Zubin Jelveh highlights this piece of wisdom (which I didn’t quote in my previous post):

It seems to me that the truly important violations of the public trust are when the power we give our government officials is sold, rather than what government officials choose to buy.

This is why I’m more worried about what the SEC is selling than what Eliot Spitzer has been buying.
