re: #19 Obdicut

There’s two elements of hypocrisy floating around this story:

One is Newt having any chance of becoming the head of the party of family values.

The other is how much people pretend that cheating is a relatively rare phenomenon, and that someone who does it is irredeemable and can never be trusted again.

I basically have Dan Savage’s attitude towards it.

Newt was lambasting Clinton for having an affair while Newt was actually having an affair. And I’m sure many of those who are lambasting Newt for having had an affair have had affairs of their own.

Obdicut,

Maybe true, but it doesn’t mean that its okay to have an affair.
