All my life......

..... I've heard folks say, "Be sure you make a lot of friends on the way to the top - so they'll be there for you if start to fall back toward the bottom!"

If ever there was a poster boy for a guy who never heeded this advice, it would appear to be NY Governor Eliot Spitzer (Dem-NY)! I don't reckon I have ever seen such a universal 'piling on' as has occurred this last three days. News reporters, politicians, businessmen, and TV personalities are jumping up and down on his last remains!

I've heard the words, arrogant - vindictive - rude - abrasive - unyielding - and worse when folks are discussing him.

Take a note Pilgrims! How much softer would his fall be if he were surrounded by friends instead of laughing applause! I reckon this metaphorical 'Toilette' water was not created by a friend!
