The problem is he obviously deosn't recognize what his sin was. Does anyone believe he is morally superior to Grannie spending $350 on a day in Atlantic City? Did someone hand her a towel after she washed her hands in the restroom? Even if they did she would probably at least insist on placing the "dirty" towel into the hamper herself. That may be a small example, but that is a building block of virtue.

You focus on the supposed Perks that Bennett was accustomed to vs the granny who lost 350 dollars. How do you know he was handed towels all the time or treated defferentillay. The local tour busses to Atlantic City often tout, "be treated like a millionaire" type trips to Atlantic City as a means for the Casino's there to drum up business.

Gambling is gambling, whether we call it high stakes poster or Stock market speculation. I don't see any-where or have heard anything that Bill Bennett sees himself as morally superior to any-body else except in your paranoic descriptions of him!
