Fox News has pulled Ed Henry off the air after his mistress came forward and revealed a ten-month affair.

After In Touch Weekly revealed that Henry had a ten-month affair with a Las Vegas hostess, Fox News issued a short statement saying that Henry would be taking some time off, “We recently became aware of Ed’s personal issues and he’s taking some time off to work things out.”

Henry’s personal problem is that he cheated on his wife. The situation is more complicated for Fox because of late; Henry had also been covering Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Ed Henry can’t make the morality argument against Hillary Clinton that Fox News is going to be pushing if he has a problem keeping his private parts zipped up and honoring his marriage vows.

Fox News hypocritically rails about family values while employer on air talent that can’t live by the same standard that they are preaching to their viewers. The morality argument was already toast for Republicans with serial adulterer Donald Trump leading the ticket, but Ed Henry’s scandal is a sign that Fox News and the Republican Party should just give it up.

Ironically, the man who has demonstrated what real family values look like in action is President Obama. Henry has spent years launching biased questions at Obama. Perhaps his attitude towards the President is best explained by the fact that Obama is a better man than Ed Henry will ever be.
