From a reader:

Mr. Goldberg, this idea some conservative are floating that Craig is not a hypocrite just isn’t going to fly. This is about a lot more than whether he supported gay marriage. This is a MARRIED guy preaching family values (it’s why he supported Romney, he said) who is out trolling for [oral sex] from anonymous guys in bathroom. How is he different from Bill Clinton exactly (Clinton was a hypocrite too, because he used his fake marriage as a political selling point). If Craig hated himself for what he did, why didn’t he try to get some help. Seems to me he only regretted getting caught, like Clinton.

Me: Okay, if one is willing to pullback to the topic of family values then, yeah, he is a hypocrite. But it seems a lot of the commentary wants to hang all this on Craig’s stance toward gay marriage, which I think is pretty weak and baldly political. But, sure, as a family values pol, he’s a hypocrite (Oh, and Bill Clinton, grand supporter of sexual discrimination laws for everyone but himself, was a hypocrite in all sorts of ways). But again, I think getting caught up on hypocrisy is a sign of the left’s weakness when it comes to moral issues. Craig’s faults, as this reader suggests, are much more profound than hypocrisy. Adultery, for starters, is worse than hypocrisy. Update: From a reader:

Subject: “Adultery, for starters, is worse than hypocrisy.” Thank you!!!!
It’s like all the non-Christians I know; the only Bible story they
apparently know about is the “let he who is without sin” one. Yeah,
Jesus said that. He also said a lot of other stuff…. And other
people in the Bible, it’s like, they said other stuff, too….
