If that train should jump the track, do I get my $5K back?
The way the media was making this stuff out at first, I thought the guv' was RUNNING a cathouse or a prostitution ring, or was making money off it. Turns out he's just a customer. I don't approve, but that's MY problem. Everyone who's all huffy about this on the screen has probably committed a similar "victimless crime" at some point, so I have to laugh. He did get ripped off, though. I know so many women/girls who'll give it away for free, if you talk nice enough! *GRIN* As Blinky puts it, "Hell, Eunice, I slept with my ex for a YEAR and din't make five thousand dollars, countin' room and BOARD!"
I suspect he was into some wacky stuff that his wife isn't into, and thus the high price. That's the kicker (pun alert!), because he apparently ran on a "morality" ticket. Whoopsie!
The world, of course, is having a field day. I can't help noting that his vocal critics are a bunch of hypocrites, because of course THEIR sins* are just as bad, but mostly have not come to light. ALL have sinned and fall short, after all.
* (For whatever value of "sins" you prefer. Or insert your favorite euphemism.)
I don't know why the guy didn't know they'd be watching. That was poor judgment.
To the media I say, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Clamoring around this guy is kind of a waste of time when there are important events world-wide. School lockdowns, real problems, etc. But hey, this makes great teevee!
At least I didn't have to hear more about the election during the time this stuff was blatting out of the noisebox, though. (It's on in Mama's room off the kitchen because she's miserable and she just kind of stares at it while she's recovering. Otherwise, the box would be turned off. Bleah!)
She's just SLIGHTLY better today. We're feeling very put-upon. *sheepish look* Well, we are.

Date: 2008-03-12 04:29 am (UTC)I have a theory (now THAT's real news, right?) that Hillary Clinton found out about Spitzer's secret carryings-on and silently blew the whistle on him through a third party. Why do that to a fellow Democratic governor of your own [sic] state? Because they were once in agreement on the conduct of Iraq war, until she changed to place herself in what she believes is a more electable position. Eliot said something critical and discovered he'd made an enemy who wasted little time inserting the knife.
As for moral outrage, I feel none. We've been trying to legislate morality since the days of the Puritans. The human sex drive in all its manifestations has managed to survive. And we have managed to learn nothing.
It will be interesting to see how America's first blind governor works out, though. Being able to say with complete honesty, "I didn't see a thing" could work in his advantage. ;-)
