Karma vs the afterlife

Watch me rip off Andrew Sullivan's entire post:

If Hastert Stays ... the GOP could lose 50 seats, according to an internal poll. And if he quits? Maybe they didn't ask that question. One aspect of this is worth further noting. The base of the GOP has been fed homophobia and gay-baiting for years now. It was partly how Rove won Ohio and the presidency. Gay-hating is integral to their machine. Now, the very homophobia these people stoked and used is suddenly turning back on them. Part of me is distressed that the GOP could lose not because of spending recklessness, corruption, torture, big government, pork, and a hideously botched war ... but because of a sex scandal which doesn't even have (so far as we know) any actual sex. But part of me also sees the karmic payback here. They rode this tiger; now it's turning on them. And it's dinner time.

It's nice to see the beginnings of accountability, even if it's for the wrong sins.

Karma's a bitch, but it's got nothing on the Christian dogma of Final Judgement. Maybe you believe in a judgemental afterlife? How do you suppose these same people will try to explain the difference between coersion and torture to God? I'm no angel, but at least I stack up well against Congress.
