This week the second prominent Republican in as many weeks admitted to an extramarital affair. I had a friend ask once why we Democrats get so worked up about these things and I had a simple answer: We don't stake out the moral high ground on this issue...Republicans do when they wailed away at Clinton & others since...
Both Sanford in South Carolina & Ensign in Nevada were publicly critical of Clinton's affair in the late '90's. They both called for him to resign and said that a "leader without a moral compass" is "not fit to lead". Tough talk...
...both Ensign & Sanford have said that they will not resign their positions (US Senator & SC Governor, respectively) because they owe it to the people to finish out their terms...
Surprise, surprise!!
