"The sign that points to Boston ...

… doesn't have to go there." Sometimes "Do as I say, not as I do" is very good advice. Roger Kimball on Elliott Spitzer. Thanks to Glenn Reynolds. The map is not the territory, the signpost is not the destination. And see the Maverick Philosopher for a little more on the source of this line.

And Reynolds links to a review of a Spitzer biography written when he was A.G: Robespierre Rising. The book is Spoiling for a Fight. The Amazon reviews, obviously written by Democrats, contain some gems of self-delusion.
