About This Editor: I am a writer. Have been writing for other sites, but expect to do most of my future work HERE! My expertise extends from the esoteric such as burning hydrogen to the unpredictability of the stock market and my writing makes me a jack of all trades and exasperated master of none. I have had some influence over national wildfire and water policy and there are hints of a change in energy policy, BUT as Samuel Goldwyn once said, "A verbal promise is not worth the paper it is written on."

         

When reading recent news stories about the escapades of prominent politicians from New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., it would appear that morals appear to be irrelevant both to the officials in question and to the voters who elected them. Only after the media make whoopee does any one care, it seems.

We have seen how Rudy Giuliani, the anti-pornography crusader, who had to settle for a sixty forty split on content, became hot to trot when it counted. We have witnessed the quick resignation of the Sheriff of Wall Street, one Eliot Spitzer, because he was paying for play, even though he was so ethically pure he could imagine all sorts of ethical problems for his opponents.

James McGreevey, although he resigned from office when he got caught trying to put a boyfriend on the state pay roll, continues to make headlines in a highly contentious divorce from his former wife. His successor, Jon Corzine, also has been criticized for making big loans to a girl friend doing business with the state and then relieving her of any obligation to repay him.

Then there is the former Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Sharpe James, who also seems to have been fond of his mistress.

Back here in New York we now have Governor Spitzer’s replacement, the former Lieutenant Governor, who seems to qualify for the nickname The Luv Guv, confessing to playing the field and possibly forgetting to repay campaign funds that were used to pay for hotel rooms. No wonder politicians are reluctant to embrace the internet as a tool against crime. They have so little respect. Reports of a frat house atmosphere in the Capitol does nothing to allay suspicions that politicians are up to no good.

There is also the question of a free pass for women. Bill Clinton and Eliot Spitzer got around because not only didn’t their wives fulfill their wifely obligations, but they looked the other way for way too long.   They receive all the social benefits of a political wive without fulfilling much in the way of obligations.  What’s worse, the only reason Barack Obama appears to mention morals is that he can make political hay.
The scandals of the past played out in the same cynical way. Wilbur Mills who got caught with an Argentine stripper named Fanne Fox, won re-election and after being stripped of his Ways and Means Chairmanship was replaced by Jim Guy Tucker, a politician who actually went to jail as a result of the White Water scandal.. Dan Rostenkowski, the Illinois representative who played the role of spokesman when Representative Mills lost of his Chairmanship also went to jail.

Senator Obama and his peers would seem to have a double standard to say the least.  How much difference is there between a frat house and Animal House.  NO wonder Christ asked, “He who is without sin.”
