I agree, but that does come with the territory of public figures -- especially those that strive to be moral. There is nothing the press loves more than tearing down the religious ones. (Remember the raking Bill Bennet got?) Again, this is not to say his comments weren't reprehensible, but he was quick to apologize. How many people here defended Ann Coulter, despite her outrageous comments and her refusal to apologize? It seems to me that many people in this forum are angry at Mel for being critical of the war, so they are content to pile on the bigot bandwagon. But there is no such condemnation when Coulter calls for the killing of Muslims. No, I didn't condemn her for that either. It is interesting what we will tolerate as long as someone is on our side.

FYI -- I got a freepmail from someone advising me that it probably isn't a good idea to speculate about the mental health of a wealthy, powerful public figure. I have e-mailed the moderators advising them to read the content of my post and, if they feel it is a liability to FR, to go ahead and pull it. So don't be surprised if this thread disappears.
