The powerful become powerless

Did Eliot Spitzer think he was invincible?  Even the President of the United States got caught with his pants down; did some lowly governor of New York think he was going to get away with having trysts with all these call girls? 

It’s amazing to see how when some people are handed a status in their lives, i.e., president, governor, rock star, they think they obtain super powers that nobody can touch.  Yet, they are nothing but mortal humans like the rest of us and they can be touched, they can become powerless.

And it’s fun to watch them fall.  When these types lose their “powers” it hits the headlines; when us simple people who have menial jobs as sanitation engineers or teachers fall, nobody gives a shit.
