Eliot Spitzer. The high moral man. The enforcer of all that's right and just. Principled. Trustworthy. A stalwart against the big bad corporations and wealthy Republicans. Now he's busted in a wiretap operation.

What they didn't say about Mr. Spitzer is that he also is dumb as a box of rocks. This is a man who made his bones listening to tapped conversations of others.

He MUST resign! Not because he may have transported prostitutes across state lines; or frequented prostitutes; or because he abused the public trust. Not because he may have used money not his own for some of these activities; not because of the public humiliation he rained down on the woman who loves him and her children -- all girls. But because to think, in this day of zero privacy, you could get away with this you must be too stupid to hold any responsible job or in Mr. Spitzer's case, a semi responsible job.

It seems to be a pattern, doesn't it? Rich, so called populist Democrats, completely unfazed by legal prohibitions on their activities. They seem to abound.

The Clintons -- he a sexual predator; he, she and their posse looting the White House and hiding records from an investigation begun by their attorney General.

Robert and John Kennedy, both sanctimonious, immensely wealthy, having affairs with women connected to the mob and Marilyn Monroe. Perhaps, many have speculated, they were involved in her death.

Of course, the most famous Kennedy, the fatuous Teddy. A slobbering drunk, drove his car into the water and left a young women to die in the back seat. A man so obviously incapacitated in many televised hearings his hands all a shake and eyelids heavy.

These and one more, an ancient, evil and wizened old viper who once was once a Klu Klux Klan Klagavated Klingon or whatever silly names they called each other -- Robert Byrd.

The list is almost endless: Wilber Mills; Dan Rostenkowski, Jim Wright, and the Abscam -- "your money for lunch" -- bunch all come to mind effortlessly.
