Cut Spitzer some slack

Call me contrarian on this, but I'm not jumping on the bash-Spitzer bandwagon. What has happened is a tragedy. His actions were a manifestation of the human failings we all inherently have in us. His mistake, which is causing this self-inflicted crisis to be further amplified, was the years he spent on a moral high-horse, out to destroy others with his anti-corporate crusading. If Spitzer had been a little less brazen, and taken a little less delight in ruining other people's lives, perhaps he'd be getting a bit more support from certain quarters now. He will likely have to resign, and he probably should, but to relish in the man's downfall is unseemly.
