Dear GOP: You are NOT holier than thou...

Today's news of Assemblyman Mike Duvall's (R-Yorba Linda) resignation after a tape of a sexually explicit conversation accidentally wound up in the hands of KCAL, is what we might call the last straw that broke the "socially conservative" camel's back.

Let us now think back to just this summer... Who remembers South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and his mistress from Argentina? And don't forget Senator John Ensign's messy affair with a campaign staffer, and subsequent monetary compensation to her family.

Now I'm not saying that Democratic politicians don't sin. They do. The difference is they don't go campaign on a platform of moral righteousness and "conservative family values". The point I am trying to make is this: If you absolutely can not keep it in your pants then please...

A. Don't be a hypocrite! Don't tell your constituents that you're going to return them to "traditional" family values if you are planning on cheating on your wife multiple times/running away to another country to have a secret love affair/pay off your scorned lover's husband and son and try to bury the evidence.

B. Don't Incriminate Yourself! If you are cheating on your wife with two other women, for the love of God do not brag about it during a legislative hearing while there may or may not be a microphone on in front of you. Also if you are cheating on your wife, don't write your mistress's husband a letter telling him you are in love with his wife. Stop creating evidence for the news media to have a field day with when they find it (and they will find it).
