Keep your pants on

Once again another moral crank Republican politician is caught with his pants down, or admits to having his pants down with someone other than his wife. And yet, he is for the sanctity of marriage (as long as it is not his). I am sure his wife will stand by him at a press event and profess that this is a personal issue and they are working to strengthen their marriage.


Sen. John Ensign has admitted to having an affair with a campaign aide who just happens to married to a member of his Senate staff. He is of course like the rest of the religious pant droppers opposed to gay marriage and even civil unions. If one is so interested in protecting marriage than 1. divorce should be illegal, 2. cheating on your wife should be illegal, 3. having an affair with another man's wife should be illegal.

How these hypocrites have any credibility on any of the moral issues of the day escapes me and yet many people listen to them and applaud them for their traditional conservative, pro-family values. Here are some of my favorites

John Ensign
Affair with a married woman
Bill O'Reilly
Sex talk with young female staffer, accused of sexual harassment, one of the foulest mouth on TV
Rush
Drug addiction, 3 or 4 marriages, stopped with big bottle of Viagra while coming home from the Dominican Republic (a well know sex tourism spot). Was he having sex outside of marriage?
Newt
3 marriages, filed for divorce from first wife she was in the hospital with cancer, harsh critic of Clinton marriage issues while having an affair with house staffer and he was Speaker of the House
Sen. David Vitter
On the top of the client list of the DC Madam and known for his passion for wearing diapers
Congressman Robert Bauman
Leader of the anti-gay wing of congress - spent a lot of his taxpayer funded salary on gay hookers. He has since come out and is living as a gay man
Rev. Ted Haggard
Loved him some gay hooker and party drugs
Rev. Jimmy Swaggert
Tried to get hookers to scream OH GOD! in a special up close way.
Rev. Jim Bakker
Loved his secretary a little more than Tammy Faye

More of these fun little tidbits can be found in the book "The Brotherhood of The Disappearing Pants".

I know that there have been plenty of Dems in the same situation and I find them just as awful. Cheating on your spouse is wrong, but they are not out there trying to invade my bedroom or the back seat of your car.
