I don’t know about the wages of sin, but the costs of adultery can certainly be huge. Maybe not to the adulterer (Rudee), or to the adulteree (Judee), but certainly to the adulterated (no, not Donna Hanover, but New York City taxpayers).

From the John McCain campaign:
John McCain has mainted a consistent record on Iraq since the very beginning.
Somebody gave it the old college try, but just couldn’t get it out, huh?

Since it’s worked so well for Snarlin’ Arlen, Senator Lindsey Graham has now decided to get into the stern warning business:
Two Republican senators said Monday that unless Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki makes more political progress by January, the U.S. should consider pulling political or financial support for his government.
The stern warnings, coming from […]
Some have wondered why Bush, so clearly tortured by thoughts of what his legacy will turn out to be, has never once in the seven years of his presidency mounted a serious effort to bring about peace in the Middle East.
