http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/23/spitzer-parker-to-host-primetime-cnn-show/?fbid=e7DH3epdF9z&hpt=T2 even look at the tone of the article, they're completely serious!


As a veteran print journalist, I am appropriately respectful of the challenges posed by the medium, said Parker. But I'm thrilled by the opportunity to discuss the issues that matter to me and that aren't heard often enough on televisionin a conversation with one of the nation's most brilliant, fearless and original thinkers. With Eliot Spitzer as my co-host, Wall Street and Main Street will finally meet. It can't possibly be boring.
Spitzer, a Democrat who resigned as governor in March 2008 after acknowledging visiting a prostitute, is a well respected political mind and a take-no-prisoners prosecutor who has been often referred to as the Sheriff of Wall Street.


LOL, they're completely serious!!! not a hint of sarcasm or humor in that release! :lol::lol: :laugh::laugh:

If you are poor and get caught doing something, they throw you away and the odds are against putting your life back together even if you play by the rules and everything.

If you are rich you get to keep your job while the gulf of Mexico dies of chemical burns from crude oil. If you are a politician or a pentagon stooge who is forced out of office in disgrace, you get a cable TV show! Hooray for Ollie North and this guy and the Watergate guy on FOX!

It is funny! Ok, maybe I understand not everybody fully understands it, and I know the title sounds pretty ..well, you know how. But please don't start flaming just because you're a little disappointed.
