The real dirty word

why is the second Spector trial not being televised?

Jami, I couldn't agree with you more. The ONLY time a politician's sex life should be of any interest to us is if he's using tax payer's money for his trysts. As long as the sex is between consenting adults, then it's their business, not ours.

This is just so much hog wash!

The ISSUE(s) of CHARACTER, TRUST and HONESTY are ALL IMPORTANT in anyone who wants to serve in public office!

That IS the NUMBER ONE ISSUE(s)!

The general public is all too aware of the other issues: Economy, war in Iraq, education, job loss, etc... I know, lets have (5) hours a day of national news simply dedicated to informing the general public that the sky is blue and water is wet...

You sound like an Oblama clone; any piece of personal garbage that sticks to this arrogant fool is, of course, a DIVERSION!

Jami Floyd, get a clue… and a degree in journalism!

Yeah Jami, you're right...we shouldn't at all be concerned with these pesky , inconsequential little character issues. Perversion, corruption, arrogance....none of these things have anything to do with the public's right to know, do they?

In many of these cases, such as Kilpatrick's, actual crimes are being committed but you would once again have us look the other way. Get a grip, Jami.

Jami?

How did Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick obstruct justice and assault a police officer while he was in bed?

In my opinion, the desire to obtain public office is de facto proof of a lack of moral character, and anyone who tries is unworthy of a single vote.

Jami, when does character count? Is there such a thing as selective character? I have to say that you do exercise your "right" to stir the pot of discussion. I believe in giving a person the benefit of the doubt, but operating in a "public" office has "public" consequences and the catagory does not matter. Question: if you hire a person to do a job for you and their character takes them to a place to prove they don't have proper acceptable character what would you suggest happen to that hired person? The same should apply to a politician – hired to work for the public and they get a say.....

You're making excuses for the man because of his/your race. His obvious lack of character couldn't be more material here.

His utter lack of character is completely relevant. Your "last word" on the other hand is completely partial, absurd and irrelevant.

FYI K. Kilpatrick is being investigated along with several members of his family and several "close" friends for corruption, taking bribes and misuse of funds. It's about time!!! It has been a standing joke through his term in office about his antics now the government has finally called them on it. I hope they all get what they deserve.

P.S. I agree with Lyn.

Diana Rundel-
