Dear Scooter:

Now that you’ve been indicted, I’m pleased to have an opportunity to remind Americans about why truthfulness matters.

Ever since Bill Clinton and his enablers infested the White House, lying has become as virulent and acceptable as herpes. The aftermath of their blight was so infectious that some compulsive liars have won international awards and gained wide acceptance because of their disease. Lying is no longer viewed as a behavioral abnormality but as a sport to be practiced, like golf. And because US Senate Democrats were so accepting of Bill Clinton’s admitted pathology, how can they question or judge UN diplomats who profit from the same behavior today?

If you are not guilty, I wish you well and hope that you recover from your experience to enjoy a long and peaceful retirement. I know the pain of being falsely accused and convicted and you have my sympathies and support. Public servants like us deserve nothing less than peace after decades of service.

But if these indictments are true, I have no sympathy for you. You’re a smart guy; a magna cum laude Yale Law School grad with a distinguished career. It’s hard to imagine that you would unnecessarily soil yourself over someone as sordid as Joe Wilson. Breathtakingly dumb, if true.

If the evidence is accurate and you are convicted, I pray that no one pardons your conviction the way Democrats excused their president, or the way Clinton pardoned his drug dealing and money laundering library supporters.

You’re not a Democrat, Scooter, you’re a Republican. We expect much more from each other.
