I've already outright stolen a post from AmericaBlog.com recently (fully attributed, of course), so this time, only a short comment, and then the headline. I'll let you click over there to read the story. And believe me, you'll want to read the story.
First a comment. This constant GOP sex scandal carousel is in effect a catch-22 situation. The Republicans campaign strenuously on an anti-gay, "family values" platform. This causes people who share their ideology (particularly the 25% who seem hard-wired to be Republicans) to be outwardly straight. And by straight, I don't only mean heterosexual. I mean the mythical, idyllic morally straight.
Problem is, most people don't fit this strict definition. You raid anybody's closet, you're likely to come out with something that might need a little explanation. So these people with urges to cheat, to see hookers, to get kinky, to get it on with their own sex--these people have to suppress those urges wayyy down. Kinda like priests, need I go on? Yep, that naughtiness comes busting out in inappropriate ways. So the GOP is somewhat complicit in creating the kind of person that gets caught in a sex scandal. Isn't it ironic? Don'tcha think?
That said, this one went way over the line from inappropriate, to criminal. Allegedly.
