, Americans are fed up with the flagrant display of disproportionate wealth by the rich and famous in this country. Its not unlike a 'ho displaying her wares in church. ITs very unlike "a 'ho displaying her wares in church". A Church building is specific, inappropriate place (and its privately owned with a reasonable expectation that the owners will object to the display). Also being wealthy isn't equivalent to promiscuous sexuality, and in particular isn't (and shouldn't be) illegal the way prostitution is. I don't think prostitution should be illegal, but the fact that it is should count for something in this context. From Edwards $300 haircut to the salaries paid to pro athletes to the over the top salaries of CEOs to the spending, corruption and criminal behavior by Congress Congress' actions are a better example of something to condemn. As you point out some of it is actually criminal, and even when its not they are spending your money. Edwards, and the athletes are not.
