Note to (ex) Governor Spitzer: be sincere

Dear Mr. Spitzer:
If you are, in fact, repentent for your deeds, you should attempt to look it on camera.

Heartfelt apologies are appropriate (especially considering what a big mess you have created), but in today's visual age, when "on camera", it's also appropriate for you to "look" apologetic.

Delivering that heartfelt apology with a face of grim determination, and appearing "pissed off" to have been found out instead of legitimately apologetic, just doesn't cut it in the 21st century.

If you are truly sorry, act like it, don't just talk like it. If you don't know how, learn fast.

We take no joy in your downfall - it's a warning to all who aspire to public office - beware of those who you piss off on the way up, since they will be gunning for you on the way down (or helping you fall, if they can)
