Are you sinless, Miss Grabar, and therefore entitled to cast the first stone?

Sanford strayed. Many men stray. He shouldn’t have; that’s beyond my power to dispute. But this wasn’t exactly on a par with Bill Clinton’s sodomitic relationship with Monica Lewinsky, now, was it?

I await the day conservatives and Republican partisans admit that, however high our standards, each and every one of us will occasionally fail to meet them. It’s the way God made us. Meanwhile, I remind you of the Eleventh Commandment:

“Thou shalt speak no ill of a fellow Republican.” — Ronald Reagan.

…and reflect on how the Democrats routinely circle the wagons around such scum as Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Mel Reynolds, Gerry Studds, Jesse Jackson, Eliot Spitzer, Jim McGreevey, et cetera ad nauseam infinitam.
