My comment on Elliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker

Today, Rush talked about the Parker Spitzer CNN program that's supposed to start on October 4.

And Rush made fun of Spitzer - as he always does - for being Client #9. But it's interesting...Dick Morris, who is a frequent guest on the Sean Hannity show, also patronized a prostitute - although perhaps not to the extent that Spitzer did. But Morris' career isn't over, should Spitzer's be? I mean - as a governor, sure, but does that mean he's not allowed to be a columnist of some kind? Will most men scorn him - most men who have themselves used prostitutes? Women might not like him - after all, he's bald and doens't look very handsome - but who knows.

Anyway, what I was struck with is that the clip Rush played of their show had Spitzer making the same kind of complaint about Obama that Rush had done at the beginning of Obama's tenure, that he jumped from subject to subject instead of solving one thing before going on to another thing.

And then Parker came in and in essence defended Rush!

And yet he has nothing good to say about them.

And then they pair Spitzer with Kathleen Parker, who is a conservative columnist, approved conservative, rubber stamp Washington Post conservative because she attacks conservatives. So now they're a new team and it's time to preview this show. They put 'em on last night on John King's America. Parker Spitzer is the name of the show, premieres October the 4th on CNN, and during a discussion about Obama, Parker and Spitzer have this exchange. This is what everybody's waiting for to debut October 4th on CNN.

SPITZER: This is the issue of biting too many apples simultaneously. President Reagan, who was an amazing communicator, also had a very linear communication strategy, one issue at a moment. He was brilliant at it.

PARKER: Right.

SPITZER: And he didn't deal with health care and then foreign policy and then the Middle East and then let's get the Olympics and then a beer summit, all these other things, and health care. And so all these things that distract --

PARKER: And not to mention attacking people who aren't even part of the Hill. I mean going after Rush Limbaugh. Yes, he is an influential radio host, but he's not part of the Republican Party to the extent that the president has suggested he is.

SPITZER: Maybe the problem is that we, the public, need to cut him some slack.

RUSH: Who, me or Obama? That's your new team on CNN. Those of you anchors and reporters in the smaller media markets in the country who just -- I mean, they have their dreams. Their dreams include working at CNN, and now what must they all think? And that exchange, that is a promo. This is supposed to make everybody want to tune in on October 4th to watch "Parker Spitzer" on CNN.
