Parker Spitzer is a great show

[quinnox]

on CNN, I am loving this show. Eliot Spitzer impresses the hell out of me, and they have intelligent and polite discussions with good guests. Even the republican Parker seems reasonable and moderate to me.

1. ... and he's adorable too.

Sorry, couldn't resist - smart as hell, well read, liberal AND good lookin'. A girl can dream ...

2. he does have a lot of charisma

He would make a great candidate for president in the future.

6. Yes. I thought he would make a great president until he made that awful mistake.

He's still young. If he has a second career as a journalist perchance he could then have a second run as a politician. You never know.

7. ... well, he hasn't done anything "worse" than so many ...

... others who are still in office around the country. I personally think he was 'outed' (as it were) because he was getting ready to lay some serious grief on Wall Street and the Fed's cozy dealings, and of course the power behind the curtain always has the dirt on just about everyone they might ever need to keep under control, and they saw the need to play that card with him.

Sure he was a toad to be doing seedy crap in the first place and I don't know if I could forgive him if I were his wife or kids, but he's no less human than anyone else: he just happened to cross the wrong set of folks and they knocked him out of their way.

4. I was hoping he'd get a gig on MSNBC. I didn't know Parker was a Republican.

I only saw them yesterday when the show essentially was following the live action in Chile. I did think that "that woman" didn't seem to be too aware of what was going on, but I'll give her another listen when they really have the show.

5. Kathleen actually wrote a good column

this week...she does every once in a while...other times it's straight right wing talking points...
