What is the deal with these public officials getting caught with their pants down? Literally. Do these politicians honestly think that no one will find out that they are laundering money, paying for sex, or any other array of other criminal activities? I’m referring to the Eliot Spitzer fiasco we’ve all been bombarded with the past two days.  He is just a pr nightmare and I don’t know if he can be saved. I just read an article discussing his team’s communications plan, and how they made a serious mistake by letting too much time lapse between the scheduled press conference time, and the time he actually appeared to make his “apology.” Did Spitzer make a serious mistake by showing up late? Did it allow the press too much time to come to their own conclusions? I’m not sure how many scenarios the press could have created in that time, but in my book, if you show up 45 minutes late to your own press conference, it doesn’t look good.Now, was it a good pr move to have his wife standing by his side? Was he trying to send the message that “my wife is forgiving me, so you (the public), should forgive me too?”  I honestly feel terrible for this woman. She is probably in such shock and pain it won’t even hit her until later in the week. Honestly, this guy should have turned to his wife, looked her in the eye, admitted to all that he did, and begged for her forgiveness on national tv. Maybe then would he have gotten a bit more empathy from me.
