RINO's are democrats that love to cross-dress.
I don't see that it matters whether the boy was from a state where the legal age of consent is 16 or not. There's just something unsavory about a middle aged man coming on to a kid of 16. (Let's even forget about the homosexual angle. I'd say the same thing about a straight guy coming on to a 16 year old girl.)
What really shocks me here is that the Republican leadership knew of it for a long time & did NOTHING. In the Catholic church sex scandal people weren't so much indignant about the priests themselves, as about the conduct of the hierarchy in doing nothing about it, or, in many cases, actually covering it up. Look to the Dems to make hay of this. What could have been just one errant congressman will be used to slam the whole GOP leadership.
Frankly, Hastert has never impressed me very much; this is the last straw. Can't believe we didn't have anybody better to assume the speakership after Livingstone bit the dust over HIS sexual scandal.
