Entry: Spitzer on the Hook Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/book_him#19747 Post contents: MetaCynic, I think you may be righ. Political blackmail is not new. I question though Spitzer's judgement. He knew what the stakes were if he were caught and that he may be undrer scrutiny. He is a Clinton supporter and this is bound to hurt her. But surely this may be among the first examples as to the political use of wiretapping and illegal access to personal information. You can expect more of it. The timing is remarkable. (Just before an important primary in the East.) I happen to think that here is one more reason why women may be more stable politicians. They are less likely to engage in sex scandals.
