Eliot Spitzer’s In the Arena was cancelled on CNN last week. Why we feel bad for him:

Our relationships with the people we vote for are by necessity romances, about which I subscribe to a theory: It’s impossible to be friends with your most recent ex. In order to feel comfortable around a person with whom you’ve shared a relationship, you need to put a new ­relationship between you and the old flame. This is why, for example, a groom’s last girlfriend is rarely invited to the wedding, but a childhood or college love might get to give a toast at the rehearsal dinner.
