Ethics

Another Moralistic Hypocrite Resigns

By Ed Brayton

And it's the prosecutor in the Lawrence v Texas case, the one who argued that we had to put gays in prison in order to save "family values." Turns out ol' Chuck Rosenthal has a few skeletons in his own closet, including cheating on his wife. He's now resigned as District Attorney in Houston. My favorite part:

On Feb. 15, in response to the new lawsuit, he blamed a combination of prescription drugs for causing "some impairment" of his judgment.

Amazing how everyone caught being a liar and a hypocrite suddenly has substance abuse problems. Rehab has become the equivalent of indulgences sold by the Church. Quite absurd.
