It is the hypocrisy of these people that is jaw dropping. Newt Gingrich resigns in disgrace, Bob Livingston (R-LA) the replacement for Gingrich can't even step into the job because of marital infidelity with a co-worker, and now we find out that Speaker Hastert, the one selected for his squeaky clean reputation, was not so squeaky clean after all.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton leaves office with an approval rating in the high 60%, the same Bill Clinton they impeached.

Is this intended to be a defense of Pres Clinton ? Is this to suggest lack of hypocrisy with Pres Clinton ?
I ask only because as seems to be the norm, you speak of ONLY one political party implying something you know not to be true.
Dis associating Pres Clinton from personal hypocrisy, if that is your goal is beyond hopeless.
