You have a point, but the reason it pisses me off is the fact that he holds himself up as this great moral leader, yet hides in his room with a video poker machine. It would be different if he was out in the open about it, but he realized that his "morality" would be questioned if he was seen on the floor in Bally's. And if it's not morally wrong, why has he sworn it off after all his holy-roller friends started snubbing him?
I have no problem with gambling. In fact, I think most "vice" crimes are only a problem when they produce illegal activity (for instance, if prostitution were legal, pimps would have to start providing health care and 401k plans to stay competitive, and stop beating their employees). But I do have a problem with hypocracy, which I think Mr. Benett has displayed in spades (heheheh).
