"Personal morality"

[supergee]

Jerry Falwell Jr. says that we shouldn’t judge the president by his “personal morality” (by which he means, as his kind always does, sexual morality). I think the blind pig has found an acorn. Trump’s politics should get him thrown out of office, and his business dealings should get him locked up, but the adultery is his business. Any political scale that ranks Richard Nixon ahead of Martin Luther King is broken.

Falwell is more than willing to judge and do harm to everyone else for their "personal morality." He only makes an exception for Trump because he likes his politics. So I don't think Falwell found an acorn. He found a turd of blatant hypocrisy and tried to polish it look like moral high ground.

For the record, I don't think that acts between consenting adults are anyone's business. And I don't think that we can get moral guidance of any sort from Jerry Farwell Jr.
