AH, A SEX SCANDAL: AND NONE TOO SOON!

What a relief!  We have put the public through such trying times, asking them to understand the supposed $716B "cut" in Medicare, the difference between and Embassy and a Consulate, and when manufacturing Jeeps in China is not really outsourcing.

Now, an American hero has ridden to our rescue.  He's given us a sex scandal.  We've got sex, emails, a possible triangle and a "bang your biographer" subplot (See, we know this one--Thanks, Jack Welch.).  Now, we've got something everybody can understand back in the public eye.  Whew!

Not only is it easy to understand but it is easily predictable.  Sundry of the Watergate and Iran-Contra born-agains will comment on public (or pubic) corruption.  Franklin Graham will say it's because the Godless Democrats are in charge and Howie Kurtz will opine that the press is having way too many thrills reporting about it.

There will be hearings.  There will be books.  And the only conclusion will come as we all discover new, shiny objects to take our attention off of this one.
