"two standards when it comes to Clinton and Limbaugh." If Clinton had created a career out of moralizing and openly speculating about other people's sex lives, I'd of pilloried him too. But he didn't. Limbaugh, on the other hand... Limbaugh, for example, has been a very vocal advocate of locking up drug abusers and throwing away the key. "Rehabilitation" and drug abuse treatment is a waste of time on them. Yet, when he got caught, he did everything he could to take advantage of treatment and rehabilitation to escape a jail term. A jail term that pretty much anyone whose last name isn't "Limbaugh" would have gotten. So yes. Those who moralize publicly about other people's moral failings are held to a stricter standard. They shouldn't have it any other way. It is what they are advocating, isn't it?
