I liked this:

Eliot Spitzer is a welsher. He bet that he could get away with
something he knew could seriously damage, if not destroy, his marriage
and career [why else would he use the false names and engage in the
elaborate payment schemes], but when he loses his bet and it’s time to
pay up, he and his surrogates whine about the high cost. If you can’t
afford to lose, don’t make the bet.
All this flap about “prostitution is a victimless crime” and
“prostitution should be legal” is a red herring: If “John” Spitzer
wanted to bang his hookers legally, Gov. Spitzer could have introduced
legislation to make it legal. Let’s keep it simple: Eliot Spitzer bet
that he wouldn’t get caught; he got caught; he should pay up.
