Oh, and as for role models? I think one of the big reasons our kids get so fixated on famous people as role models is because their parents are not around to be those role models for them. My daughter learns more about how to behave by watching me than she does by listening to what I have to say. In short, I am going to be a more effective parent being around to demonstrate how human beings behave than I will be only seeing her for a couple hours in the evening and giving her verbal advice all the time.

Pretty powerful, if you think about it.

I care that he slept with a prostitute, because in effect he was saying that a human being is nothing more than a hamburger over which he gets to “have it his way.” That is disgusting, half the population of New York state is female, and he’s essentially saying half his state is subhuman and should be up for buying and selling. I don’t want a man like that anywhere *near* in charge of me.

I also disagree with plonkee that marital fidelity and business fidelity are two different things. I think the personal relationships are the first place a person like this starts acting out because they know they will very likely get away with it; there are fewer laws governing how one must treat one’s relatives than there are governing how one must behave in a business transaction. (This is likely one of the reasons Westerners look askance at other cultures which have strict rules about marriage and family behavior: we have no equivalent institution since Christianity lost most of its teeth in the West.) I think that it’s when a person gets away with mistreating their family that they move on to mistreating other people. Had Spitzer never been caught buying a hooker, who knows what else he might have gotten up to. If his wife doesn’t make a further example of him by dumping him on his butt in the street, he might try it anyway. Not because she made him do it by letting him get away with infidelity, but because people like that think they’ve gotten away with something if they haven’t gotten the worst punishment possible.

(And I wonder if he would even consider it a punishment to be dumped by his wife. Obviously he doesn’t care about her or he wouldn’t have been off buying hookers.)

The comments on the prostitute’s MySpace page were unreal (it’s linked from her Wikipedia page, which is linked from Spitzer’s)–all positive comments, which goes without saying on MySpace, but then they acted like *she* was the one put out of joint and kept telling *her* to keep her chin up, and most of them seemed more interested in her music career than anything. Bizarre.
