It's always embarrassing when a member of the extreme Christian right gets caught sinning. The latest of the holier than the rest of us to fall is Bob Bennett, who recently authored The Book of Virtues. To his credit, the book does not specifically condemn gambling, which is good, because Bennett just admitted that he has lost some $8 million over the last decade playing the slots. However, many of his fervent followers do view gambling as the devil's handiwork. Ironically, those are the very same people who attend Bennett's $50,000 speeches decrying the cultural decline of America, and made possible his addiction to games of chance.
No doubt they will also be the first to forgive him for being a two-faced weasel.
