Spitzer in the Wind…
I just watched Eliot Spitzer give his resignation speech. A majority of New Yorkers had such high hopes for their new Governor. They really believed he had the intellect, stamina, charisma, and tenacity to turn a desperately mismanaged and entrenched NY State around. While I’m sitting here at my desk trying to figure out the perfect cartoon for tomorrow’s paper, I thought I’d do a quick recap in cartoons of his giddy ascent and descent, just to illustrate the astonishing distance he has fallen in so short a period…
In them you’ll notice my skepticism was initially aimed at his ability to handle Albany. Who’d have thought he would have so much trouble handling himself?
