Jeff LichtmanBrian, there's not much known about Patterson other than the fact that he is legally blind. A Lt. Gov. in NY is never thought of as a realistic major political power; it's really just a minor job -- until now, of course.
As for Spitzer's inability to be embarrassed, this is what happens I suppose when your parents give you everything in life from Day 1. Arrogrance, entitlement and never having to say you're sorry. I would think that considering he's destroyed his family, humiliated his wife and has zero politcal future, the prudent thing to do was to resign immediately and work on gaining the trust of his family back. But who's to say what is in the mind of a guy who spends half a Wagner on hookers and doesn't like to wear condoms with them?
