The GOP and Sex

Let me see if I can get this straight. The GOP nominee for president calls the NY Times story that alleges an affair with a lobbyist unfair and a deliberate smear, and here we have Karl Rove, President Bush's political adviser, who by the way was drawing a salary on the taxpayers dime, ordering a GOP political employee to "find evidence that the Democratic governor of Alabama at the time was cheating on his wife." How interesting the timing of both stories. The moral majority, or the GOP, whichever you prefer, kicks into high gear when one of their own is accused in a sex scandal but for a Democrat we have the highest office in the land ordering investigations on the opposition party.

The Times is an independent newspaper. Whatever their perceived interests may be is irrelevant. Any paper that has William Kristol writing editorials can't be too liberal. The difference is Rove was a government employee working in the highest office in the land instigating the surveillance of someone's private life. No affair was ever discovered but that didn't stop Rove from playing politics.

This is what the GOP does. Hypocritical to the core.
