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?
