In reply to the discussion: Congressional GOP Utterly Silent After Jason Chaffetz Busted Using Personal Email Server [View all]Staph
(6,251 posts)31. I was just thinking the same thing.
But I had forgotten how ridiculous it became.
- Newt Gingrich resigned from the House before proceedings started due to his infidelities.
- Bob Livingston was chosen to replace the Newt as Speaker, until his infidelities came to light.
- Other Republicans, including Dan Burton, Helen Chenoweth and Henry Hyde, had their infidelities exposed at this time.
- And who eventually took over the Speakership from Gringrich? Dennis Hastert, now in prison for molesting teenaged boys during his years as a wrestling coach.
Republicans -- the finest purveyors of hypocrisy in the world today!
