Subject: Spitzer: I don’t get it. Dear KJL, I cannot understand the whole prostitution thing anyway, but I *really* don’t get it in Gov. Spitzer’s case: Silda Wall Spitzer is …, well, to put it crudely, totally smokin’ hot. Good grief. Reminds me of Chesterton, this is butchered, but something along the lines of: I’m amazed at men who desire to be with many women, as I am so grateful to even have one, which is more than I deserve. -Bill

UPDATE from West Palm Beach:

Your reader was paraphrasing this passage from Chesterton’s “Orthodoxy”: ”I could never mix in the common murmur of that rising generation against monogamy, because no restriction on sex seemed so odd and unexpected as sex itself… Keeping to one woman is a small price for so much as seeing one woman. To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once. It was incommensurate with the terrible excitement of which one was talking.” – Chapter 4 – The Ethics of Elfland
