about the Mark Foley story is from a former GOP leader who according to this story recently claimed that Democratic sex scandals have been "far worse" than GOP sex scandals:

"What we don't have to do is allow our friends on the left to lecture us on morality. There's a certain stench of hypocrisy."

The source? Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the House during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, who at the time of the Lewinsky scandal was cheating on his wife by carrying on an affair with a Congressional staffer 23 years his junior.
