Ensign Resigns

So John Ensign resigned a leadership position and publicly admitted an affair.  An affair he had while separated from his wife, with an adult woman whose husband was away, and for this he’s being publicly admonished.  He’s said to be a hypocrite.  I’m still surprised at the sheer number of hypocrites who condemn hypocrisy.

Bill Clinton pressed his advantage with vulnerable women.  When he was finished, he threw those women to the wolves, aided of course by his wife and their many "feminist" friends.  No hypocrisy there? 

I don’t agree that somebody who tries to live his life morally (even though failure happens) is somehow less moral than somebody who never gave it a thought.  Life is long, everybody blows it, most of us more often then we’d like, but that shouldn’t mean that we don’t try.  If we give ourselves the chance, we just might surprise even ourselves.
