Nonsense.
I have been through this with "Gotcha" game with people who are willing to stand up for traditional morals (Dr. Laura's old nude pics, specious accusations about Gary Bauer when he ran for President) and the type of people who will pillory them for not being perfect (or allegedly sinful), leaving others reluctant to face off against amoral people who proudly display their vices, and encourage the rest of us to cast away morality because sin is more fun.
I would venture to guess that many of you -- if not most of you -- didn't care for Bennett in the first place, don't like the idea of preaching morals, and are delighted to see taken down.
If you really did care for Bennett, why are you deflated by this? Did you think he was an angel? That his feet smelled like blueberry muffins? Grow up!
As I said before, people are projecting their own morals and values on Bennett. He never has said gambling was immoral, and guess what? He gambled! Is he not, to our knowledge, living up to the rest of what he preaches? Any illegitimate kids? DUIs? Domestic violence? Nanny problems? If not, is he actually a "hypocrite?" Heck no! Some of y'all have to invent deadly sins to slam him ('He's sitting down at the slots, so that's sloth!')
You don't wonder why leftist guys are so invested in trying to turn people to the right of Bennett away from him? You think the guys at Newsweek are trying to do YOU a favor?
