Here is an interesting development that illustrates the hypocrisy of Democrats. Back in 2006 the Democrats ran against the "Republican culture of corruption in Congress." Republican Congressman Mark Foley was cited as the prime example by Rahm Emanuel, the reelection campaign manager of the Democrats. Foley was a homosexual (not a secret according to people I know who are familiar with Congress) who had sent salacious emails to a male page. Foley's seat was taken by Democrat Tim Mahoney. It turns out that Mahoney was having an affair with a member of his staff, and this was known by the Democrats at the time of the election. Mahoney's affair came to light after his staff-member mistress found out that he was cheating on both her and his wife and started threatening a sex harassment suit, was offered a payoff, etc. Rahm Emanuel and the Democrats tried to keep the lid on this until after the election this year. Nancy Pelosi has finally called for an investigation into the Mahoney affair. Two years ago Republicans were called corrupt for doing the same thing Democrats are doing now. The MSM were all over Foley. My guess is that they have little interest in Mahoney. After all, people expect this sort of behavior and hypocrisy from Democrats. (Several years ago a Democrat Congressman named Gerry Studds had sex with an underage male page in the Capitol, and it was not a big deal; he was easily re-elected, and was lionized by the Democrats when he died.)
