How slow of a news cycle is it today? And since when did MySpace become a news source?

No one here has yet weighed in on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's shameful resignation. I'll do so now, but I'll make it quick: The guy trashed video games like Grand Theft Auto for their portrayal of violence and prostitution, and then he gets busted with a whore. I don't know how much more needs to be said about that. But it must be a slow news cycle, because even though the story is as dead as Saddam, look who's on the front page of CNN.com!


Why, it's the prostitute who would've been his 'escort!' She was in court on MONDAY, and today is Thursday, but the media is still milking this for all it's worth (no pun intended). She didn't say much to the press, so what do they do? They quote her MySpace page (which I won't link to ... I hate that fucking site). Who is that desperate to know about a whore who almost blew the governor? I read it to make sure I wasn't missing anything, and I'll save you, dear readers, the trouble of doing the same. She came from an abusive, broken home, and went to the city to make it big. Now, she's a whore. Not exactly Pulitzer Prize material.

Sorry, CNN. Fox News has this on their front page too, but do you really want to be like them? Spitzer resigned. She's a complete nobody. The story is over. Dead. Let it go.

That is SO a prison tat.

BTW, I saw Chris Wallace from Fox News on our local Fox morning show today. The anchor asked him why they aren't going to talk about Spitzer on their Sunday morning show this week, and Wallace said, 'What else is there to say?' So, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks it's over as a story now.

I don't see anything worth $4K there. Unless she has a magic fairy hidden up her hooha.

Hey, quit bagging on her. She's putting the "pro" back in prostitute.

Yesterday, I saw Dennis Hof solicit her services through the media to work at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch for $250k/year. I don't know if it was Faux News or CNBC, but that is some funnys shit.
We love whores.

And now today, there's front-page stuff on CNN.com about how they found her Girls Gone Wild footage. Apparently, old white men in news boardrooms want to see her tits.

I have nothing against tits. In fact, it's quite to the contrary. I don't even have a problem with whores. It's a simple supply-and-demand issue, and are we not a capitalist country? Of course, there's the exploitation and abuse that usually goes with that, so maybe if it were regulated, those things would decrease. But that's another post for a different day.

Now, where was I? Oh yeah. My issue isn't with whores. It's with attention whores. And I can't tell who's the biggest attention whore ... this 'call girl,' or the media.

My vote is for the latter.

Apparently, no one else has shit to add lately. Neither do I, unless you wanna hear rants about the game industry.
