I would argue that what Newt did was wrong, for no other reason than his own personal life has every bearing on it. If your own house is clean, and you express true moral indignation over the President's sexual antics in the White House...then fine. But you don't get to persecute a man for getting a hummer, while you're getting your own knob slobbed.
Newt gets slapped with a rolled up newspaper. Dumbass! |
This would be a better argument if there wasn't alleged perjury involved. Or, at least, a more complete argument. But I'd still disagree with it.
Why
don't you get to persecute a man for something you're doing?
If it's a good thing to persecute the guy, it's a good thing, regardless of who's doing it. It would, of course, also be good to persecute the persecutor as well.
If it's a bad thing to persecute the guy, then it's a bad thing even if the persecutor has no skeletons whatsoever.
