Don't get me wrong -- I have been among the first in the pool when it came to bashing Trent Lott and Michael Savage for their diarrhea-of-the-mouth episodes, but that is because they said things that were undeniably reprehensible. I would have taken Bennett to task IF he had been preaching against the dangers of gambling, but he never has, and no one, to my knowledge, has ever faulted him for not doing so. He's NOT a "hypocrite." People have been projecting their own values and opinions onto him when they had no right to.
