Pandora's Box
Two random thoughts:
First, there's a group that is asking all Colorado lawmakers who believe that marriage is a sacred institution that needs to be protected from same-sex couples to sign a pledge that they themselves have not committed or will not commit "the top threat" to the institution of marriage: infidelity. Henry Hyde should be happy that this pledge only includes lawmakers in Colorado so far, as there's no exception for "youthful indiscretions."
Second, speaking of youthful indiscretions, does the White House really want to make an issue out of what John Kerry was doing 30 years ago, in 1971? I mean, I thought they were pretty happy to avoid having to deal with those questions back in 2000. But if they want to get into it, I'm sure people will be interested in having the President elaborate what he meant when he said "When I was young and irrresponsible, I was young and irresponsible." The National Guard story shows that press may have more cahones this time around.
Are we talking blow? Are we talking horse? We know that there was one DWI, in 1976, at age 30. And that was after he had started to calm down. What else could be out there? Larry Flynt is licking his lips already. Indeed, is it possible Bush suffered irreversible brain damage as a result of the chemical ingested during his reckless youth? If so, it could explain a lot.
Oh, baby. Bring it on.
