I should note that i really couldn't care less one way or another if a government official wants to run around in a wig and stockings. It certainly wouldn't be the least professional thing that anyone running for or holding a public office has done. And haven't we all snuck into a dressing room and tried on clothes of the opposite gender? No? Um...yeah, me neither. Hell, Shrubby could pull a Buffalo Bob tuck, and I wouldn't care if only he hadn't given away the surplus to the wealthy, fallen asleep at the wheel on terrorism, rolled back environmental regulations, and led us into an unnecessary quagmire. It puts the lotion on the skin, or it gets the hose.

What bothers me is when these Republicans project this whole paragon of morality, holier-than-thou mentality, and then they turn out to be hypocritical. Back when a little hanky-panky qualified as a national scandal, and the Republicans were calling for Clinton's head on a stick (poor choice of words), Newtie Gingrich was divorcing his wife who'd been suffering from cancer so that he could marry the woman he'd been having an affair with. And Henry Hyde was called out for having an affair of his own, which he chalked up to youthful (when he was in his 40s) indiscretion.
Then now you've got Tom DeLay questioning anyone else's patriotism who expresses one ounce of reservation over how the war is going, and he's one of the worst chickenhawks around. He avoided Vietnam because, as he explained it, all the good positions had been taken by minorities, and so there was no room left for patriotic folk like himself. So instead, he waged his own war on cockroaches, setting up an exterminator business. In DeLay's defense, cockroaches would likely survive a nuclear holocaust, so they're a formidable enemy. At least Dick Cheney admitted to having "other priorities" in the 60s. And Mr.Virtue Bill Bennett turned out to have a bit of a gambling habit. Not as sexy as having prostitutes show up at your door while you're doing business in Thailand (we thank you,Neil Bush), but hypocritical nonetheless.

It's a good thing we have that liberal media to uncover all these instances of Republican hypocrisy and broadcast them non-stop 24-7 in order to bring you the fair and balanced truth.
