The Adultery is the Least of the Offense

A U.S. Senator from Nevada confesses to an extramarital affair.

Adultery is not the part that bothers me the most about the Senator's conduct. Rather, it is the blatant hypocrisy demonstrated by how the Nevada Senator demanded in years past that Bill Clinton resign over his affair. This is typical. When Sen. Craig was arrested in a men's restroom, he too had been one of the senators who had condemned other leaders for their sexual conduct.

Being judgmental about sex is fine, as long as you do not have functioning gonads. Castrate yourself first, and then you can go about judging others from your pure and celibate station in life. That is my advice to politicians everywhere.

These conservative Republicans seem to have a real difficulty in examining themselves and becoming aware of their own actions and the consequences of their actions. Being self-aware is the hallmark of a political liberal. In fact, the entire philosophy of liberalism places emphasis upon self-awareness and self-realization. Conservatives favor the dark forces of repression, stagnation, and ignorance.
