He needs a different set of standards because he's on the "good" side...the side Amos likes! ;-) That's how it works in partisan politics. Errors and imperfections are easily forgiven if committed by those we like....but NEVER forgiven when committed by those we dislike! This is the basic principle that drives all partisan dialogue, Bruce. ;-)

(and it's one of the reasons I detest the very idea of having political parties)
