You make a valid point differentiating between fornication and philandery (multiple counts of fornication??), but it seems to me that the difference is like the difference between a heap and a pile. If a half-dozen pebbles is a pile, and a cubic yard makes a heap, and I begin taking pebbles from the heap and adding them to the pile, when does the pile become a heap? When does fornication become philandering?
I'll readily defend the man against pernicious exercise of the Law against him by biased, agend-driven parties, and I'll be listening to his show more in the future, and I'll defend his freedom to pursue his personal life after the manner of his own choosing. I'll simply do all of those things knowing he's of less sterling character than I had previously thought.
I think that is a fair and sensible approach...you can still get what you need, but you don't have to have him on a pedestal of any kind...:)
Actually...by the definition, you can be a Fornicator and not be a Philanderer, but you cannot be a Philanderer and not be a Fornicator.
How sterling did you think Rush's character is? We know he's been married at least 3 times (maybe 4). Would one more matter?
