Over at his website, Jerry Pournelle asks why Gray Davis wasn't investigated for sexual improprieties, which seems to be a fair question at first. Until you look at history.
Former President Bill Clinton was impeached over the question of his "relationship" with a White House intern (Monica) in the Oval Office. The republicans Party insisted that we spend over $30 million of taxpayer money investigating it, even though some of the most outspoken among them (New Gingrich) were themselves have extramarital affairs.
Why isn't Arnold getting the same treatment from these supposedly devout, upstanding, Puritannical conservative Christians? Answer: because he's their philanderer. Despite the Republican insistence at pushing their religious beliefs into the public arena, they're giving arnold a pass.
Such is the hypocrisy of politicians. They only adhere to their deeply held religious beliefs when they are of benefit to them. Otherwise they are tossed before the wind. Somehow, that's not the message I picked up in Sunday School.
