Primrose Road

The Daily News and New York Post tend to not be the most intelligent rags on the newsstand, and I'm finding it somewhat annoying that, by their jumping on the story of David Paterson and his wife's self-confessed extramarital affairs, both papers made it look like Eliot Spitzer was forced out of office simply because he cheated on his wife.

Spitzer resigned (and would have otherwise likely been impeached) because he knowingly committed a federal offense. He's an awful man for potentially exposing his wife to AIDS by refusing to use a condom when visiting prostitutes, but that type of judgement should probably sit outside the political sphere, because my "family values" aren't your "family values" and yours aren't mine.
