Via the Washington Post, we learn how and when it's OK to cheat on your spouse, while still holding the moral high ground ...
Here's the logic in a nutshell.
Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA), Denny Hastert (R-IL), and Bob Livingston (R-LA) pursued impeachment charges against President Clinton for lying about having an affair. However, all three had also cheated on their wives, in the process breaking the oaths and bonds of love they had committed themselves to in front of family and friends (and presumably "God"). But they didn't lie about their sexually charged affairs under oath.
Only a true scoundrel would do that, right?
It's this distinction that gave them the moral high ground to go after President Clinton, while maintaining the dignity of our institutions.
Cough, cough ...
