Now where have we heard that argument before? And the liberals turned right around and said Bill Bennett's gambling was the public's business. Its funny who has the right to claim privacy.

You're going to have to explain your comment. What argument have you heard before? What expectations of privacy does Bill Bennett have? Was information on his gambling ($ amts & so forth) public property, lawfully obtained, or was it leaked by those wishing to harm him?

You know as well I do Republicans get nailed for minor transgressions whereas Democrats are allowed to walk on the big sins. We've heard the Democrats use privacy as an argument to to shield immoral and even illegal behavior. Bill Bennett has a right of privacy that's to be expected with a private citizen. As a public official, West Virginia's Lieutenant Governor has none. So you can see there's a double standard at work here.

As the ad for Vegas states, "What happens here stays here". I think the ads are misleading and Bennett has a lawsuit win...............apparently what happened there didn't stay there!!!
