Two days after Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.) was implicated on prostitution charges, he stood with his wife before members of the media in his Manhattan office.
“Over the course of my public life, I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct,” he said. “I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of the governor.”
