Title: Politicians and public morality
Post by: Cain on December 17, 2004, 12:31:43 PM
This is a story from the UK that has been brewing for a few days and has got me rather annoyed.  As you may know, our Home Office Minister David Blunkett has quit over an affair and subsequent abuse of position to get his lover's nanny a fast tracked visa to stay here.  WHY???  Quite frankly, this disgusts me, that he has gone because he has become, and I quote, "an embarassment" to our Government.

Never mind that he passed a criminal set of "laws" (the 2001 Terrorism Act, whereby I can be arrested and imprisoned without trial because I hold an Aussie passport).  Never mind that violent crime has risen by 12% over the last year alone, that the Police force have become glorified traffic wardens with too much paper work, that he passes more maligned directives than the Supreme Soviet (the ASBO is a good one if you wish to search for that) and he waits 2 years after 9/11 to increase the size of the Security Services.  Oh no, he had an affair and caried out a relatively minor abuse of power (chances were the nanny would get her visa anyway, it would just have taken longer) and became "embarassing" and so had to go.

If I met a politician who's only crime was an affair, I'd probably buy him a drink.  Interesting how this is meant to be the publics servant, and yet he goes over a privte indescretion (trust me, more was made of the affair than the visa).  Public politics sucks.  Blair only gets rid of people when they become embarassing, and for a lawyer like himself with nearly no shame to start wit, that takes a long time (normally at least 6 months after everyone else wants the sod gone).  Argh!

This guy went because of an affair the same way Kerik went because of his nanny. They don't want to tell you the truth.

There's no such thing as morality.  It's one of those words like love and truth - it only means what people want it to mean, so the word itself is meaningless.  It's a tool of manipulation, and not just on the level of politics.

Psh. The nanny had nothing to do with it. Everyone knows that Kerik stepped down because Trogdor got to him first.

Yes, but what did they write?

"LOL" isn't much of an endorsement, after all.

I'm told that there is a piece of wall in the ladies' bathroom of the Crocodile (Seattle's version of the Whiskey, or CBGB's) dedicated to me that is occasionally and continually being added to, but I have no knowledge of this, save for the first 2 lines, which I wrote myself in a shameless act of self-promotion....

seems to have worked....

I watched the Late Late Show the other night.  Susan Saranden and Tim Robin's were hosting, and Gore Vidal was the main geust.  They said something very intelligent "Democrats get in trouble for sex, Republicans get in trouble for making illegal money."
