AIDES GONE WILD...ELIOT SPITZER EDITION

This is a good leader, clear of mind and sound thinking:

Albany

WE made mistakes.

Though two independent investigations proved that no illegal activity occurred on my watch, it is crystal clear that what members of my administration did was wrong — no ifs, ands or buts.

I have apologized to Joe Bruno, the Senate majority leader, and now I want to apologize to all New Yorkers.

This is an excerpt from the New York Times; a public apology, written by the Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer.

No passing of the buck, no scapegoating, no seeking to escape responsibility, even if it wasn't Eliot Spitzer himself.

Which is more than I can say for the President of the United States.
