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.

Okay, I get your point now; it wasn't clear previously what direction you were coming from. I agree that government officials should uphold and be held to a high standard, including one of personal morality, especially for elected officials who frequently campaign as family men.

Note that Wise is the Governor, even, not just Lt Gov.
