I note with sardonic glee this news item in today's paper: " Clerk of
House out of a job ". The House Oversight Committee discovered that
Robin H. Carle - Republican appointee - has been a robbin US.
It seems that for Republicans in office nowadays their weird
compulsion to preach morality in government -especially PERSONAL
morality - is inversely proportional to their much weaker impulse
to ACT morally.
How many Republicans will succumb to what our literary genius
Poe described as the " imp of the perverse " : to do wicked things
just because they ARE wicked. ?
I believe that the great Russian writer Dostoevsky was
working with essentially the same idea in his novel " Crime and
Punishment ".
Why would a man like Livingston - who knew himself to be
an adulterer - be so eager to almost literally cast the first stone
at President Bill Clinton ?
Now these House Republicans - as self-righteous as they
are self-destructive - who voted against the democratic wisdom
of the majority - are the most odious and loathed people in the
country.
Have they wrecked the GOP ?
