While angry values voters fulminate over Hastert’s failure to do something before the IMs came to light, all I can remember is the Democrats’ mantra.
That the troglodyte Republicans were obsessed by sex between consenting adults.
That homosexuals in close working relationships with young people, especially young men, is a good and healthy thing.
That some forms of sex, aren’t sex.
That what two consenting adults do or say behind closed doors is their business.
That intercepting and reading electronic communications between anyone in the US, especially those between two citizens, is never to be tolerated.
And most of all, never be judgmental.
So in the end, what do we end up with?
A pedophile that wasn’t.
A child that was actually an adult.
The disclosure of personal electronic communications of a highly personal nature between two consenting adults revealed.
A sex scandal between a couple who never had sex.
That Democrat Congressmen can have sex with 17 year olds and get re-elected, but Republicans that talk about sex are forced to resign.
ABC news is made to look like a fool, hyping a story beyond the facts at hand[*2] .
So, apart from ridding the House of Representatives of a single disturbed man, what’s the point here?
