On Eliot Spitzer and matters of morality

A man on the streets of Paris, making reference to the public uproar over Monica and Bill, said the following:

" In France we are more concerned with whether our leaders are screwing the people than who they are screwing."

Once again, our peculiar American obsession with public-related sexual indiscretions is roaring with hurricane force, upon learning of prostitution allegations involving New York Governor Spitzer.

Why don't we exhibit an even deeper moral outrage when it comes to the smear tactics of race, ethnic identity, and fear mongering oozing out of the Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign for President?

What must the rest of the world think of us?

Who are we?
