New York gets no respect

[Midnight Mike]

This took place at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner

Sanjaya Malakar, the shy, slender, 17-year-old "American Idol" reject, was at his table when a tall, middle-aged man stopped by to ask for an autograph. The boy's hosts, from People magazine, tried to shoo him away.

"We are trying to let him eat," they explained.

The man protested: "But I'm the governor of New York."

And so Eliot Spitzer got his autograph. It was that kind of night. It always is.

When you can't recognize the governor of one of the coolest place in America, go bash yourself over the head with a rock.

I bet if you showed a picture of Spitzer to most New Yorkers they'd be clueless.

Point taken.

I bet if you showed a picture of Spitzer to most New Yorkers they'd be clueless.

None the less, that's still pretty sad.

I think it is even more sad that someone who has a reason to be known and a purpose in this country and the media was out asking for the autograph of a 17 year old obnoxious twit with NOTHING to offer the country or state.
