His personal obligations were taken care of, he was not bank-rupt nor alcoholic. I don't see the sin!

The leading conservative spokesman revealed that his habit had become an issue at home, telling Hannity, "It got excessive. Mrs. Bennett got on me. She was right. And this story hit and it was all out there for everyone to see." Who best to define it as a "problem" than his wife. By his own accounts it was "excessive."

Its not a sin.
However, given where his living was coming from, it was stupid to assume there would be no blowback if it got out.
He needs to decide where his living comes from - as a pundit and editor of some pretty neat books on morality, or as a professional gambler - because the two cannot be sychronised. A car dealer, a doctor, a lawyer, a real estate developer, PJ O'Rourke or George Will could get away with it - but not Bill Bennett, because Bill Bennett has made his whole speaking and writing reputation on the notion of virtue.
