One, obviously it was his money to blow but when you are preaching virtue for the masses you might want to make sure your own backyard is clean.

the other thought was from a gamblers perspective. I mean how smart can he be putting that much money into slots? the worst possible gambling endeavor, a sure loser. Of course if he was addicted to horse racing I could have more sympathy.
Bill Bennett...well, anyone that would rather feed a one-armed bandit than back a horse shows their "brain power".
Here's the Times-Picayune opinion...
