Josh says:

"It's not a matter of ignoring or papering anything over. But it's worth remembering whoever it was who said that none of us deserve to be known or remembered only for our worst moments."

Then Zachary Roth posts about how Sanford belongs to some sort of xtian cult called C Street...housed in, of all places, a former convent.

Oh, the irony: a bunch of dudes in a former convent learning how to be faithful heterosexuals? What do they do? Get up in drag, call each other Hercules, and find out what it's like to be a wooo-woman W. O. M. A. N. ?

Anyway, on a serious note: what's up with that whole buying into forgiveness schtick, with the "we shouldn't remember him at his worst"?

Why not remember him as the hypocrite he is?

Because what I'm remembering is that these are the DUDES who would be quite content with, even want to impose, a United States of Theocracy.

And that is working out just great in Afghanistan; or Iran; and it was the bee's knees in Europe before the Enlightenment.

Give me that old time religion, my brown eye.

Updated: not that anyone cares, but is there a difference between Sanford's performance, and Giuliani's press conference on May 10, 2000 where Giuliani basically divorced his wife at a press conference?

That's politics. You're welcome.
