Hypocrisy is a Wonderful Thing...

Thank you God!

And thank you Christopher Lee. And I don't mean the wonderful actor. He's not a hypocrite so far as I know. That Christopher Lee is a fine man.

No I'm talking, here, about the other Christopher Lee in today's news.

The one from Western New York. The former (as of yesterday) Republican Congressman.

The Shirtless, Craigslist flirting, Family Values touting, HYPOCRITICAL Christopher Lee. Yeah...that one!

For the uninformed, Rep. Lee was caught having a flirtatious email relationship with a woman on Craigslist. You know...Craigslist. The place to buy and sell bicycles, baseball cards, cellphones and...oh I forgot...sexual liasons.

The wonderful thing about this event is that it happened to a Republican. I know, I know...spare me...Rep. Massa, Democrat, also from New York...resigned in a sex scandal...I know.

But the difference between the two is this, and only this: The Republicans are the ones who are always screaming about Family Values. God, Jesus, The Church, Abortion, Homosexuality, Guns...you name it and they're screaming about it.
And so arrogantly and so pompously. They own the argument.

And sex! Oh my God...these people rail about sex. "Don't have it before marriage!", "Only have it when your married!", "Don't have it with someone of your own gender!", "Don't have it with your dog, no matter how adorable in that small bag that looks like a purse!" "Don't masturbate, except if you have a razor for the palms of your hands!" "Only use the Missionary Position. All the rest are perverted positions!" And on and on, ad nauseum.

So...when a Republican is caught in the act, so to speak, it's just a wonderful day...Christmas all over again...the Fourth of July...your birthday...terrific!!

Morally and ethically there is no palapable difference between Massa and Lee. Actually Massa was worse because his transgressions involved sexual harrassment whereas Lee's involved only marital infidelity. One was intimidation the other a trip to the couch for the night. Easy to see the difference there.

But Lee is a hypocrite. Preaching Family Values in public while subverting them in private.

But the Republicans never learn. Nor do the Evangelicals (Baker, Swaggart, Haggard)

Yak, yak, yak, blah, blah, blah.

Either practice what you preach or just shut the hell up!

If you want to send pictures of yourself over the Web in compromising positions and cheat on your wife, be my guest. But don't do it, all the while, yelling at me about how bad the family is doing in America because of a dearth of real Christian Values. What would Jesus do? He'd be ashamed of you! He was willing to die for your sins. Your just looking to get laid...

And while I'm at it, forget the Mea Culpa. You're not sorry about what you've done to your family. That's standard pap that you say because it's expected of you. The more honest thing to say is that you don't give a damn about your family. If you cared about your family and constituents more than yourself you wouldn't have betrayed them in the first place!

Your only really sorry for one thing...that you got caught!

Moral of the story?

Don't send naked pictures of yourself over the Internet.

In the words of the late, great George Carlin, "Cop didn't see it, I didn't do it"

What...you expected a different moral? You expected "If you're going to dance you have to pay the piper?" Something more spiritually uplifting?

Nah...don't hold your breath. Republicans will be Republicans.

Palin in '12...Run, Sarah, Run!

Yeah...!




ps...

Does that make me a hypocrite...?
