Bill Bennett
Yesterday the theme was east coast conservative intellectuals. Today, the theme seems to be hardasses named Bill.
And in keeping with that theme, isn't it nice that one of the social conservatives who would tell YOU how to live YOUR life has a little gambling problem?
Oh sure, Bill Bennett claims it's not a problem:
Reached by NEWSWEEK, Bennett acknowledged he gambles but not that he has ended up behind. �Over 10 years, I�d say I�ve come out pretty close to even,� Bennett says, though he wouldn�t discuss any specific figures. �You can roll up and down a lot in one day, as we have on many occasions,� Bennett explains. �You may cycle several hundred thousand dollars in an evening and net out only a few thousand."Ah, good to know Bill. Thanks for clearing that up. I remember how well you bought into similarly structured arguments from another important Bill, when he claimed sex wasn't REALLY sex.... so I guess a gambling problem isn't a "problem" until.... well, since you're regarded as a moral leader, until what exactly, Bill? Do tell!
Because at least President Bill wasn't preaching at us all the time.
Nicely done, Bill. Very nicely done.
