John DiIulio has a defense of Bill Bennett in the Washington Post today:

So let me make a final bet on Bennett. The ex-high roller has never pretended to be a holy roller, but, at least as I see him, his God-given gifts as an intellectual, a public communicator and a political figure pale by comparison to his deeper spiritual being and potential. I bet that, in the end, it matters not whether he loses power, position or paydays, or whether some former friends and supporters abandon him.
