The coast is clear Eliot, come back!
Should we be surprised by the news that disgraced former New York Eliot Spitzer will not be prosecuted for his crimes? Sadly not.
We have come to expect this "rub my back and I'll rub yours" treatment of elected leaders, and in fact, we have become somewhat numb to it.
Coincidence that the decision came just two days after the election? You can decide for yourself. I wonder what all the people whose careers he toppled like Dick Grasso are thinking as they hear of this news today.
What's next for Spitzer? Surely a lucrative book deal to explain what in his childhood or career drove him to abusing his office and patronizing prostitutes. With the help of experts who rebuild soiled brands and reputations, most likely an executive position with a large company, and/or seats on various boards.
What he will never earn back is his dignity or honor.
Business may welcome this "John" back, and I am sure that God will forgive him, but, we are all reminded once again that the system of justice is more one of convenience versus impartiality and objectivity.
