— Ace Television moments. Who the hell cares?
On Twitter -- at that link, at Twitchy -- there's a lot of debate over whether his tears are real or not. Conservatives think he's faking; liberals, of course, are quite sure that we "can't know his heart" and can't tell if his tears are real (with the stealth suggestion that if we can't know his heart we have to assume the question in his favor).
But who cares either way? I happen to think he really got misty. So what? Even hardened criminals will cry on occasion as they wallow in self-pity. Crying (or nearly crying) in response to major embarrassment in front of many people is a inborn response. Even psychopaths and sociopaths have the ability to feel their own pain.
I'm not saying Spitzer is either of those. (Only his victims can tell us that.) I'm just saying to credit this as saying anything at all about his sincerity or his character or his changes is asinine.
Elliot Spitzer is sad that his once-glittering career was derailed by a serious prostitution scandal and that he was publicly humiliated in front of the world. Who would not be?
Crying over someone else's misfortune does tell us something about the crier -- that he has a level of empathy for others. Crying about one's own misfortune tells us nothing except that one still has a heartbeat and a functioning limbic system.
We should sooner argue about whether or not Spitzer was breathing and whether or not his cells were successfully employing the Krebs cycle.
This is part of the thesis of that book I read about Television Culture -- television invites, or perhaps demands, a focus on the trivial. And then we argue over the trivial, because that's what television has put on our intellectual menu for the day.
And self-pity and embarrassment is not the same as contrition and certainly not the same as redemption. But television does things simply, and has taught us that the simple thing (crying on TV) is equal to the difficult things (contrition and redemption).

Hang down your head and cry.
Hang down your head E, Spitzer.

We should have an Acquittal Meter for George Zimmerman. A meter that weighs the evidence and testimonies and also takes into account the daily measure of stupidity of the American people.
For instance, this 'poem' moves the needle on the Acquittal Meter a bit closer to 0.
added: Eliot Spitzer and Weiner running for elected office also moves the needle closer to 0.

If the tears were fake, he's a manipulative sociopath.
If they were real, he's a self-pitying nancy-boy.
I loathe our political class.

Since we're on a new thread now, I am going to link to my comment on the previous thread because I think i came up with some really fun and exciting new misogynist insults and I want to share.

And to tie that to the content of THIS post, if Elliot Spitzer's vagina was a gun, it would be full of sand and therefore useless.
Or something.

He's a narcissist and he needs to be in power over others.
IIRC, his legal career involved sleazy, hypocritical, and abuse of power tactics to get convictions. Typical for a sociopath to destroy others to gain more power and fame for himself.

Professional (whores) at least give you value for you money, and you can choose not to engage their services.
Political whores (like Spitzer and Weiner to name only a few) give you negative value for your money, and are only too glad to employ the power of the state to force you to engage their services!

Yeh, the same Wall Street whose tax dollars keep NYC from turning into Detroit
"Sophisticated" lefty NYers of course will swallow that faster than a call girl who's double parked. They fall for that bullshit every time, not knowing that if he actually did get in Goldman Sachs face, their personal Senator Schmuckie would be on the phone to the mayor in a heartbeat with the ominous "you do know that federal cash you've been counting on is still tied up in committee, right?"
I predict that both Weiner and Spitzer are both elected by comfortable margins after a few "redemption" puff pieces by their holy oracle, The NY Times

The reason Weiner/Spitzer can continue nearly unblemished by sex scandals is because they were sex scandals. Rather than being an episode of embarrassment to the liberal establishment, liberals are tickled that the Right is offended.
That's the way they see it. We're hung up about sex so Weiner/Spitzer shoves it up our asses. They really hate us a lot.

Everyone is about social skills - but really what social skills are is something to make up for poor emotional sensitivity.
Women in particular need to work on developing emotional sensitivity to go with their enormous emotional strength. Strength without sensitivity - in any thing - is destructive. Here is an exercise: instead of trying to get men to "show me your feelings" work on reading the small indications of emotion that men do show. Just as physical sensitivity is important in the physical world - emotional sensitivity is key in the emotional world. Ladies, there is a lot going on and a rich emotional world that you are missing.

Even if you wanted the fig-leaf of "we tried" the correct way to do that was not have the trial at all. Then you can say all kinds of mean things about Z "allegedly" and never have to back them up.

It makes sense if you look at how much political pressure was brought to bear on this case. There's no way the gov't was going to allow Z to walk without a trial. This is the local DA's response.

I would think the state is purposely throwing this case except for one thing - their own careers. Marcia Harding and Chris Darden didn't do too well after the OJ trial.

Okay, masterminds. What's the equation that determines change in velocity?
Change in velocity equals starting velocity minus ending velocity. Actually the correct force equation is force equals mass times acceleration - where acceleration is the change in velocity (see above) divided by the amount of time it takes to change.

That means none of the Lefty Governors amendments to it. It also means concealed carry in Chicago. Boom! Eventual end of thug politics there. Thug politics, at its core, requires union goons to shove people around and intimidate them - much harder to do that in places where the intended victim might be armed. The idea for gun control originally came from Unions - who wanted effective goons - around 1900.
