Schadenfreude- Republican Edition

From the Kansas City Star:
Adam Taff, who vaulted from obscurity to nearly upend a congressman, was indicted Wednesday for allegedly using campaign contributions to fraudulently obtain a loan for a $1.2 million home.


Surely such an act will make Taff persona non grata in the Republican party, an organization built upon the high ethical standards of its members. Or, maybe not:
Republican Patricia Lightner, who finished third in the 2004 Republican primary, called Taff “very straight-up.” She said she thought of him as “classy,” particularly for the way he treated her during the race. “I still think a lot of Adam,” she said.

Kobach said the news about Taff’s indictment was “really sad.”

“If it’s true, it’s really unfortunate that a good man like Adam made a bad decision,” he said.


Just a good man making a bad decision, of course. In fact, the entire prosecution is probably some kind of librul plot. Personally I think we should spend $40 million investigating this to see if Mr. Taff at some time in his life might have received a blow job.

All it takes is to name yourself as Christian and Republican and you become a true person of character. You might have a slight slip of the tongue every once in a while or in an extreme case make a bad decision, but you really are incapable of true sin when protected by those two labels. Infallability is not just for God and the pope anymore, but all Christian, Republican figureheads.
