He never lectured people about gambling. I don't see any hypocrisy here. And he did the commendable thing and called it quits.

At least he never smoked a joint.

Except maybe on that date with Janis Joplin.

If one never lectured against adultry if you do it standing up is it still not hypocritical if you get caught while you were standing.

Please -- he lectured & wrote all over the place about how what everyone else does is a big problem but conveniently & specifically left his own huge vice out of it. The hypocrisy can be found in the macro, not the micro.

And he did the commendable thing and called it quits.

After he got caught.

Even if he did lecture against gambling - who would know better? It's kind of like the parents who had to get married trying to keep the same thing from happening to their children - that's not hypocrisy, it's wisdom.

If Bennett were liberal, we wouldn't even know he had a gambling problem.
