Elliot Spitzer Too Arrogant and Abrasive For The New York Times?

I get the impression that the Times is not especially upset about Spitzer's fall.

Alas for Mr. Spitzer, his shiv-in-the-kidney style, which served him so well in facing down skittish bankers and mutual fund executives, met its match in Albany. He relied — too often, said some — on his tough-talking crew from the attorney general’s office, and tended to speak loudly when he might better have listened.

"Shiv in the kidney:" Now that's a good blogger line.

Perhaps if he had been a better listener he would have learned what goeth before the fall.
