The harvest of tolerance

I guess we've been lectured so much about "tolerance" that we do little more than grimace when confronted with leaders who refuse to play by the rules they set for everyone else--except when their moral lapses threaten the climb to the next rung on the ladder:

Lawbreaking should receive no reward in any section of the federal government. And lawbreakers should not be rewarded for bad behavior by being given the chance to shape national policy in critical and consequential ways. Such privileges should be reserved for people who play by the rules, not for people who think the rules don’t apply to them.

Read the whole thing.
