"Bill Bennett, Rush.... It always looks worse for those who are perceived to be purist ideologues."

As opposed to leftist ideologues, who are immune to any criticism because the only "purity" they can imagine is in government, not in individuals.

Like I said - "Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue." I'd rather give everyone the right to stake out a moral position, EVERYONE, rather than act like no one can criticize anyone else. No duh, everyone has flaws.

There's something far worse than hypocrisy - and that is actively sponsoring and condoning evil. What's worse than hypocrisy is getting actively self-righteous about what you're doing wrong and blame everyone else for your actions.

Rush didn't do that. Bennett didn't do that. Clinton did.
