Selective Moral Judgement

THOSE ON THE Right are doing their best to compare the Foley scandal with the Clinton-Lewinsky mess, arguing that Democrats are exercising 'selective moral judgement' because they are 'outraged' (Hannety's word) at Foley's behavior but they were not outraged at Clinton's behavior.

I'm all for being outraged (and I was) at Clinton's behavior, but surely even right-wing hacks are smart enough to understand the difference between consensual sex between two adults and a grown man who preys on children.

The only Republican defense to this is 'the Democrats have done worse.' Pathetic.

Actually, Newt Gingrich said as much last night in a speech to GOP supporters in South Carolina.
