Poll question: Now that Guckert has semi-owned up to his recent hustler past...

Now that Guckert has semi-owned up to his recent hustler past, where should our focus be?

1. He never even had to "own up."

He tried to lie, but the internet speaks for itself.

It's a very funny thing.

2. All of the above, except...

...the sexcapades angle. If we focus on that IMO we run the risk of coming off as bigger hypocrites than the 'Pubs. We also run the risk of the sex angle drowning out the more important aspects of this scandal.

-The security breach angle
-the planted newsman angle
-the "who was overlooking what and why" angle
-the prositution/illegality angle (different from the sexcapades angle)
-the Plame/Rathergate/Shock&Awe, insider/classified knowledge angle
-etc.

The gender of Guckert and his clients--that's something for the other side to get freaked out about, or not to get freaked out about thereby alienating a significant portion of their base.
