William Bennett, it turns out, is a man of hidden talents. The former Drug Tsar has spent half his career scolding the country for its moral decay and the other half in casinos feeding his gambling addiction. His rare gift is not the straight -faced duplicity every politician carries in spades but a budgetary acumen worthy of David Stockman. Mr. Bennett dismisses his gambling over the years as a wash even though his wallet is $8 million lighter. Pound for pound, he’s made more money disappear than Arthur Andersen. Maybe the decline in standardized test scores can be traced back to Mr. Bennett’s tenure as Secretary of Education. Consider this: While high rollers always claim to break even Steve Wynn keeps building new hotels. Maybe you should do the math.
