Over the course of his political career, Bill Clinton was literally and figuratively embraced by countless pastors, most of whom presumably went to their pulpits on Sunday to preach traditional values, including marital fidelity. If memory serves, neither Gail Collins nor other liberal pundits noted any irony in people of the cloth endorsing the spectacularly straying Clinton.
But let a preacher praise a Republican with a personal history, and Gail Collins thunders like Billy Sunday with a bad migraine. Here's the opening paragraph of her "Pat Loves Rudy" in today's New York Times [emphasis added]:
"Back in mid-2001, when Mayor Rudy Giuliani was busy committing adultery, lurching into his divorce and third marriage and rooming with a gay couple he promised to marry as soon as the law allowed, who among us would have imagined that one day he would be endorsed for president by Pat Robertson?"

She’s the former editor of the NY Times op-ed page. She’s now a regular columnist.
It’s hard to argue with the facts. Robertson endorsed an apostate Catholic with more than his share of failings. Will Robertson’s endorsement swing votes? Not mine.
3rd party = president dim (maybe hellary or maybe b. hussein obama)
And why do you think the Republicans lost control of the Congress? Was it really because Democrats were a better choice?
Of course not. The reason we lost control is that the distinction between the two parties have become so blurred that it didn't really make a difference who one voted for.
Bush II, more so than his unqualified father, has done more to blend Republicans and Democrats into one homogeneous blob, thus forcing true conservatives out. All this from the man who wants to remove the border lines between the North American countries.
At least Hillary would give us back the Congress where we can hopefully get back to true reform.
I may be smoking opium but it's clear where your head is...right up Bush's bum.
The number of judges on th Supreme Court is not set in the Constitution. If the dims get control of 2 branches, they can change the court, too.
Agreed. But try telling that to the die hard Republican sychophants who believe that having the White House is some sort of utopia where everything turns "conservative."
I'd much rather have control of Congress than the White House because that's where the real work of reform is done.
President Hillary Clinton = look what happened to Vince Foster and Ron Brown. Who will be next?I agree.
All you have to do is imagine how many hours Rudy spent with those fags, sympathetically chatting it up over hundreds of drinks and dinners, to realize that he would NEVER oppose "gay rights" or preferences in any shape or form as president. It really makes the Robertson endorsement all the more grotesque.
Out of all the responses to my posting on this thread thus far, yours is the only one to demonstrate an unfortunate inability to read for simple comprehension.
Congratulations. I guess.
President Giuliani = Mandatory Homosexual Indoctrination in every public school (and mandates for homeschoolers as well)
And who do we have to blame for the strong possibility that the Demoncrats will take control of two branches?
The so-called "conservatives" who are more interested in sitting in the Oval Office than doing something while there.
I'm not ready to write off the White House, but I think we should focus on winning back and expanding control over Congress.
Funny. Ha ha. You is.
Republican donations fell off the map during the Amnesty Fiasco. And where the heck you get “The Army is for illegal immigration” I have no idea. Certainly the members I’ve served with have generally been opposed.
It's an INSANE thing. Hillary is unqualified to be president. And she simply does not care about what America is all about. She has made it very clear she does not believe that people have any rights other than the ones she agrees they should have. And that they do not have any property rights at all. She intends to STEAL money from you and GIVE it to others. She is a raging insane and not very bright SOCIALIST.
Little people with little minds who think they have all the answers and the ONLY answers are very dangerous when allowed to have power.
Hillary is the "classic" abused women that's pissed off and wants to get even with her "husband". She has been in a sham marriage for years. She has been spit at, stepped on and generally abused by her loon of a "husband". She has stayed with her husband for one reason and one reason only. To GET THE POWER to not be pushed around by Bill anymore. Mark my words, she will get her payback and as a man hater she will make all males (except gay ones) pay.
Hillary Clinton has shown she is as mentally sick as her husband. The Clinton's need to be finally removed from being anywhere near elected office.
Nothing personal but you are saying something frightening when you say having Hillary in office may not be a bad thing.
You know, you're really going to feel righteously embarrassed later, once you've sobered up, or caught up on your zzz's, or the stick up your butt finally snaps off, or whatever occurrence/impetus is that's causing you to gibber in public like this finally rights itself.
Seriously. Take five minutes. Breathe.
It's okay not to post something, if you don't actually have anything intelligent to say. Really.
Don’t you just love Liberal “do’s & don’ts” instructions to Christians?
