OK, he can stay. But I don't ever want to hear about Clinton's blowjob again, capeche?

In yet another episode of that riotous commedy of [bad] manners, "It's OK If You're A Republican, Pennsylvania Rep. Don Sherwood (R-Married Biblethumper), whose "domestic incident" with a 29-year-old woman is being shrugged off by his colleagues, is being permitted to remain as chairman of a Republican committee to help candidates in tough races win re-election.

“We don’t see him as a vulnerable member,” said Caryn Alagno of the National Republican Congressional Committee. “He’s been in office a long time, and he’s got a solid record in his district.”

OK, you heard it straight from the NRCC: personal conduct no longer matters. Please remember this the next time a Democrat is blasted by some Christofascist wingnut politician for something involving "personal conduct."

And no more pious ranting about the "sanctity of marriage", either.

If them's the new rules, then them's the new rules for everyone.
