Mr. Spitzer in his resignation speech stated that he has always believed that, in all matters, a person needs to take personal responsibility for his actions, regardless of power and position, and that he was not going to be an exception. Sounds very nice!
What he really means is that a person takes responsibility for his actions, but only when he is caught and then only after waiting a couple of days to test the political fallout, before taking responsibility.
Not exactly the same thing!
