Ok, I'm back to being the angry Black man screamin' through your screen! I'm mad, no, I'm seething about this issue. Alright, right to the nittiest of the grit, WHY THE FUCK ARE WE STILL TAKING ABOUT GOVONER SPITZER?!? But more importantly why is everyone trying to absolve this woman Ashley or Tricia or whatever, of all blame and responsibility?!?!
So, I'm watching my daily TiVo recording of The View (that's right, I said it... the VIEW) and they are talking about the "Spitzer Scandal," again. They were condemning this man with NO remorse for doing something that should NOT have been a surprised for ANYONE. I mean lets look back at the history of men, really people... I'm not saying that he should be proud of it, I'm not saying it was right, I'm not even saying it's excusable. What I AM saying is that if we look at things like Jerry Springer, Maury, Jenny Jones (during her run), and even Ricky Lake (towards the end), we see these redneck, hill billy, trailer park, hood rat, project ass people making fools of themselves with the SAME situation [man dates woman; woman has baby w/man; man sleeps with woman’s sister/cousin/roommate/co-worker/best friend; man and woman make asses of themselves on TV]. We all watch these shows, we all expect exactly what happens and no body is indicted or wrapped up in "scandal." They are just some scalawag type people and that's that. We go on about our daily lives and men go on living and women go on making media induced, sweeping judgments like "all men are dogs" so-on and so-forth. Now, with that said, what makes ANYONE think that politicians are ANY different, at least in the fundamental basics of "maness," from these men on television or in real life for that matter?! He is a man with more money so, ok, his ho's gonna cost a little more, look a little nicer (not like Rhaneaita from up the street with one canine missing and a bad weave), and be "well spoken"
COMPLETE SIDE NOTE::: I wrote on a friend’s Facebook wall a few days ago and she wrote back "I'm impressed by your vocabulary." In essence saying "You speak so well." Really, I mean for real?!? I thought to myself, "You must not have any Black friends." LMAO! Just for the record though, I'm not offended. I think she was just trying to be nice in that awkward way that white people can sometimes be around Black folks. I mean I must admit, if I was white I wouldn't even talk to Black people. That would be too much pressure, lol. All-in-all, I just thought it was hilarious... ok, aaaannnnnndddddddddddd
We're back*
Another thing…. Now I know what all you ladies are going to say "Omg, I can't believe you said that!?" "How dare you be so machismo and chauvinistic in this day and age?!" blah blah blah... Just for the record EVERY man thought this when they showed the pictures of the "woman in question" (I'm not going to say her name. I don't want to give her ANYMORE hits on google). But yeah, I mean lets be practical here. Have you SEEN Mrs. Spitzer?!?! I mean she's nothing to look at. She's one smile line and a crows foot away from being that guy in the "You Don't Always Die From Tabacco" ad. So you going to tell me that nobody saw that coming, this man controls one of the most, excuse me, THE most high profile state in the country, has a stressful day EVERY day, you KNOW Mrs. Spitzer isn't really getting it like that. Let’s be real here. I'm not saying it's right but I'm just saying people don't expect that much from priest in terms of sexual fortitude and self control but the governor is supposed to be a saint? This man has the resources of an entire state government at his hands and almost an unlimited ability to cover his actions! I mean I've seen ray-ray from up the block do more with less, ok people! I'm not saying let's excuse the man. I'm just saying lets be fair. Nothing he did was crazy! He didn't kill anyone. In the spirit of a great comedian, "when this girl was going to suck the Govs dick. Mrs. Spitzer should have already been down there taking care of business" lol. Ok that was a bit wrong on my part to say. But do you at least get the point... It's just not that big a deal, really. Let's just call a spade a spade; not call a spade a spade then BLOW THE SPADE TO PEICES, BURY IT, LET IT ROT, and BLOW IT UP AGAIN!!
I did NOT forget about the Govs. Call Girl (from now on to be called GCG). Why does everyone feel she is such a victim??!!?? On the View they clearly said that she is the victim. They were starting to question her motives, and rightfully so, then they stopped and back tracked like "wait, let's not look into why she's slobbing nobs for cash! Let's just look at the governor," who, by the way, is SURELY not her only client, hummm... think about that. This girl is 22 or close to that. When does that make you NOT a responsible adult or at least an adult responsible for their actions. This girl is SO not a victim by ANY means. If anything she's a benefactor! Let's look at the arrangement here. She sets a few nuts on her chin, high profile nuts mind you, and now she's getting record deals, lucrative offers for all sorts of TV shows, magazine spreads, interviews, ect, she's has relative stardom, all just from taking a few to the head so-to-speak (lol, that was a pretty good one, lol). Shall we look at the former Gov, he lost his job, his respect, his wife most likely (I mean she'll stay with him in form, but in the reality of their marriage, that shit is a WRAP) and now he's being seen as some quasi sexual predator, which I think is unwarranted, GCG was completely of age. Which brings me back to the original point. In what way is this girl a victim?!? That is the real question. I would like to see some comments about why she is a victim. I know I have a few "feminist" readers out there that I'm sure have an answer (UBfeminist, Sophia, Mona and all those "anonymous" commentators).
To wrap this all up; Gov. Spitzer didn't do anything worth damn near a month and change of CONSTANT news coverage. There was no surprise there. How about we focus on the egregiousness of "Congestion Pricing," the proverbial slap in the face of these erroneous reasons for MTA fair hikes, and a State budget that doesn't even BEGIN to address poorly funded schools, horrible health care, and a neglected aging population. All the while we are building a billion dollar baseball stadium, and pumping billions of dollars into the SYSTEMATIC gentrification of areas of the last affordable places to live. How about we focus on that for a bit and leave the person in charge of it alone so the motherfucker can concentrate. I mean shit, if getting some head on a yacht will help figure out a better budget for the declining pubic school systems and get us some community programs that are actually useful, Mrs. Sptizer might have to take one for the team on this one... lol.
Furthermore, we should NOT absolve this woman of responsibility. Prostitution is a joint venture. For all purposes it's a business transaction. She was selling something and he bought it. There was no theft involved. All he did was pay for SERVICES RENDERED. Moreover, he's not even being prosecuted for prostitution, he's being prosecuted under the "Man Act" (that's the REAL name people. I didn't just make that up) for transporting the pussy across state lines... I digress, all I'm saying is... let's put the blame where it belongs, and that's on both of them equally. If it were drugs for example, we would be sending the DEALER to jail and condemning them and giving the BUYER all sorts of outs, and redeeming qualities (i.e. sending them to detox, rehab, explaining away their reasons for turning to drugs) but with this it's conspicuously all about the person buying and the SELLER is the victim???
Ok, thank you all for listening. I look forward to the hate mail. ;-)

Media is a social force that controls what we see. They choose sides, taint our opinions, and tell us what to think as opposed to giving us facts to let us form our own opinions.
ReplyDeleteUltimately, Amerians are madly in love with drama and scandals, so of course that's what the media will cover.
And if the media covered all the things that "inconvience" new yorkers, maybe we'd come up with something like... lets say a boycott and that wouldn't sit too pretty with the city who supports the media. Besides the media will portray these retarded hikes as something we cannot control. Also, MTA thinks they are slick and implement the hike during the spring, and during a statewide scandal that they know will get more coverage than the hike.
On your side note, you cant say anything because you said the same shit to me yesterday.
AND the woman in question, sure she isnt the victim but she isnt as guilty as the man who paid for her ass. I cant blame her, shit who else do you know makes FOUR GRAND for sucking some dick?
And I will end with a joke said by a drag queen from Buffalo:
The Governor didn't go to his wife for sex because she was a SPITZER not a SWALLOWER.
I don't really care about the pussy Spitzer's getting until he embezzles taxpayers money and then ironically gets caught under a stipulation of the Patriot Act that HE pushed for. HA!
ReplyDeleteBut prostitution is the oldest trade in the world. Men and women participate, and this world needs to shut up and realize that we need to legalize prostitution. Offer it some degree of safety, protection for those involved AND who are searching for this sort of companionship, unionize it, offer sick pay and insurance, etc. Prostitution being illegal is where everyone's getting caught up - but who the fuck cares? French President Sarkozy had a bitter and public divorce battle whilst running, still managed to win the election, dated slut-face Carla Bruni, married aforementioned slut-face after one month of dating, and the French people are yawning about it because THEY DON'T GIVE A FUCK. Most of them didn't even like him anyway, but they're just chilling with their own sex lives and prostitutes, minding their own damned business.
Also, there's nothing misogynist about seeking the company of a prostitute. There IS something misogynist about treating said prostitute like a punching bag, verbally abusing her, and/or not respecting that she's making a living giving you head at that moment. The way you treat women is with respect, no matter what, and if you can do that while coming on a prostitute's face, then you're merely exercising what you've paid for.

O.k once again I’m writing this as work so I’m doing so in a hurry. That being said please excuse the typo’s and misspelled words…To start I must say for such an angry blog I was quite amused… but any on with the point… I agree that Spitzer’s actions shouldn’t really warrant any surprise from anyone. He’s a politician, since when are they honest about EVERYTHING they do? That includes the legal shit. They should prosecute the man just like any other man would be prosecuted and move onto more important things. This is starting to turn into “Who’s Anna Nicole’s baby daddy” all over again… only this time with politics. I asked the same question on both scenarios … Are they still talking about that Shit??? Moving onto point number two the GCG should be held accountable for her actions, she was wrong too. The only way she can try to claim that she is innocent and the victim in this situation is that she’s mentally incapable of making an informed correct decision. In other words she’d have to be damn near retarded not to know that a- sexual relations of any kind with a married man is just wrong … and b- getting paid for said sexual act/relation is illegal (well pain in her case but still illegal). To add to that seeing this woman treated as a victim I see as unfair. She knew what she was doing and should be held accountable for it. In this case no one is innocent. It’s unfortunate that she’s a prostitute, but she was doing what she needed to do… I guess. As for Spitzer I don’t think his actions should be dismissed or explained by his gender. That’s generalizing all men and relegating them all to the same behavior. I like to hope (as slim a hope as that may be) that not all men are the same. Even though in a fit of anger I may claim they are, in truth they are not. Getting back to my main answer yes I think both GCG and Spitzer should be punished according to the law like any other person would be… no scratch that like a black person would be. That should give them a sense of equality. Lol. Lastly I have to agree with Sophia in saying who really gives a fuck who sleeps with who? If you choose to do whatever with who ever and you are in a position like Spitzer then just don’t use tax money!!!
