A point of note

Apparently the big news today is the resignation of the governor of New York after his involvement with a prostitution ring has been made public.  I cannot help but laugh at his speech, during which he said (and I'm paraphrasing) that he demands that people in power own up to their mistakes and take responsibility for them.  He would expect no less from himself, he says.  So, does anyone out there believe for one second that had some investigation left his indiscretion in the dark, he would have "accepted responsibility" and stepped down of his own accord?  Ha.
