Sure it's nice to see these holier-than-thou Moral Majority folks like Dan Crane get caught with their pants down, but it has no real significance. It's this and speculation about who's fighting with who in the White House staff that passes for informed political news. A democracy has a responsibility to produce informed discussion, not the meaningless dribble that too-often substitutes for it. Mike Kelly tty3b!mjk
