Eliot Spitzer on His Prostitution Scandal

"I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and that violates my — or any — sense of right and wrong," said the former governor of New York after his transgressions with prostitutes were discovered and reported. "I apologize first, and most importantly, to my family. I apologize to the public, whom I promised better." He resigned in March 2008.
