I suppose it would be a bit childish to snicker at Deal Hudson, who's leaving his position as the Bush campaign's chief adviser on Catholics to deal with a sex scandal involving a student that dates back to the years when he worked at Fordham University.

However, I will snicker at the fact that Mr. Hudson, who became an influential Catholic pundit after this incident took place, went on to write a column called "Are Your Kids Safe In A Catholic College?"

Then again, maybe he'd really be the guy to ask.
