2. Ho ho!

Very funny. But, hey, even if it's true, Ollie would be fine. After all, sex is only a scandal when committed by Democrats. When Republicans do it, it's simply human frailty, and we should all forgive them and move on, since they've obviously changed their errant ways.

4. I didn't check the link, but...

when did it happen? If it happened when North was swearing in during the Congressional hearings and all those Repubs were calling him the finest soldier ever...well, it would be worth a chuckle.

They were wrong then, can they be wrong again?

3. Ollie's real scandal

Some years ago, Ollie had a psychotic break, and was apprehended by Alexandria, VA police officers.

He was apprehended because he was jogging.

In the nude.

He was sobbing loudly, and carrying a loaded pistol.

I don't think he was arrested, but he was a mess on that occasion. And when I read about it, let me tell you, I felt bad for the guy.

Need we spend much time speculating about how a Democrat in a similar situation would be treated?
