BILL BENNETT HAS HUGE GAMBLING LOSSES Link to Josh Marshall. This is no biggie unless it can be shown his losses affected his responsibilities in any way. BUT it is a delicious irony for the "Prince of Virtue" to be revealed as such an apparent compulsive gambler. Even a multi-millionaire like me who can afford to lose a million a week is aghast. The media will have the usual feeding frenzy over this one. Other delicious headlines I look forward to seeing include:

Barbra Streisand demands free singing lessons from poverty stricken single mom
Don Rumsfeld's conscientious objector status during Korea War revealed
Dixie Chicks are from Brooklyn, and they're Puerto Rican
Huge arms cache found in Salvation Army Shelter
Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Yassar Arafat
But seriously folks, an addict, and that is what a compulsive gambler is, wouldn't be permitted to work in any secure enviroment anywhere in the government. There is a terrif email at Andrew Sullivan discussing this. Bill is in bad shape and a very high risk person who cannot be trusted in government.
