Every newsman's pulse was racing with the news about Gov. Elliot Spitzer yesterday. The sense I got as a viewer was this was better than any juicy story they could have dreamt up and it was happening in real time. Now granted, here was a man who spent a good portion of his career weeding out the worst of the worst on Wall Street, including their associates and "playthings" but the way they were acting reminded me a little of hyenas on a carcass. And the whole time he's up there admitting to his many transgressions, with the little wifey by his side, and the vultures just waiting to pick him clean, all I could think to myself was, well, at least he was with a woman. Geez. That's how immune many of us have become to this parade of our politicians' sex lives by the media, hypocritical rivals, and other attention-seeking agenda carriers. You know, it's not like the pervert was in a public bathroom looking for it, he was keeping his indiscretions to himself. I had a heated discussion about a similar subject with my older, yet not wiser mother, who believes that Hillary wouldn't make a good President because her husband got a hummey from someone other than her under the Oval Office desk. "What the fuck? Are you serious?" was the last thing I said before Mom changed the subject. My point-I don't give a RAT'S ASS how my leaders get their freak on, I just want them to spend my tax money wisely, to not give in to special interests, and to help those who need a leg up in life. That's it. Don't tell me anymore because I know, in every walk of life, there will be men in positions of power who will lead double lives. Does that in and of itself preclude them from having successful careers? Let's just put it this way, if we eliminated every CEO, CFO, Congressman, Priest, Minister, etc, from his position due to the deviant, sadistic, or perverted lifestyle he led, well, the world would be run by women.
