Never start a land war in Asia Minor. If you’ve played Risk you know why. Obviously, Bush, Congress, and their lackeys never played Risk.
• Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. With apologies to Vizzini…
• Crusaders shouldn’t sin. They always get caught.

Somehow I take more pleasure in the scandals when it’s wide stance Senators in men’s rooms, sacrosanct family-first Senator’s visiting prostitutes, or Florida politicians offering money for blow jobs. But turnabout is fair play and few crusaders have been asking for it more than NY Governor Eliot Spitzer. What were you thinking about? It clearly wasn’t that virtually anyone would blow the whistle on him for virtually anything. Apparently he was distracted by high-end tail (one companion’s rate was $5,500 per hour.)

Now that we’re talking about this, where does a public servant get that kind of discretionary income? I think we’ve not heard the last of this particular scandal…The Republican’s love you Spitzer for taking the focus off their faux pas.
