There are many unknowns involved with this. But one of the problems I had with the story is that Bennett didn't want to respond to the "losses" until he had a chance to digest the stories (and probably come up with the spin to downplay them).

What is truly funny about lefties and Clintonistas getting their panties in a wad over this one is that the government or government business is not involved. He didn't do this while on the job. His family has not suffered. He could afford to do what he did without taking a bribe from the ChiComs or teachers unions. This truly was personal behavior, recreation he apparently enjoyed, and the only effect it has had on others is that it helped provide jobs for dealers, attendants, hotel personnel, limo services, airlines, etc. His money, which he could afford to lose, benefitted the economy.

What spin? He said he gambles and he said he's probably broken even. Doesn't sound like spin to me.

And frankly, waiting until he's read the stories makes a lot more sense than responding to them sight unseen.

Now...if we could just get Krintong to comment on Juanita Broaddrick...hmmm, maybe Hillary will have something about that in her upcoming book.
