No matter what you may tell others (i.e. “I’m basically a good person.”), there is something at the core of your being that seems to stain even your best intentions. Like Gollum in the caves of Tolkien’s trilogy, it dwells within the heart and mind of all. Rarely does this beast reach full ferocity and manifest itself so publicly in some heinous act of cruelty or depravity. But it crouches at the doorstep for each of us, insinuating itself into our daily lives.
…The difference between me and Eliot Spitzer is largely this: I have never been elected governor of New York.
