1. He actively prosecuted prostitution rings while he was state AG
while he was patronizing prostitutes.
It was the hypocrisy

2. Another example of how power corrupts - he threw it all away
Because he wasn't emotionally stable enough to control himself.

3. Spitzer could have been the most effective AG in a generation
...and he way overpaid for.."ahem"...services.

5. I'm with Sanity Claws -- the hypocrisy. That's what I scream about the loudest

7. He was on his way to testify against wall street the very next day...
hardly a coincidence. Yes, he messed up his personal life, but our loss was bigger. No one else would do or say what he was going to.

Watching the look on his wife's face as she stood next to him at the podium of shame...ugh.
