There was no shortage of moral relativism apologist articles a few years back essentially saying that private morals and/or honesty did not matter in public life. But public life also means in a position of corporate power and influence over many people's 401ks and futures.
I think we should search our records and start posting these articles that came out by Liberal Democrats in mass in 1998 and 1999 in the midst of Perjurygate.
Rub it in their faces, I say. They, too, Set The Tone.
