		<description>Dear Mr. &#38; Mrs. Reader...

Well...another republican religious hypocrite bites the dust.

I don't know the count, but I'm sure that more republicans have been caught than democrats.

And that's what it's all really about isn't it, i.e., who gets caught?

I'm just "praying" that the democratic leadership in (and out of) congress don't have any moral skeletons in their closets.

Barack Obama is on a roll, and doesn't need any moral roadblocks popping up between now and November.

It ought to be interesting to see what falls out of the closet between now and then insofar as religious hypocrisy is concerned.

Best Regards,
Oklahoma Jack</description>

		<description>“This choice was an extremely difficult one, balanced between my dedication to service to our great nation and the need to concentrate on healing the wounds that I have caused to my wife and family,” Fossella said in the letter posted on his congressional Web site.

What's remarkably missing is any reference to Vito's credibility gap between being a high and holy rolling moralizer, and the fact that he's been maintaining two families, each with children, and lying to both of them about the existence of the other.

In the dichotomy between "his service" and "his family", the voters -- the people who hired him to do a job, which apparently consists of "do as I say, not as I do" -- don't even fit in.</description>
