Arkansas is okay with having a Ten Commandments monument on Capitol grounds, but a state official just denied a request for a statue of Lord Hanuman, a Hindu deity.

What bugs me about this story is not right-wing hypocrisy about sex (which is old news) or that sex leads smart people to do dumb things (even older news). It's that, by focusing on D'Souza's timing, commentators are ignoring the main double standard at work here.
