Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years. Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station's charity drives.

important to note that both sides have screw balls.
You have made an excellent point. A persons politics and morals are not related.
The difference seems to me to be that the sleaze on the liberal side of the spectrum, don’t seem to damage the side as much as the sleaze on the conservative side does. Why is that?
I’ll not list the examples of from both sides.
That’s an excellent point.I personally look at it this way.Conservatives (notice not Republicans)are expected to have standards. Most of their supporters also have standards. Consequently they are held to a higher standard “Internally”
Feeding into this frenzy over sleaze is the MSM. Now don’t get me wrong the NYT doesn’t really care if you and three friends are injecting heroin and having sex with dogs in an airport bathroom in Minneapolis. As a matter of fact they would probably think it was tres chic unless of course you are a Republican. Then it would be front page news for months.
Now lets look at a few instances. Barney Frank’s boyfriend is running a gay-brothel out of Frank’s Georgetown townhouse. Result, Frank is still in office. POTUS is getting serviced in the OVAL OFFICE does he resign. No, does NYT call for his resignation? No! Richard Jefferson is caught with $90,000.00 in marked FBI bills in his freezer. Does he resign? No. Trent Lott makes an off-hand comment at 98y/o Strom Thurmonds birthday party. Thinking it’s an off the record event. Does he resign his post as Senate majority leader? Yes. Does NYT call for him to resign. YOU BET. The hypocracy on these types of issues is indeed overwhelming.
