what i do not understand is the relative significance of this mess when compared with the far greater problems that should have been created by the many other fiascos the bush people have engineered: this idiotic"war on terror," iraq, the problems associated with hurrican katrina, the new and improved north korea farce on and on and on.
why is this is issue that seems to damage the republicans more than the bigger, ongoing disastrous policy choices that they have made since 9/11/2001 at the least?
in comparison, this seems rather trivial, but this is the issue that gets traction.
go figure.

This is a troubling question in that I believe it reflects poorly on the general populace. Sexual impropriety of any kind is easily understood and brings out the pitchforks, since moral certainty requires very little effort. How many of these very same people have taken any effort to understand the far more important issues of our nation? That would take an effort, time, and the intellectual curiosity that places value in that effort and the knowledge gained.
The only real value of the whole Foley nonsense (imo) is that it will likely achieve a balanced government once again, when the real issues might not. How sad is that?
