This time, the so-called victim is New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. On March 10 The New York Times reported that Spitzer had been involved in a prostitution ring. This news finally turned Spitzer into a joke in the American politics.

The Governor had nothing much to say. He tried to look strong and confident but his eyes could not hide his sorrowful emotion and with his wife Silda on his right side he said, “I am deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me. To every New Yorker and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for, I sincerely apologize.”

Spitzer, who was once known as Mr. Clean for his efforts to fight against corruption in Wall Street while serving as the New York Attorney General, ended his bright political career. The person who had been projected to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2012 ended his political career with shame.

Interestingly, David Paterson who took over Spitzer’s position last Monday has admitted that he had extramarital affairs with several different women from 1999 until 2001. His wife has also admitted that she had an affair in the past.

As you know it, Eliot Spitzer is not the first public humiliation in American politics. The most famous political sex scandal in American politics is no doubt the former president Bill Clinton’s affair with his intern Monica Lewinsky. The scandal almost threw Bill Clinton out of the White House.

Several days after the news about his sexual relations broke Bill Clinton gave a famous press conference denying his sexual relations with Lewinsky. He said, “Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time, never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.”

But, later we found out Bill Clinton actually had done it.

Another famous American political sex scandal is Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey who proudly said, “I’m a gay American.” McGreevey resigned three months later after committing that he had sexual relations with his aide and driver, Teddy Pederson.
