The Real Spitzer Problem

There are so many to choose from, obviously, but Bruce Webster believes he's isolated the real doosey:

Simply put, as State Attorney General, Spitzer reduced the competition for the prostitution ring he personally used, while leaving that p-ring untouched. Stop and think about that. The heart of this issue isn't about sex, it's not about the Mann Act, it's not about 'structuring', and it's not even just about making use of a criminal enterprise. It's about the most profound type of corruption that an AG can succumb to: helping out the criminal enterprise that he personally is doing business with by going after its competition.
