Nomination for most eye-popping quote about the N.Y. Gov. Eliot Spitzer prostitution mess, from the Wall Street Journal:
His brother, Daniel Spitzer, a neurosurgeon, said: "If men never succumbed to the attractions of women, then the human species would have died out a long time ago."
(Thanks to EP Sharon Hoffman, on a train to NPR HQ in D.C.)
I was standing when I saw this, so I sat down just so I could fall off my couch laughing. Thanks much.
The truth will always be funny:)
Daniel Spitzer's comment is actually quite similar to what NPR's own Nina Totenberg said on-the-air during Bill Clinton's Lewinsky scandal: "Boys will be boys!"
and girls will be girls so while you men think you are getting away with it by ignoring the wife at home statistics show you would be better requesting a DNA test before presuming the child is yours. Perhaps you are getting away with it because your neglected wife at home is too busy to care.
