GAMBLING? IN VEGAS?!

· Friday, May 2, 2003 · 2 comments

Newsweek has a shocking expose of “Book of Virtues” author Bill Bennett: He goes to Las Vegas and–get this–gambles. While many conservatives oppose gambling, the story points out that Bennett has never spoken out on the subject. So it’s not even a hyprocrisy story. I’m afraid I fail to see the significance of this one, let alone why it is the featured story on the website right now.

    Acoording to them it seems Bill Bennett’s “transgressions” far exceed, in ‘moral parlance’, anything Clinton ever did for extra-curricula activites.

    The logic is Democrats don’t stand for morality, so it doesn’t apply to them, I think. The funny thing is most Democrats wouldn’t agree with that logic.

    I commented on my blog if you want to take a look.
