Corrupt Washington, in a Sentence
Orin Kerr sums up the genealogy of DC dirtbaggery
Orin Kerr, on the Hastert Affair:
If I understand the history correctly, in the late 1990s, the President was impeached for lying about a sexual affair by a House of Representatives led by a man who was also then hiding a sexual affair, who was supposed to be replaced by another Congressman who stepped down when forced to reveal that he too was having a sexual affair, which led to the election of a new Speaker of the House who now has been indicted for lying about payments covering up his sexual contact with a boy.
Clinton –> Gingrich –> Livingston –> Hastert. Kind of a genealogy of DC dirtbaggery, innit?
