We have resurrected the Three Stooges in the form of three holier--than-thou Republicans: 2 Governors and 1 Senator. I have written about the Governor of my state of Nevada (see The Gentleman is a Dope) but he has been upstaged by our junior senator John Ensign and the Gov. of South Carolina Mark Sanford. All three have been caught with their pants down and the media have obligingly pushed custard pies in their faces. It might be different if they were lovable rascals like Errol Flynn or smooth charmers like Cary Grant but they are dreary, very ordinary guys who are not very smart and heap ridicule on us mere citizens. Will they resign? Of course not. They may have left their mistresses but they still have time to screw their constituents.
Back in the 1960's when this happened, comedian Mort Sahl used to roll his eyes, shake his head and say, "Our leaders!"
