Well, the Eliot Spitzer imbroglio is all over the news. I kind of feel sorry for him, but my heart really goes out to his wife and their three children. Did you see her face and demeanor?
I remember one time hearing Rabbi Friedman, bless his soul, say that the crusaders in society virtually all of the time are trying hard to address issues in their own background (e.g., Jimmy Swaggert, Ted Haggard, Chuck Colson, etc.). Here, in past years, Spitzer so aggressively pushed for ethics and fair play, and now he is seen for the hypocrite that he is. Makes me think of a passage where Jesus says, "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging."
