Sex Scandals: Who Are The Hypocrites?

Written by David Frum on Friday June 26, 2009

I notice a theme in some of the comments on the NM tally of Republican and Democratic sex scandals: Republican scandals it is said are worse because they are spiced by hypocrisy, what with the GOP being the party of traditional morality and all. But if hypocrisy is the worst sin, here too Democrats are equally guilty. After all: are not they the party of feminism? Of equal respect for women? That condemns "objectification" and "the beauty myth?" So what on earth are Bill Clinton and John Edwards and many many others doing betraying their estimable wives for brainless sexpots? Seems like, hem, hypocrisy to me.
