Spitzer Case Reveals America's Twisted Priorities

By MARC MCDONALD

It's unclear exactly what transpired in the Eliot Spitzer call-girl scandal. Details are still sketchy at this point. But no matter how this pans out, a lot of us are annoyed with Spitzer for essentially gift-wrapping an issue for Fox News and HateWing radio to peddle for the next few months.

But let's be clear about what we're talking about here:

Sex between consenting adults.

You can call it whatever you want. Prostitution. Hookers. Call girls. Infidelity. Sleaze. A bone-headed mistake. Poor ethics and morals. Plain stupidity.

But at the end of the day, no matter what you call it, we're still talking about nothing more than sex between consenting adults.

And now, the media is howling for Spitzer to resign.

Yes, the same mainstream media that has routinely ignored, or underplayed, the sleaze and sexual perversion of dozens of GOP officials and politicians.

Yes, the same mainstream media that has never once called upon George W. Bush to resign.

Yes, the same mainstream media that has snoozed through one Bush criminal act after another over the past 7 years.

Bush has outrageously violated the Constitution. He has violated his oath of office. He lied America into a disastrous $3 trillion war of aggression that killed 1 million Iraqi men, women and children. He engaged in illegal wiretaps and embraced torture as official state policy. He made the United States the most feared and hated nation on the planet.

Meanwhile, the same media that is braying for Spitzer to resign, looked the other way while Bush virtually destroyed just about everything that once was good about America. Indeed, the MSM even collaborated with Bush and helped him sell his war to the American people.

Sex between consenting adults versus lying the nation into a war that slaughtered a million civilians.

Yes, America definitely has its priorities in order these days.

As Eliot Spitzer Media Storm Builds, Let's Not Forget GOP Is Still The Party Of Perverts

.
The New York Times is reporting today that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been linked to a prostitution ring.

We can expect a 24/7 media frenzy on this story over the next few weeks. Never mind the many actual issues of national importance that the media could be spending time on, such as the nation's deteriorating economy, or the ongoing horrific violence in Iraq (which killed 5 U.S. soldiers on Monday).

Let's keep one thing in mind as the Spitzer scandal unfolds: there is absolutely no doubt that the GOP is still America's party of sexual perverts. As The Carpetbagger Report put it:

...Sen. David Vitter, the Louisiana "family-values" Republican, was caught up in an alleged prostitution ring of his own, and he ended up getting a standing ovation from the Senate Republican caucus. Larry Craig is still a senator. John McCain committed adultery and he's the Republican nominee for president. Rudy Giuliani marched in a parade with his mistress and was taken seriously as a presidential candidate. Maybe, then, Spitzer can survive this scandal?

Oh, and one other thing: the above is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Republican Party's sexual perversions.

If you doubt this, then take a look at RepublicanSexOffenders.com, a site that rounds up a mind-boggling collection of perversion by GOP officials and politicians, including kiddie porn, child molestation, rape, sexual assault, incest, etc. It makes an old-fashioned visit to a prostitute seem wholesome by comparison.
