Never has the destruction of a politician, both personally and politically, been so thorough and complete as the one that has claimed
Eliot Spitzer.
The New York Times has posted a story tracing the events of the days leading to the discovery of
Eliot Spitzer's taste for high class prostitutes.
Apparently, after it was announced that federal investigators had arrested 4 individuals accused of running the
Emperor's Club VIP prostitution ring, reporters discovered that members on a federal corruption unit were present on the case.
The reporters became convinced that a high level government official was implicated in the case, and by Friday or Saturday, they were convinced that it was
Spitzer.
Spitzer alerted his staff Sunday, on Monday, apologized to the public, and by Wednesday afternoon he had resigned.
The
Times report doesn't give details about how and why their reporters came to believe it was
Spitzer who was implicated, another than wishful thinking proven to be correct, of course.
