You must have been one hell of a sailorboy, flajim, so much of one you

discharge papers. Oh, but wait...you can't even discuss what you did for

But, not to worry...the other mustered out geniuses, herring and

That's your argument? Not so good for all that fine Kansas skoolin you got.

Yes, Mark. Washington, DC is to blame. For everything. Even for your
resignation. Yup.

Of course this wouldn't be a Republican sex scandal if Mark Souder
weren't a hard core family values advocate. You know, the kind who
preaches abstinence.

It is interesting that the GOP has a zero tolerance policy on these

I don't for a moment think that Dems are any more "spouse loyal" than
Repubs. The saving grace for the Dems, though, is that for the most part
they do not align themselves with the rigid (and hypocritically held)
"family values" of the conservative right, and therefore are less likely
to be caught up in these sorts of scandals.


You're correct, Herr Krause. It is one thing to preach morality and
commit divers sins, but it's also another to have no moral standard in
which to be judged.

By your way of thinking, If you don't condemn an act you are less likely
to be called out when you do it. Whoopty Do!

It's about bs hypocrisy not condemnation of the act. The act itself is
wrong. The hypocrisy of promoting family values and using that promotion as
a cudgel is even worse.

Zero tolerance my ass. Where have you been?
Vitter and Ensign are whores, and still drawing their pay.
Souder is standing by his convictions, and seeking redemption.
Good for him.

Jim - A sinner can redeem himself. Don't ask how I know.

Bullpucky. He didn't stand by his convictions when it counted. He
wouldn't have quit had he gotten away with his bout of flaming
hypocrisy.

I'd feel better if he were dragged through the mud of his own making.
