Sadly, he is years away from not having this thrown in his face when ever he speaks about the qualities of virtue.

The only ones that will ever give him a free pass are "lock steppers" like Hannity, who can be so intellectually dishonest depending on the political philosphy of the transgressor.

They were throwing things in his face even when the gambling issue wasn't an issue. His stance on Virtues has made a huge impact on many people and this infuriates those who would like to destroy American goodness and its power upon which it is based.

Jesus had stuff thrown in his face...and he was perfect.

The fact is we don't naturally like to be "good" and even the best of us will chafe at just criticism....it's just that the best of us in seeking the highest good, will accept just criticism..and "love the person for it" as it says in Proverbs.

You know what...this gambling issue and the attempt to bury Bennett with it is the same type of thing happening with the "16 words" from Bush's State of the Union speech. They(Liberals) would like to take evrything that Bush is, and define him thru the lens of the "16" words, get Americans whipped into a frenzy regarding his "lie", get him impeached or force him to resign and then have him tried for war crimes.

Let's not fall into that trap with Bill Bennett too!
