i'd agree democrats should be very careful about making too big an issue of human nature (which is all that sex in all it's wonderful and weird forms is).
but it's a patently lame argument that those who have made "thou shalt not" part of their platform don't have further to fall when they're caught doing what comes naturally.
it's not the act. it the hypocrisy.
