Gov. Spitzer's biggest sin

Yesterday, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer announced his resignation effective Monday the 17th, as a result of the prostitution scandal that erupted over the past few days.

It was wrong for him to cheat on his wife with prostitutes.

It was disgusting that he allegedly spent as much as $80,000 on very expensive call girls.

And it was stupid of him to use the shady financial maneuvers that got him caught -- the same kinds of money-laundering schemes that he used to crusade against.

But, in my own opinion, those are not the worst of his crimes.

I was most taken aback when I read in an Associated Press article that Spitzer preferred not to wear a condom while having sex with prostitutes.

That is worse than just cheating on his wife. It is recklessly endangering the health and well-being of his wife and anyone else he has sex with.

I am sure that his wife realizes this, and that Gov. Spitzer will have hell to pay. As well he should.
