It's interesting to ask why powerful people do stupid things. Literature from the time humans learned to write has addressed the issue - and all powerful people have at some point been exposed to the stories - and yet they continue.
In today's Strib, local lawyer David Lebedoff considers the intersection of Elliot Spitzer's smart brain and stupid behavior.
How can someone with Princeton and Harvard degrees, who made it to the position of Governor of New York, do something as singularly stupid as get caught using prostitutes?
There really are few better ways to lose average folks' respect.
I find it fascinating.
