While he gives lip service to his religious conservative supporters, Bush choses successful teen pornography representative as his choice to whip the Securities and Exchange Commission into line. Family values and Stocks and Bondage?

Lou Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition `To reward that behavior with that appointment is not good political judgment.''
Some "other values" that the Reverand mentioned in his list of "degradation of women" was The Bible on Women:
Unto the women he (God) said "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception; in sorrow thou shall bring forth children and thy desire shall
be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." -Genesis 3:16
If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be
unclean seven days... But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be
unclean two weeks... - Leviticus 12:2-8
And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall
be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. The woman also with
whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe
themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. And if a woman have
an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven
days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And
every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean. And
whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even. And whoever toucheth any thing that
she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her
flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the beds
whereon he lieth shall be unclean... This is the law of him that hath an
issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; and
of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the
man, and of the woman, and of him that lie with her that is unclean.
- Leviticus 15:17-33
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
- Colossians 3:18
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands... - 1 Peter 3:1
Likewise ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor
unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel... - 1 Peter 3:7
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto
them to speak; but are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the
law.
- I Corinthians 14:34
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man... - 1 Corinthians 11:3
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
- 1 Corinthians 11:9
But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou
be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: Then the
priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing and the priest shall
say unto the woman, The LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to
swell; and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to
make thy belly swell, and thy thigh to rot: and the woman shall say Amen,
amen. - Numbers 5:20-22
But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the
damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's
house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die...
- Deuteronomy 22:20-21
It is better to live in a corner of the roof than in a house shared with a
contentious woman. - Proverbs 25:24
Now that she is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and
continueth supplications and prayers night and day. But she that liveth in
pleasure is dead while she liveth. - 1 Timothy 5:5-6
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
- 1 Timothy 2:11-12
Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto the Lord. For the
husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the
church... - Ephesians 5:22-23
