Seven Deadly Sins of a Right-Wing Moralizer
Bill Bennett, Hypocrisy, Satire
"What nature joins let no gays put asunder." - Bill Bennett

"ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." - Bill Bennett

How poetic.

And now… Billy-boy Bennett, the great conservative moralizer, has come through yet again -- letting us know exactly how evil we all are.

This time, he’s decided that we on the left aren’t outraged enough by the recent leak of the revelations of secret CIA prisons.

And I say, cast not the first stone....but since he already has, why don’t we take a stroll down memory lane and check out the real man behind the hyperbolic vitriol...

Sure, he moralizes for millions and then blows it gambling. No worries though. Everyone has his or her vice(s). For example, everyone clamped down on Bennett's gambling 'problem' as some great icon of hypocrisy. But really gambling is no big deal....uh, that is...unless you ask Bennett's loyal following.

"In the 1990's, leaders of the conservative Christian Coalition joined with other religious leaders to create the National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling. Ralph Reed, former executive director of the Christian Coalition, called gambling 'a cancer on the American body politic' that was 'stealing food from the mouths of children.'"

Ugh! So Bill was "Stealing food from the mouths of children." How disgusting!

Check out the entire, hilarious article, and discover what happens when This right-wing blowhard battles his foes Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Avarice, Gluttony, and Lust.

WELL worth a read! LOL!
