Bush to campaign for the "Strangler" ...

[kentuck]

As if encouraging the child molestor, Mark Foley, was not enough to make this White House throw up the caution flag, we are now told Bush is going to PA to campaign for Don Sherwood, the incumbent who was was having an affair with a younger woman and who is accused of choking her. The larger question outstanding is, "Is there any Republican they would not support, no matter the seriousness of their crimes or "sins". Of course, if they haven't been convicted or in prison, they have only committed "sins" and are worthy of support. Bush exhibits his family values once again.

Trying to help two Republicans in trouble, President Bush will campaign next week for a congressman who admitted to having an affair and a senator accused of using racist language and keeping a Confederate flag.

Sherwood had been considered to have a safe seat for re-election until a woman filed suit against him and alleged that he had choked her during an altercation at his Capitol Hill apartment. He admitted to having an affair with the woman, 35 years his junior, but denied hurting her. They settled the case out of court.

''Mr. Sherwood has certainly admitted to what is going on,'' Snow said. ''And the president also believes that we're all sinners, we all seek forgiveness and, in this particular case, he's supporting Don Sherwood's candidacy.''

Allen has spent weeks rebutting accusations he used racist language and liked Confederate symbols. The furor began Aug. 11, when the senator called a volunteer for his opponent ''macaca,'' considered by some to be a racial slur, during a political rally.
