Tomorrow is the debut of CNN’s latest attempt to resuscitate its flat-line ratings. This most recent programming attempt is heralded as a public-affairs style show that will feature the fallen former Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, discussing issues of the day with Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker.
In a recent interview with Parade magazine Spitzer described the new show as, “…an opportunity to create persuasive arguments about the direction we should move in as a society.”
Huh? Persuasive arguments from him about the direction we should move in as a society…really? As a refresher, Spitzer resigned from office after it became public that this former public prosecutor was paying high-price prostitutes for sex.
Despite that, I want help him out with some possible topics for his new show.

Here’s a suggestion for Spitzer to consider regarding one societal issue that should be addressed. Since two-thirds of marriages end in divorce, how about supporting the concept of families, marriage and honoring your own marriage vows? That seems to be a pretty good direction for society in general.
Or how about, upholding anti-prostitution laws that still exist in most of the states in this country? That might be a good societal goal.
