Congressman Tim Mahoney...
... I knew Bill Clinton and Rudy Giuliani and Gary Condit and Jim McGreevey and David Vitter and Larry Craig and Eliot Spitzer and John Edwards and Mark Foley... and you're all of them!  What makes this particular incident annoyingly ironic is that he got his seat by proclaiming himself a return to the moral high ground that Mark Foley vacated.  How can Democrats convince the voters to trust them to govern everyone when they can't be trusted to govern themselves, any more than the Repugnicans?  Our public policies are supposed to make us better, but when we act privately the same as the other guys, how can we hope to be around long enough to provide useful responsive government?  If you're a Democrat who reaches elected office, you have an obligation to yourself, your constituents and the institution of representative democracy to maintain the standard of ethical rigor that the Republicans can't, otherwise you're just as worthless.  Of course, if this country would get the stick out of its ass about sex, monogamy and marriage, these guys couldn't be made examples and could just do their jobs without all the bullshit and hypocrisy.  Sigh.  Until then, however,
you all know what the community standard is, remember you have a crucial job to do and act accordingly.
