The Naughty Guv'nor

Oh, the hubris! Yet another example of the horror of the human ego reared it's head this week with the Spitzer sex scandal. The odd thing about it is how politicians know they live under a microscope with every imperfection magnified 10,000x yet, they keep thinking that they can do things like having a rollicking good illicit roll in the hay and get away with it. The equivalent for the average citizen is to go around thinking that they can dress up in drag and pee on their neighbor's porch.
(This is what you or I would look like if we had a politician-sized ego:)
Ronald Hoth, a 56-year-old man who lives with his mother in Florida, was arrested on suspicion of stalking after undercover officers say they spotted him urinating on a neighbor's porch while dressed in a blond wig and "revealing women's clothes."
He was taken into custody after a brief chase, police report. His mother, Dorothy, tells WKMG-TV that they've lived together for 14 years. "He was so sorry about it," she tells the paper. "He was practically crying. He said, 'I didn't mean to do it or to hurt you in any way. I just want to come back and do like I did.' He said, 'I will never, never, never do this ever again.'"
