Something that has always bothered me: Moralizing. [View all]

The ClintonBlowJob . . . . it broke NO laws and Clinotn was never a hypocrite about morality. Case closed.

Judy Rhuliani . . . . . and again . . . . and again. No laws broken. Now unelectable and irrelevant. Case closed.

John Edwards . . . . . slime ball of the highest order, but on the moral front, no crime apart from maybe the most common crime of them all - adultery. Worse, of course, his MORAL crime of betraying his dying wife. He is unelectable and detested. Case closed.

DiaperDaveVitter . . . . . Hahahaha. End of story, I think. But he actually broke a law (hired a sex worker). Yeah, it might be possible to see him as a hypocrite, but I don't recall him having more than a pandering connection to morality issues. Case closed.

Eliot Spitzer . . . . nothing to see here, except he, too, broke a law. Morality? Meh. Doesn't even come close to the crimes he was fighting, crimes done by criminals who later brought him down for using a sex worker. Case closed.

Senator Wide Stance . . . . (stentorian tone) "Nasty boy. Nasty, nasty boy." "I am not a homosexual. I have never been a homosexual." ***Hypocrite Alert***

Appalachian Mark Sanford . . . . bad judgement, for sure. No crime. Case closed.

TweetWeiner . . . . stupid and narcissistic, but again, no laws broken. Case closed.

Bob Filner is a whole other story. It appears he may have broken real laws, with real victims. Case NOT closed. Don't call an election or a recall . . . . call the cops!

None of this is helped by amateur moralists who try to convince others any given sexual miscreant guy was a good guy or a bad guy because he somehow got his dick wet. If there is a crime, call the cops. If there isn't, let the voters decide.
