Bill Bennett has gambled away about 8 million dollars, says the Washington Times, but hasn't touched the "milk money." I'm not sure which is more disgusting, that the pompous arbiter of our national morals has a whispered-about gambling jones, or that his family can absorb the hit when their patriarch dumps millions into slot machines. Beautiful quote from a Sullivan reader: "I'd certainly never let him in on advance inside information about a big planned drug bust, not ever again. Gambling at the Bennett level is not bean bag. The connection between drug dealing and organized gambling is clear and people who are in one pursuit are always — always! — linked to the other." Via Josh Marshall.
