19. And Bush, by comparison, is...
ethical?

I'm not saying anyone deserves a pass, but it bugs me that they get all riled up over sex, which really hurts no one (it's the only crime where it's okay to get it for free, but illegal to pay for it), before attacking the bigger stuff first. I wouldn't mind going after Spitzer if we took care of all the other "issues" from our leaders, but for everyone from Larry Craig (not that I'm defending him) to Bill Clinton to a zillion others to Spitzer, sex gives everyone the willies (no pun intended), while the really serious stuff no one wants to go after. They want to go after Bush first, and Spitzer second, that's fine with me. Yes, Spitzer took an oath, and what he did was inappropriate - particularly since I believe he was formerly an Attorney General (correct?) but Bush took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Spitzer's transgression hurts his family. Bush's hurts the country for decades to come and tens upon thousands of families, and that's only counting this country. THAT'S the part that pisses me off.
