Bill Bennett admitted he lost 8 million bucks gambling, about 30% of his gross income over 10 years. Shockingly stupid. A complete addict. And he told us to curb our appetites. You may never see him on TV again. He's finished.

The Iraq War was a great rallying movement for Bushies until this month. The combination of falsified evidence, no WMD's threat, Bush's saying the war is over and daily casualties with no endgame in sight means Iraq as an issue will gradually fall into the negative column for Bush-Cheney. Already it's fallen from 80% to 56% (last week) and may hit even stevn any day. Combine that with the lousy economy (even if there's growth it's jobless deflationary growth ex military spending) and the bloom is off the Bush.

I didn't get the angst over Bennett's gambling. He didn't try to hide it, nor did he ever lie about it. He played for high stakes, but he could afford it. He's not in debt, and didn't put his family's financial well being at risk. It was done in public, and was perfectly legal. So, where is the lack of virtues?
