Spitzer swallows?

Spitzer resigning today is another example of the hilarity of American politics. We tend to cling onto the stories that don't really matter it seems. Gay marriage, flag burning, and abortion outrage you can file alongside this story in the long list of things that don't matter. I know Christianity and I also know that there are several passages about judgement and humility that happen to be from Jesus himself. I also know that if I accept, befriend, and for some even tolerate these supposed sinners that in the end, if and when I meet the maker there will be no discussion of other people's lives. If I have lived a virtuous life and even if I have not, only I will bear responsibility and only my personal actions and motives will be on trial.


Why can't we discuss the real issues facing America such as foreign oil dependence, gas prices, health care, disease, poverty, prison reform, education reform, and port security? These are just a few of the issues we face and if the right would put away their moral hard on for just a minute they'd realize that the issues I have cited and America in general could be better served by paying attention to the things that make America better for all her citizens.

Spitzer hurt the feelings of those who trusted him. I'll give you that. I will not however be a part of the political witch hunt. The only way he hurt the state of New York is by doing something so stupid that the American media repeats the stupid yet personal mistakes over and over and from every angle. There is indeed a media bias but I think it's more towards the politics of personal destruction than it is a liberal or Democratic bias. MSNBC and CNN have had their breaking news banner up all day and all night since the governor first announced there was impropriety and he was sorry. Fox of course had their FOX NEWS ALERT banner up just the same. The man had a personal failing and because of the media was not able to overcome such a private matter. At this time there are no allegations of misuse of public funds nor have any charges been filed.

A man who made a horrible mistake in his private life is now publicly shamed for a very personal matter that had 0 bearing on job performance until he couldn't possibly get to work without irrelevant questions being posed. Sound familiar Mr. Star?


The MSCNFOX network presents GOSSIP!
A joint venture between CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, and The National Equirer.
Tuesday March 12 - next year, 24/7 coverage. We'll explore the world of Eliott Spitzer and his godless ways. Once we've covered this and every element of the story we promise to keep doing it. Spitzer's destruction of American morality on the next GOSSIP!

Also, stay tuned after the show for an inside look at the pricks who killed Terry Schiavo, why they hate women, the liberals in congress who stopped us from saving her from the guy who had legal right to do what he did, and the liberal doctors who think they know it all after 10 years in school.

We'll also try to figure out why republicans (who are supposed to be the rich ones) have sex in public bathrooms and why democrats who are supposed to be for the poor call $2000.00 an hour hookers.
