    Traditional GOP values

    Dumping the first wife for a younger, richer wife? Hey, that's Republican "family values."

    Shooter seems to be short-circuiting over these "values" issues: McCain is a Republican (must defend!), yet was a cad (must condemn!); Craig is a Republican (must defend!), yet homosexual (must condemn!), etc.

    Cognitive dissonance is the price to be paid by today's Republicans.
