Politically I'm unaligned, but over the past six years or so, the Republicans have demonstrated time and again that they, hands down, have a monopoly on incompetence and turpitude, moral and otherwise, so skewering them is like shooting fish in a barrel, or should I say, like shooting elderly lawyers in the face with both barrels? Speaking of Republican moral turpitude, family-values Rev. Ted Haggard, president [former as of 11/2] of the National Association of Evangelicals and an adviser to our family-values president, is a-flippin' and a-floppin'. First he denied allegations by a male prostitute that he paid the pro for sex during a three-year period. Then Ted admits buying meth (which he never used, of course) from the guy, whom he was visiting for a "massage." Ted's been booted from the CO mega-church he founded, for "sexually immoral conduct." Can you say Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker?
