Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok.  Lemme get this straight.

Sen. David Vitter, Louisiana, Sen. John Ensign, Nevada, Gov. Mark Sanford, S. Carolina — what do these gentlemen and Sen. Stanley have in common?  They are sanctimonious, self-satisfied “family-values” politicians who were hoisted on their own petards. 

Worse, Sen. Stanley, who took lewd pictures of his 22-year old intern during the time of their affair, blames her.  He is 47 and she is 22.  He has a family and presumably of suitable age, discretion and intelligence to represent the State of Tennessee. 

He isn’t hiding behind a 22 year-old, is he?  Nah.  Can’t be.  Only someone gutless and unprincipled would do that.   So, it can’t be.  WAIT.  I think Pauly IS a gutless, unprincipled loser.  And he is angry that he has to resign.  As if he did nothing to bring about this morality play. 

I get it: she let herself into his apartment.  She put the camera in his hand.  She put his . . . .  Wow, now I get it.  It is a lily-livered lefty lemming conspiracy (thank you, Lou Dobbs for that phrase) to expose GOP hypocrisy.

Where is the outrage?  Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?  Bueller?
