WSJ: Spitzer's Rise and Fall
2008-03-11
One might call it Shakespearian if there were a shred of nobleness in the story of Eliot Spitzer's fall. There is none. Governor Spitzer, who made his career by specializing in not just the prosecution, but the ruin, of other men, is himself almost certainly ruined. . . .

#4  A man drunk on power.

Confronts a real enemy, but abuses his power in pursuit of that enemy, taking down the innocent and creating a poisonous climate of fear. "The ruin of other men", indeed.

Joseph McCarthy?

NO!

Eliot Spitzer.

Wonder if the MSM will draw the analogy.
