When I was at SIUC the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute brought in several speakers connected to the 1988 Presidential election. Michael Dukakis came one day and he was asked to make some remarks to young people thinking about going into politics.
I forget most of what he said but one bit of advice had the audience rolling. "If you want to hold major elected office, have a fun, enjoyable but conventional sex life."
I wish he had told Eliot Spitzer. I've been very impressed with his career so far and wondered along with many others if he would run for President one day. What a shame to see him screw it up for himself.
