Michael Vick was sentenced today, to 23 months in the ole slammer and he deserves it. But once he gets out, he'll need to rehabilitate that reputation and I have just the advice he needs to give his team of makeover artists. Someone that knows Michael, please forward this to his jail cell.
=================================================================
Would it shock you if I made the claim that Michael Vick is a great man and a great football player? Sure, he is a standout in his field and deserving of the name "superman". This amazing individual rose from life in the projects, the son of a shipyard worker, to become a top overall draft pick from Virginia Tech in 2001. His style of play is unparalleled as he combines a rocket-like arm with the agility and speed of a gazelle. Do you know how many records this guy has already set in his short NFL career? Take a look at his stats and see if you're not impressed by all of his magnaminous accomplishments, this man does his job well that's for sure.
Of course, there is just this little thing about engaging in barbaric behavior that is all too "al Qaeda-like" with man's best friend! Although this is very alarming, I say that we give Mr. Vick a "pass". After all, we were taught in the late 1990's that it is not how you live your personal life, it is how you do your job that matters. And Michael Vick does his job quite well, right?
President Clinton, although not growing up in the projects but came awfully close, rose to do so many wonderful things as the governor of Arkansas and President of the United States. I can't name any of them except pushing though NAFTA and GATT (which shipped our jobs overseas) but I'm sure there's something that escapes me at the moment. When he committed the reprehensible acts of adultery and perjury, our media sold us that masterful line of brainwashing and 1,000's of Americans digested it hook, line and sinker! So, now that our society has set the "Clinton Standard" of personal conduct, we must apply it equally in the future to all of those people who have issues of their own. Michael Vick will be the benefactor of living under the "Clinton Standard" and I'll bet he loves the former president for it!
In my world (and I'm an animal lover by the way), Michael Vick is a reprehensible scoundrel for getting caught up in this whole mess but I was in the minority with regard to President Clinton's pecadillos in the "Oral" office. Unlike most of the dunderheads out there who drank the media and Clinton "spin machine kool-aid", I never bought the "its all about sex" line, nor did I buy the "its just how you do your job" line. This is liberal psychobabble designed to confuse people about ethical behavior that should be demanded of ALL PEOPLE, especially those in the public eye or in positions of trust, leadership and power such as politicians, judges and police officers.
So, while some of us condemn Mr. Vick for his behavior that is nothing but barbaric, the not-so-critical thinkers out there who buy the media deception can continue to live in their world of NFL player idolotry and President Clinton admiration for that matter! You see, for some of us out here in the REAL America, the mark of a man is what he does when nobody is looking. This is
