It has something to do with the PH levels to get a sweet playing pond... right?

Hillary will be the best President ever because she swept with the worst.

She will not make the same mistakes.

Same logic.

swept = slept

Family values advocate William Bennett rejects reports that he lost $8 million at casinos over 10 years but acknowledged it was "a lot of money."

Bennett's first statement about his losses when this story came out was that he came out "pretty close to even".

Lying about gamblng losses is still lying.

I wonder if Bennet has a case against them for violation of his confidentiality and /or right to privacy. Somebody obviously deliberately leaked confidential data. Do high rollers sign agreements w/ casinos?

Given the smarmy tone of his little morality books and how he promoted them as holier-than-the-pope and the general theme of self-denial and self-control, this explanation sounds like a big ol' lie.

Just because it was legal doesn't mean much. If he'd been a heavy drinker or smoker, that would have been legal too, just like the gambling.

Bennett, a has-been moral hypocrite. He'll never publish again unless it's a book about his gambling addiction. He's going to wish he had that $8 million back in his pocket, I think.
