In regard to Nigel Stark's rant, who cares if our potential Democratic leader cheated on his wife? All politicians are inherently sleazy. Clinton recieved oral sex and the Republicans nearly lost their minds. The difference between Clinton's dishonesty about something relatively trivial and say, Bush's dishonesty about something massive, deadly and expensive, like the war in Iraq, is obvious.
At the end of the day, Clinton walked away from his lie looking a little sleazier, having emotionally hurt maybe five people at best (friends and family). Bush, on the other hand, is the master sleaze behind a lie that has resulted in the DEATHS of hundreds of good Americans. The difference should be obvious. Death means your dead, infidelity means you have an angry wife to answer to.
Bush, as a moral crusader and representative of true American values, is not only inaccurate but sad. What's so moral about a liar who has sent soldiers to an early grave?
If you make the argument that as president our nation's leader is obligated to represent a standard of higher American values, you cannot ignore the reality that our current president's lies have resulted in blood and tears. There's a big difference between sleazy sex and sleazy war. Sex doesn't kill, war does. Take your pick, I'd rather have sex.
