Requirements for Nomination

It's not the sex, it's the hypocrisy.

To qualify as a nominee to Pensito Review's GOP Adulterers Hall of Fame, a person must be a conservative politician or opinion leaders who promotes so-called family values -- and especially the sanctity of marriage -- but who has also had sex outside his or her marriage, or had sex with someone who was married to someone else at the time.

And as a special bonus, The 2006 Top 10 GOP Adulterers list included:

George H.W. Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sen. John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr, Henry Hyde and Gary Bauer.
Being the fair and balanced blogger that I am, I didn't want to exclude last year's contenders.

Digg!
