*** Well it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. New York Governor Elliott Spitzer being caught up in a prostitution ring has a nice ring of irony to it. A man who was fought corruption (I call it extortion, milking companies for millions to make him look like he is doing a good job) in the corporate and political world is now caught up in a scandal of his own with people calling for his resignation. Knowing that he is a Democrat, (you wouldn’t know it by reading articles about it) he probably won’t resign or at least not for a while, trying to live through the criticism until the very end. You might even see spin of a right wing conspiracy. If this was a mistress or a office fling, I wouldn’t haven’t a problem of him staying in office, (he will have his own problems at home with his wife) but HE BROKE THE LAW. Soliciting prostitution is illegal, not the sexual act. With Bill and Monica, it wasn’t the office fling , it was Bill lying under oath that got him in trouble. As Governor and before that Attorney General he is expected to uphold the law of the state of New York. How many people have he sent to jail for the same offense. As I am writing this a major lefty Alan Deshorwitz on CNN is trying to justifying this by saying prostitution laws are outdated and we should legalize it like Europe (I do agree, but its still against the law NOW), and Bill Clinton never resigned and finished his term but in the same conversation he didn’t like what Larry Craig did in a public restroom. Trying to justify an illegal act doesn’t make old Alan look good in my eyes. I guess let the spin begin.

***All we have heard on the political front is the possibility of a SUPERTICKET of Barack and Hillary or Hillary and Barack. I just don’t see it happening. There is a 90% chance of Barack Obama winning the nomination unless Hillary tries to steal it. I don’t see that Hillary would take the nomination anyway, she is 60 now and if Barack wins she will be 68 when 2016 comes around. I know McCain is older now and has waited 8 years for his chance but I don’t think she was the patience to wade it out as VP. Also, she wields more power as a Senator of a large state of New York than as VP , that attends state funerals and maybe vote once or twice to break ties. If Hillary had the lead, I can see Barack taking the nomination as a step leading to the White House knowing that 2008 wasn’t his year, but we know that isn’t going to happen. Even if there were a super ticket, who says that they will be unstoppable. I have said time and time again, with us using the electoral college and not the popular vote, I just don’t see certain state that the Democrats need to win, being ready quite yet voting for the first African American or woman President of the Untied States and definitely not voting for both on the same ticket.

*** All of you Green Bay packer fans can blame me for the retirement of Brett Favre. For at least four years I have been saying at the end of each year that he will be retiring yada yada yada and each year he has came back for more. At the end of this year, I said that he will be coming back to finish what they started and guess what he retired. I call it reverse Karma. Now if this would only work on Matt Millen, worse GM in sports. Go Lions!!!!
