Clinton always portryed himself as a good 'ol boy from the South who made good. This Spitzer portrayed himself as morally unassailable while crusading against the same stuff he is now 'guity' of. Big mistake. Stick a fork in him.
most non New Yorkers won't be able to fully appreciate this story.
Elliot portrayed himself as an Elliot Ness type of law enforcer! kicking butt and taking names.
He was the Attorney General of NY for 8 years, which makes this whole episode all the more interesting
