Spinning Spitzer
I have not and will not comment on the Eliot Spitzer story, most likely. However, of all that I’ve heard Bill Maher has the best take on the “why” of it all.

- Obama: Uganda Anti-Gay Bill “Odious”
February 4, 2010 | 5:01 pmOK. I realize it’s just a statement about proposed legislation another country, but George W. Bush would never have condemned the Uganda anti-gay bill as ‘odious’. Let alone as a prayer breakfast.
- You First, Sarah
February 2, 2010 | 5:19 pmThis is rich. Sarah Paling wants President Obama to fire White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for referring to colleagues in a closed-door meeting as “f—ing retarded.” Please, lady. Look Rahm’s an asshole, granted. But when did you renounced the veiled and not-so-thinly-veiled racism so flagrantly on display at your rallies? When you weren’t busy ignoring it or stirring it up? Tell ya what, Sarah. You go first.

Bravo. Good for you.
Hmmm, I dunno about that. (And I’m saying that as a fan of Bill Maher.) Mostly because he starts right out by saying that married people are desperate for sex, but actual studies show that married couples have sex more consistently and frequently than single people do! And in the comments section a bunch of dudes are blaming Spitzer’s wife/their own wives for being frigid. Ugh. Again, actual studies show that among heterosexual married couples, the man is more likely to decline sex than the woman.
I’m all for the “he just wanted to have sex!” explanation, but the way that Maher frames it – and the way that his commenters are reacting to it – makes me very squeamish.
