A priest and a rabbi were travelling on a plane. After a while the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?" The rabbi responded, "Yes, that is still one of our beliefs". The priest then asked, "Have you ever eaten pork?" To which the rabbi replied, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb and tasted pork."
The priest nodded in understanding and went back to his reading.
After a while the rabbi asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your faith that you remain celibate?" The priest replied, "Yes that is still very much a part of our faith." The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptation of the flesh?" The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith."
The rabbi nodded understandingly for an moment and then said, "A lot better than pork isn't it?"
Precisely.
And there's a vaguely Bushian sense of entitlement, like a dollop of cream on top.
Now wait for the crazies to come out again and bewail and bemoan that the Democrats don't do every single last thing that they want, so they have to vote their precious little consciences, and if that helps get us another republican, that's just too bad - just as long as they can bask in their own purity and feel better than the common trash that actually wants to make things better.
Elitist purity troll pigs. Okay, rant over >
