Simply put, it comes as a bigger blow to discover that Spitzer was a crooked man wearing an honest man’s mask than if we had known him to be crooked all along. New York is surely weary of sanctimonious politicians who say one thing and do another. Incoming governor David A. Paterson has inherited a difficult situation from Eliot Spitzer, but hopefully he will assume the office with the transparency...
