Snopes is pretty much a useless ultra-lib site. While Snopes tries to give the impression that they will track down facts to the ends of the earth in the service of truth, note that in THIS case their vaunted investigators did NOTHING to prove or disprove any of the purported facts. Rather, they simply sniped about "innocent 'til proved guilty" and whined that we should all be oh-so-understanding of human frailties. Want to bet that the majority of the drunks, bankrupts, etc. are Dems -- and Snopes knows that?
