Planet Wingnut News for Friday

Kondracke, Coulter claim Republicans fire their immorality cases like Sanford. Riiiiiiiight
The Fox talkers were out trying to spin past the gruesome wreckage of Mark Sanford's political career yesterday, partly by claiming that Republicans always give the boot to such cases of gross immorality, while Democrats are so lascivious that they naturally tolerate such behavior within their own ranks.
First there was Faux Liberal Mort Kondracke on Brett Baier's afternoon show:
Kondracke: But look. You know, multiple affairs did not stop Bill Clinton from being elected president. But that's because the Democratic Party is a lot more tolerant of licentiousness than the Republican Party is. And that's the rub for poor old Mark Sanford here.
Then Ann Coulter attempted more or less the same claim later that day on Sean Hannity's show:
Coulter: But he's a Republican, so he will be gone. Unlike John Edwards, with all of his staff knowing that he --
Hannity: He may not be governor by the end of a couple of weeks.
Coulter: That's right. And even if he is, Republicans vote these guys out, generally.
