Lez Keep It Real

1) They don’t know the difference between separation of church and state … or gay people and terrorists for that matter.

2) Even the few you believe in or trust are shady mother crunchers.

AP NEW YORK — As Gov. Eliot Spitzer faced mounting calls to resign amid a prostitution scandal,
a law enforcement official said Tuesday that the governor first came under suspicion because of cash payments from several bank accounts to an account operated by a call-girl ring. Spitzer was the initial target of the investigation and was tracked using court-ordered wiretaps that appear to have recorded him arranging for a prostitute to meet him at a Washington hotel in mid-February, the official said.

I e-mailed my father the above video and said, “This is the kind of rhetoric that scares me, because it isn’t just anybody saying it — it’s a lawmaker.”

He responded with, “What do you expect from a politician?”

I responded with, “Exactly. See Spitzer.”

I won’t repeat what he said after that.

I feel so bad for his wife. She looked as though she had been punched in the stomach in every photo taken during Spitzer’s (put out the fire quickly) press conference. Even when he apologized, I didn’t feel as though he regretted his actions. He didn’t speak off the cuff, he memorized a few statements and regurgitated them on cue.

I honestly believe that if he hadn’t been caught, he’d still be big pimpin’.

Seriously though, I expect more from those we elect into lawmaking positions. I mean, come on. I know that everyone isn’t perfect. We all have vices and skeletons in our closets. But people in these types of positions are held to a higher standard. They have to be in order for them to be able to enact political policies that are fair and just, as well as morally sound. I really wonder if and when you get to a certain status in the political sphere, you are required to check your morals at the door. If that’s the case, then I don’t want to run for office anymore. I’d rather spend my time in the rolling hills of Scotland, writing and enjoying the view from afar.

Anybody want to come with me?
