It does get tiresome to hear and read about this kind of story, the blatant double standards, and the vulgar hypocrisy, especially when you recall the Federal Judge who had porn on his own website: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/06/chief-judge-in.html
Who paid no other penalty except some embarrassment.
Then there was the Republican party itself, who happily filled their coffers for years with donations from porn peddlers, and who very unhappily gave it back, when caught red-handed:

Then there was Adelphia, the huge cable conglomerate, who gave tons of money to Republicans and turned out to be the 1st to offer porn on its cable channels.
The Republican Party doesn't appear to contain very many Christ-like people. It is hard to imagine Jesus Christ waterboarding someone while sermonizing on turning the other cheek, or loving thy neighbor, or doing unto others, but I guess you have to do what you do to get a vote.
whores are whores and it doesn't matter how you define it, the only difference is how much you get for the trouble.
