Glad it's over
I'm happy Gayor West took himself out of the spotlight quickly. Spokane has enough problems without a daily eeeeewwwwwwfest on national news. Also, I felt obligated to write something about it, and I was running out of ways to avoid unpleasant double-entendres. (The recall process is long and hard....)
I make no claims of wholesomeness -- in fact, my mind is usually in the gutter.
But I must have skipped Let It All Hang Out 101 during The Sixties. Never have been comfortable with constant discussion of sexual matters. All of TV and radio is consumed with it. Right-wing talkers [with the notable exception of Rush] talk endlessly about kinky sex with an attitude of lip-smacking prurient disapproval. Left-wing talkers like Howard Stern talk endlessly about kinky sex with an attitude of lip-smacking prurient approval. In the ratings game, attitude isn't the point, of course; subject matter is everything. ¶ 12:15 PM
