"If a man, like Senator Vitter, has values and standards," says

Representative Richard Baker (R-LA), "but does not always

live up to them, it does nothing to discredit the validity of those

values and standards, and he is far preferable to those timid souls,

like Fearguth, who, without values and standards, cannot fall

short of them, nor ever run the risk of being charged with hypocrisy."
