Tuesday Morning

Back here, I said someone oughta write up the kind of articles we'd be reading if it came out that Bill Clinton or Barack Obama had paid a whole lot of loot to a porn star to hush up about their relationship. My buddy Bob Elisberg took the suggestion.

By the way: I really don't care a whole lot about Donald Trump's sex life or how faithful he's been to his wife. Oh, I guess I can imagine some scenario where it might matter to me…like if it turned out that because of some affair he was trying to keep secret, an elected official was being blackmailed into passing legislation or something like that. But I do not care about any sexual doings between consenting adults and long as they're really adults and really consenting.

What does bother me is when Republicans scream "Scandal!" about something a Democrat does and aren't the least bit outraged when a Republican does it…or vice-versa, meaning Democrats looking the other way over a Democrat's transgressions. I don't like seeing the concepts of what's right and wrong corrupted for political gain…but then, I'll bet that you don't, either.
