I think it is interesting that the Democrats think that it is necessary to let gay scout masters take 12-year olds camping, but are outraged that Republicans didn't purge a gay Congressman who sent naughty emails to male pages who were egging him on as a prank. Apparently they think that Republicans should have been monitoring former Congressman Foley's emails rather than those of terrorists.

I really wonder about Democrat's calling the Republicans the "culture of corruption." The Democrats haven't purged William Jefferson, the one who kept $90,000 of a $100,000 bribe he accepted in his freezer. (I suppose that is the definition of "cold cash.") They have Alcee Hastings, a former judge who was de-frocked for accepting bribes, in a leadership position. And how about Harry Reid's real estate deal. He says he did nothing wrong, and perhaps he didn't. But is is really odd that he made a profit of $700,000 on a "handshake" deal: no paperwork at all. It could be legit, but it looks fishy. How do we know it wasn't a bribe? And he seems to have played a role in having the land, which originally was owned by the government, sold to private hands, including his. And then he seems to have had a role in getting the land's zoning changed from residential to commercial, which made it more valuable. This kind of thing happens all of the time in Texas where legislature pay is so low that no one could afford to serve if there wasn't some way of showing a profit. It seems to me that Reid is at least a hypocrite.
