I guess Eliot Spitzer has 10 foot pole marks all over him. No one wants near this guy unless they've got a camera and a microphone.

Sex outside the marriage is something that we are not crazy about in this country and when you find a woman on the internet --make that WOMEN on the internet--whose trade is the sex biz , you are likely gonna have a rough day if you get caught.

Oh, and when you are the Governor of New York, you can make that bad day, a bad few years.

Should we change the way we view these public officials who have affairs, relationships with prostitutes and other transgressions in their life?? I don't know, it just seems to be America's favorite media pastime every few months. Many say how great a governor Spitzer was but all note he was tough and kind of lacked any friends because of his personality and aggressive style. Now the dude is apologizing and is forced in shame into the shadows.

His real sin is that of hypocrisy isn't it?? He's the crusader who's gonna bring down every [...] house, crack house and illegal gambling house in New York State. He was doing well at it. But the truth hurts and his personal transgressions were substantial and apparently chronic.

The Spitz is a Democrat but that's my problem also with the holy roller Republican Larry Craig as well. Not so much that Larry Craig was trying to get a date in the men's room (that's pathetic and disgusting but if it's what he does on his lunch hour and he's not missing a meeting, should I care??) but his judgment and unrelenting criticism on the public stage and in the media of others with "less than traditional" personal sexual practices.

In Europe they look at our puritanical tendencies in this country and the way we drum politicos out of public life for private sexual habits and laugh. Are they right? I ask you??

AND WHAT ABOUT DAWN WELLS???

She's 69 years old, used to play Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island and now the poor woman's picture is back on TV everywhere because she got stopped with 4 marijuana cigarettes in the car. You HAVE to be kidding.

Unlike the previous examples, she is not a person who is preaching the straight and narrow to us so there is no hypocrisy here. She's just a senior citizen on the way back from her own birthday party and she got nabbed.

My problem here is the driving part. Get someone else to drive you Dawn. After that, you are 69 years old honey...if pot is what you are into, God bless. You can get baked every day from now until the end.

Wait, In Dawn's case, a little publicity might not be a bad thing, especially with a community at large that probably doesn't care that much about pot. She hasn't been on TV in a long time. Come to think of it, this might actually lead to a casting!! I see a guest role in her future, or at least a visit to the Larry King Show.

Hmmmm...call me when I turn 69 ...I'll let you know what I'm thinkin'

great post!

"His real sin is that of hypocrisy isn't it??"

yep. And he shouldn't have paid to have sex. How can he not feel bad about wasting tax payers money (his salary) for sex? That tells me he doesn’t even think of the people who support him in the least. Which isn’t surprising, if he didn’t think about his own family, why would he care about letting his constituents down?

Mark,

I will say this to all of our Representatives: make sure your house is clean of anything and everything that will cause you to get run out of office!

We must remember that foreign governments see our Representatives as an extension of all American people. If they find one whom they deem as immoral, it becomes a weapon against all of us Americans. As an example, the Islamic community overseas will look upon us with disgust when they see the pornography that gets exported to other nations, and when they see any politician struggling with his or her marriage, they use it as an excuse to attack all Americans, and kill us.

Mark, this is a great blog, as usual! By the way, it's too bad you didn't have enough time to do your Marky Shuffle last night on My 13 News! The police chase shortchanged you. And now, I must say, I SURE MISS THAT'S SO HOLLYWOOD! I can't wait to see a new version of it come around sometime in the future...new format and all!

Do the Marky Hustle!

1.

If I were Mrs. Spitzer, I'd tell the gov. that i've been repressing thoughts of ebony erotica. And make him watch me have sex with basketball players.

2.

Larry Craig says... the problem with women is you can't find one in the mens room.

3.

Dawn Wells? At that age, a little pot probably helps her see better...glaucoma.

When I'm 69? Good for her... I hope i'm in good enough health to party with 20 year olds.

a.

Most 69 year olds like JOHN MCCAIN, are pushin' a walker and always complaining about something or another...like..."I'M COLD!"

I think it sucks the Spitzer had to step down because of this... We (Americans) tend to be overly judgmental of others, but want forgiveness when we make mistakes or get caught in the wrong. Spitzer should have pulled a Bill Clinton and stayed the course.

Mister Mark T., I find that yes we should hold him to a much higher standard and here is common sense why we should. He is in a unique power position and can be blackmailed. Unfortunately he will get off easy. politician's take care of and cover one another. This my friend is the real reality. As for the wife, I can never understand why he cheated I guess. She is a very bright and seems a very pretty lady as well.

Mark,

Now this is a bit off the topic, but I have to address this one thing on my mind: You could have been a bit nicer to Maria Quiban last night! She just wanted to watch you do your moves, after you got short changed on Tuesday night with the police chase. I thought you would be a good sport about the dance moves and give Maria a little treat...but no, you got upset and stormed off. I am a bit disappointed on how you treated Maria...I know you are human too, so I am trying to be somewhat diplomatic with you, and hopefully respectful. Who knows, perhaps she would have joined you, and you two could have had some fun together! Mark, you missed an opportunity guy! I almost decided to write a separate blog about this, but restrained myself, so I could be respectful without humiliating you...I know we all have our moments.

Maybe next time, Mark...who knows what opportunity awaits?

Is this a weather blog or is it a "whether" blog?

Like whether or not Spitzer and Wells should be prosecuted?

Personally, I don't find prostitution or pot smoking to be a legal issue, but a personal moral one. Moreso, a question of health. As long as the joint (double entendre) don't explode in your mouth, it shouldn't hurt you.

But, the reality is that they're both illegal and, as citizens, we have a right and duty to obey the law and change any that don't make sense. I find it odd that we hold politicians to certain moral standards, yet allow them to trample all over the laws they are supposed to defend. *shrug*

...and now, back to the weather...(bring up Mark on Camera 3).

Hey blogger pals...as usual, I love your stuff. Mystere: don't fall for the beautiful smile and the hot look buddy!!! Maria used all her female television charms to invade your mind :) and it has worked!!
Of course I have actually stayed late before just to dance on her show at her request so it's not a big deal some nights, but when she's ON the show and won't walk 15 feet over to do the weather!!!!!!! Have a good wkend!! :)

p.s. Changing laws that don't make sense. I like the way u think WordWise. Perhaps that's the answer ;)

Mark,

You are the coolest! I'll take what you said into consideration...by the way, any great gags for April 1st? You do have a great sense of humor, and I remember some of the ones you pulled off years ago. The floating head was one of the funniest years ago.
