(Humble Elias actually drove to work today, all the way from the green leafy hills of Romantic Menotomy to the last stop before the Azores in South Boston)...and Lupica predictably did naught but hype his wife's dress shop in New Canaan Connecticut and blather on about the Olympics.
Nothing special.
Except...that in the last ninety seconds of his call-in Lupica swung into a snarling denunciation of John Edwards'adultery calling him "skeezy" and a few other choice epithets.
Which is when I had the thought that public morality in America is little more than the exposure and denunciation of the private and or sexual excesses of white liberals.
Truly, Lupica could have formed no other opinion about the former senator, pundit groupthink prevents the formation of contrary opinions where the private lives of public democrats is concerned.
After all, the skeeziest thing I've ever heard is the story where then Governor George Bush giggles at the clemency pleas of death row inmate Karla Faye Tucker.
And Newt Gingrich, who hectored his first wife about the terms of their divorce while she was still in the hospital...
Oh and John McCain, that modern Achilles...he divorced his first wife as soon as he saw that she'd gone to seed while he was a POW.
Skeeze-mongers all sez Humble Elias.
But you get the picture, somehow mental alchemy performed by Lupica and his ilk makes John Edwards'worse than the above worthies.
Frankly it isn't about the adultery it is about the ongoing corruption of the punditariat, we can't cure adultery we might still be able to do something about the feckless zombie-partisanship of jack-offs like Mike Lupica.
