QotD

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 11:06am on 2008-06-06

[Sorry about the repeat. The QotD posting script's invocation yesterday never completed (so I'll have to go see which sites it never got to when I'm more awake). Since archiving the QotD and putting all-but-the-just-posted-bit of the queue back in place for the next day are the last two steps of the script, it ran this morning with the queue file in the same state as it had been in yesterday morning. At some point I need to make the script better at dealing with failures and retries. Here's the quote that was supposed to have been posted five and a half hours ago...]

"The whole Elliot Spitzer debacle happened during my blogging hiatus, but someone wanted to know my opinion of it. Well, my opinion on scandals of this nature has remained fairly consistent throughout my adult, political life: I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT OLD WHITE GUYS HAVING SEX SO STOP TRICKING ME INTO DOING SO! I don't want to think about Spitzer having sex, or Larry Craig having sex, or Gray Davis having sex, or Jerry Falwell having sex, or Bill Clinton having something that was not strictly sex pursuant to the legal definition provided in statute §§21050, etc. I don't care who or what they are having sex with because thinking about this aspect of the sex would involve thinking about the sex, which, as I have stated previously, I do not wish to do. Please, can we just assign a taxpayer-funded hooker to every member of congress to ensure that these liaisons become so routine that they are no longer newsworthy?" -- Matthew Baldwin (Defective Yeti), 2008-05-07

The thing that irked me about Spitzer wasn't the extramarital sex, it was the prostitute angle. I'm slightly distrustful of people who seem to be on the side of truth, justice, peace, order and good government and yet think they somehow are entitled to purchase the use of another human's body in that way. I mean, seriously; the guy was a political celebrity, and could have picked up a bevy of political starfuckers if he'd wanted to, but he had to go for the privilege-and-power trip that comes with using prostitutes?

I'm not articulating this very well, but it seems to me that if you are at once trying to set yourself up as a liberal and yet still paying money for sex, you have some serious character defects.
