    I find it sad that we treat celebrity gossip as newsworthy. Sure, they’re hypocrites. That’s like telling me touching water will get you wet. What else is new?

      Normally, I agree. But when this sort of thing is uncovered about politicians who constantly bleat about “family values”, it becomes immediately relevant to the public discourse around our state and national politics - specifically, how one particular party has a pattern and practice of extreme hypocrisy and gaslighting.

    Non-monogamy is cool as long as it’s ethical… What’s the over/under that these two concern themselves with ethics?

      They’re politically active and un-retired Republicans; nobody’s going to take that bet, because Republican politicians nearly without exception simply don’t concern themselves with ethics in any context.
