While, hypocritical rhetoric around extra-marital affairs is pretty damning, engaging in illegal acts is, or should be, off the charts. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

When everybody is a social critic and it’s hard to be heard, humane voices are drowned out by scolds and prudes. How about some muscular moderation? You don’t have to be an advocate for prostitution to feel that, among offenses to decency, the oldest profession is not at the top of the list (check cable TV and the yellow pages), and you don’t have to be an admirer of hypocrisy to observe that what people do is often at odds with what they profess. http://ajliebling.blogspot.com/2007/07/stoning-sinful-senator.html The debate over whether or not David Vitter should go to jail reflects a sad tendency in our society across the political spectrum.

It's too bad the Regressive Right won't apply the same standards to ole Newty Gingrich, who I believe was cheating on his wife while bashing Clinton for cheating on his wife. That would be a start, then they could move on to all the other Republican hypocrites. But I won't hold my breath. Good for Hannity for once.
