all over this board catapulting that bullshit for days on end. How about we run this crap just as far as it will go?

I'm thinking the hypocrisy of the grand old pervert party is stunning to all those fundy-dunce voters out there.

4. The charge was using the services of a prostitute
Isn't that quite different from a sexual affair?

It is on my mind that we, as taxpayers, may have helped fund this behavior. He was very close to this administration and probably received our $ for "faith based" programs.
