Moral Turpitude

At what point exactly does the GOP have to stop portraying itself as the party of moral righeousness? Isn't there some sort of slaughter rule we can invoke? A referee we can appeal to? Because Ex- Rep., Mark Foley (R-FL) is just the latest in a long line of crooks, charlattans, and self-hating homosexuals which appears to be the normative condition when it comes to moral lapses. At least when Democrats get caught doing the nasty its usually straight sex with a consenting adult. I know what you're thinking and Barney Frank doesn't count because, a) he's been openly gay since I can't remember and, b) when he got caught and censured his constituents didn't seem to give a damn and have returned him every two years since.

So can we stop with the self-righteousness already? At least with Democrats you know what you're getting; power-hungry and horny but willing to do the people's business. The Republican leadership seems to be just shot through with repressed wierdos who furtively indulge their secret kinks while wiping their asses with the Constitution. The semen seems to have backed up into their brains because what sort of mental midget propositions a 16 year-old via email for crissakes. This is 2006, when will these losers ever learn that it all gets recorded?

So, here's my new campaign slogan: Vote Democrat; Sure We're Horny But We Can Balance The Budget.

I can't wait for the election to be over so I can get back to thinking about really important stuff, like the economics of ethanol and global warming.
