AP: “Why do otherwise smart, successful people do such risky things? For psychologists and political analysts who found themselves dissecting the Spitzer story, it was a question of the chicken or the egg: In such situations, does the risky behavior precede the powerful job? Or does something about being in power cause the behavior?”

These men would behave in a similar manner regardless of what position or how much power they had. Lower class people just call it picking up bar ******. When you place the blame on their position or their power, it just gives them an excuse for their behavior. Kind of like when parents try to medicalize childrens bad behavior.
