This story makes me very happy. Wiliam Bennett, who is self-righteous for a living, telling everyone why they are evil, self-indulgent scumbags because they don't do exactly as he says, turns out to be a gambling addict who's blown $8 million on slot machines and video poker.
He says it's cool, because he can afford it, and thus he didn't hurt anyone.
Well, that's fine, and normally I'd agree with that (except, dude, I don't care if you're Bill Gates, dropping $8 mill gambling is a sign you should probably stay out of Nevada for a while), but Bennett doesn't let anyone else off the hook for having vices that don't harm anyon. And you gotta think of some prominent Democrat were caught in a gambling spree, he'd be all over it.
But isn't this how it always works? These "moral guardians" so often turn out to be some sort of pervert or degenerate themselves. And when they catch themselves in their own snare, they want the tolerance they worked so hard to try to destroy. Except, sorry, it's too late.
I love this story.
