Hank, I agree that it happens to everyone, and I agree that anyone who does it is a putz.

However, the Religious Right wing of the Republican Party is happy to tell you, and campaign on, their faith and adherence to their somewhat Puritanical beliefs...and somehow have convinced approximately 50% of the electorate that they somehow deserve special treatment because of it, especially if said treatment includes votes and the right to be assholes to anyone they think isn't living their "pure" life.

Because of that, it does matter that it's another Republican taking the fall...though, to be honest, I doubt that the RWWJ's will ever hold them accountable for it, or at least demand that they stop claiming the high moral ground...check this very thread for the finger pointing, defense of the indefensible, and apologetic projection coming from a few of their supporters here.

Fish on...

Todd
