Hear Hear for Chris Lee

Chris Lee is my role model. Here's a righteous family guy who preached hard line conservative, presumably family values, and then literally gets caught via Craigslist with his shirt down, and his naked lies about himself exposed. He initially starts to do the GOP exposed scoundrel tap dance, and that's duck, dodge, deny, and then a mea culpa. But then he had an apparent epiphany and did the right thing. He owned up to his rascality and resigned. He dropped all pretense of being a victim of take your pick the White House, Nancy Pelosi, jealous Democratic constituents, or leftwing/liberal media dirty tricks and smears.
The problem with what Lee did is that while he did the honorable thing and bailed with no finger pointing, his party and the long list of self-righteous, holier than thou, even Bible thumping members who lie, cheat, steal, and engage in assorted sexual hijinks can't bring themselves to follow Lee's example. Case in Point De Judge, Clarence Thomas. He likely shredded the truth about Anita Hill. He shredded the truth about lobbying pay-offs to his wife. He shredded the truth about conflict of appearances he made before a cabal of right wing groups who have a deep vested interest in court decisions that he ruled on or is likely to rule on.
But Thomas won't even entertain the idea of recusing himself from sensitive cases where there's clearly interest conflict. He laughs at and flaunts the law and ethics with not a peep of an outcry from a GOP lip. He's hardly alone. Hear hear for Chris Lee.
