Time to put Babs on the bus to the retirement home

So Barbara Walters, co-host of “The View”, thinks Sarah Palin’s bus tour has the moral equivalency of Anthony Weiner’s sexting episode. From the Daily Caller –
Barbara Walters: If Palin ‘can ride around on her bus,’ Weiner can stay in Congress:
 

(Walters) argued if Palin can make a bus tour and be considered viable for the presidency, then Weiner can get away with this and continue to be a sitting congressman.

Amazingly, even the generally clueless Joy Behar wasn’t buying the analogy:

“Let me defend Sarah for 30 seconds,” Behar protested. “The woman has no sex scandal in her dossier, in her arsenal. This is a completely different thing from Sarah Palin. And I want to defend her here.”

Well Behar, I’d like to be joyful at your stand, but it’s probably just an anomaly. The truth is, Weiner’s antics, and every similar disgusting episode that we’re subjected to, chip away at the moral foundation of our country. Because no matter how many media elites we hear feigning outrage, there are always a few voices asking “what’s the big deal?” Over time, “what’s the big deal?” is picked up by more and more of the libertines, until it becomes a drumbeat. Society slowly wearies of defending traditional morality. Eventually, behaviors we once believed were deviant become “normal”. The cycle repeats.
And pretty soon we’re all on the Non-judgmental, Totally Depraved, Amorality Bus.
