Because of confession, forgiveness, redemption? Liberals and libertarians don't confess? Don't ask forgiveness? Don't seek redemption? And conservatives do? Hmmm...

He went down in scandal. Not that anybody knows the details or remembers the story, but once you go down on the left, you don't come back. Of course it doesn't work that way on the right. CNN and Fox News are occupied daily with conservatives who went down in scandal but got back up to fight another day. I mean, in part thanks to me and Jill Simpson and Scott Horton and the others, Karl Rove resigned from the White House. Now he writes for the<em> Wall Street Journal</em>, <em>Newsweek</em> (owned by <em>The Washington Post</em>) and he not only appears on Fox about every day. He whipped up on Wolfe Blitzer on CNN something terrible the other day, and of course Wolfe just smiled and took it and went to another drug commercial break... Then there's Newt Gingrich, who resigned as Speaker of the House in the '90s for ethics violations. Old Bob What'sHisName who got outed as a gambling addict is on there every day, still touting Ronald Reagan's legacy... They won’t listen to him anyway. He went down in scandal.

But he's been so quiet in recent years that I wondered if he had passed away or something. But, better late than never and you're absolutely right, Glynn: the web press has been calling out Fox now for lo, these many years while the mainstream folk have done nothing.
