About Governor Spitzer. Is it really that newsworthy? Has his confessed marital infidelity actually robbed him of all the skill he had before this revelation? That is doubtful.
I suppose some might say; “He broke the law.” Well I guess he did. I am not all that concerned about that. I bet some of you reading this have done that.
But yet, this revelation of his sexual appetite has garnered an awful lot of newspaper space and air time on the broadcast media.
I suppose some are outraged at this activity as it is a violation of one of The Ten Commandments that was meant to preserve the integrity of the marriage relationship. It certainly did compromise his marriage relationship.
However compare it to this. The present resident of the White House lied to the American public, also a violation of one of the commandments. He conspired with others in his cabinet to deceive the American public into agreeing to a war the grounds of which have since been found to be non-existent, and fraudulently portrayed. As a result, by some estimates up to 300,000 human beings have died. This by any understanding of the word is killing, which is a violation of another of the commandments. Many think it was an act of imperialism, which is a violation of another of the commandments about coveting the things other people have. Add to this the mistreatment of American wounded when they are sent home unfit for life.
So I'm asking why the media hasn't given this activity as much tabloid like exposure as is given to a simple case of sexual misconduct.
I think those activities are a lot worse than a married man paying for sex with a prostitute.
