Jeffrey Goldberg has a terrific article in the latest New Yorker about the meltdown within the Republican Party. It includes the infamous DeLay rationale that his serial adultery was morally superior to Gingrich's serial adultery at the time both were impeaching President Clinton for getting a hummer:
The difference between his own adultery and Gingrich’s, he said, “is that I was no longer committing adultery by that time, the impeachment trial. There’s a big difference.” He added, “Also, I had returned to Christ and repented my sins by that time.”
He'd stopped beating his wife, in other words. The article goes on to describe the loathing DeLay and Gingrich have for each other. Good for them. If God is just, they'll be chained together in Hell for eternity.
