Eliot Spitzer and being not so legal

Eliot Spitzer. A name that perhaps a few years ago conjured up images of beating up the bad guys, fighting the good fight.  But what now? What happens now to a guy who has everything going for him and decided he wanted $4,000 (is that how much it was?) sex? Did he ever think “is this legal”? Was it a thought that crossed his mind and he decided to ignore it?

What makes someone ignore that small little voice that says “this isn’t legal” when they know they are doing something wrong? Did Eliot Spitzer make that conscious decision and if so, how bizarre is that? The guy pursued organized crime! He spent time fighting the guys that don’t care what “legal” means and even “organize” plans around beating the system. Did he want to just see what he could get away with? Was he just a guy bored with his marriage and wanted to add some excitement? Regardless, before he found that prostitute, he HAD to have a moment where he thought to himself that what he was doing was wrong. Or worse, he never even thought about it and how sad is that.  

This is a case where being not so legal really took a turn for the worse.  People try to get away with things and I’m here to say that being “not so legal” never works out. It just never does.
