What is right versus what is popular?

OK so I was thinking about politics, as I often do, more specifically American politics, and came across a new development that causes confusion.

Eliot Spitzer, the former Governor of New York, has recently become half of a television duo, nicknamed ''Parker Spitzer.'' It sounds a bit like Regis and Kelly but nonetheless, CNN has given him a spot on the prestigious network to host a ''round table'' discussion with guests, etc. While I'm sure Parker and Spitzer will rival the four ladies on ''The View,'' I will be missing this show. I love Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs and Lester Holt, but Eliot Spitzer just doesn't speak to me.

Is it possible that it is due to his highly publicised affair two years ago, or is it something else? Wolf, Lou and Lester haven't had affairs, that we know of, and I don't mind watching them. They just appear so professional on television and have done a good job keeping their personal life closed off to the masses.

I will be interested to see how the ratings are affected by Spitzer's former love life. It is quite possible that no one will care and watch the two with adoration and interest.

Here's hoping...
