Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York is apologetic today. We’re not sure if he’s sorry for hiring prostitutes from a prostitution ring or for getting caught.

From CNN: “Spitzer, a Democrat, rose to prominence as a hard-charging attorney general hailed by Time magazine as “Crusader of the Year.” He was nicknamed “Eliot Ness” by the New York tabloids in reference to the incorruptible hero of “The Untouchables.” He was known for rooting out corruption within Wall Street and on the streets.”

“He also made a name for himself by busting prostitution rings.”
