Ha Ha Ha yeah that sleazy Salon! Bad Bad Salon! Ha Ha Ha. Man oh man its hard to get into Salon because the server is so busy! Salon coins a new phrase, "Moral Centurion" rofl! As Rep. Tom DeLay, one of Capitol Hill's more vigilant moral centurions, said, "I'm scared to death of such notions that it doesn't matter what a person does in his private life. The character is the person ... I'm very concerned we have some [people] in the United States that really believe that character doesn't matter." Bummer you feel this way Mr. Delay.... looks like Hyde needs a new job... Salon is looking for editors maybe?

>Tom DeLay, the Repub whip---and I paraphrase---says in regards to articles and accusations about Hyde and other Repubs adultry: " its the workings of a sick mind and sleazy operations..."< Well. There is a great difference between a man who makes a mistake, repents of it, and then moves on, and a man who makes a mistake, then makes it again and again, and again, and again, and again, and who then lies about it to his wife, to millions of Americans and to an American civil court and to a Federal Grand Jury, and then continues to lie about it again and again and again...(ad infinitum ad nauseum)... There is a great difference between the two. So Salon's stated basis for doing what it did is unreasonable. Now that it has done this, it opens itself and all its editors and everyone associated with the article to retaliation. I am not angry with those who exposed Mr. Burton and Ms. Chenowith as I believe these people cannot expect to cheat and then think themselves in possession of the moral authority to boisterously and publicly criticize others unless they have publicly repented. Chuck Colsen comes to mind. Though he once was a political hatchet man, I believe he now easily has the moral authority to publicly critcize the President. When Chenowith ran advertisements with a moral and critical message, and when Burton called Clinton a "scumbag", with such skeletons in their closets they both should have known someone would stand up and say "you too, you scumbags". I do not think Hyde's situation is the same, however. I don't know much about the man, but I don't recall him attacking Clinton publicly. He merely commented about the severity of the charges (perjury, obstruction of justice, harming the integrity of office - and severe they are) and the soberness of the task now before the House. If this is the case, I do not think he deserves to be attacked.
