A Morality Quiz

Posted by Jeff Woods on Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 10:42 AM

Dear Pith Reader, let's play a little game. On the moral turpitude scale of 1 to 10, which of the following is worse: (A) A politician who lies a lot to get himself elected speaker of the state House? (B) A politician who gets drunk and tells a female colleague that he'd pay to see her naked? (C) A politician who's constantly grandstanding as a patriotic God-fearing conservative while renting a condemned shack to college students, refusing to make repairs, threatening to sue them if they break their lease and pumping raw sewage into a storm drain?

I'm still waiting for:
(D) A pack of hypocrites who sit on a sexual harassment complaint for two years, then feign outrage when they no longer have the vote of the accused.

I give "all of the above" a 10, including (D).

As for option B, the only answer is: "It depends."
Based on the photo provided on this site, Williams' offer to fork over an entire week's salary to see this woman naked casts serious doubt about his judgment.
His best option now might be to claim that he was misunderstood and actually said he'd pay NOT to see her naked.
But hell, I can remember when our solons used to carry cans of Donald Duck orange juice mixed with vodka onto the House floor. And when legislators could rise with straight faces to denounce a proposed law against open containers in cars on the grounds that it would ruin the experience of traveling to football games in Knoxville. Now you can't even make playful cracks to the gals.
These damn good government types have ruint everything.
