F. Scott Fitzgerald once said there were no second acts in America. He hadn’t met Eliot Spitzer. Recently, the former New York governor was invited to deliver a lecture on ethics at Harvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics . Before I get to the ethics of this matter, let me just say: I have no interest in attacking Spitzer.

(Getty Images | Inset from Today) Eliot Spitzer went on the Today show Monday morning to talk for the first time since his resignation as governor of New York about his use of prostitutes.

Turns out David Letterman doesn't just live on a TV show. He also lives in a glass house, where for years he's hurled comedy zingers at misbehaving politicians, even as he brashly engaged in hanky-panky of his own. In March 2008, Letterman was taking potshots at Eliot Spitzer, then governor of New York, who was embroiled in an investigation into a high-end prostitution ring. "It's so sunny and bright outside that, earlier today, Eliot Spitzer came out of a brothel squinting," Letterman cracked in a monologue. But in Spitzer's case, he didn't stop at lampooning. During an indignant rant, he called for the scandalized ... Read Full Story
