Mr. Snow said the president supported both men and was comfortable appearing with them. “George Allen is not a bigot. Period,” he said.

As to Mr. Sherwood, Mr. Snow said the president “believes that we are all sinners and we all seek forgiveness.” ~The New York Times

So why didn’t Mr. Bush implore Mark Foley to remain in Congress?  Maybe even campaign for him?  Doesn’t sound very charitable to me to not give him another chance.  Or could it be that Dobleve considers those “naughty emails” (to use Tony Snow’s description) to be more troubling than accusations of assault on the woman with whom you’re committing adultery?    Question: is it not some kind of unprecedented low for the Republicans to have the President of the United States campaign for an adulterer accused of mistress-strangling?
