Did You Know - Henry Hyde

In 1998, Republican Henry Hyde was serving as the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee and vigorously leading the charge for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton over the President's alleged sexual indiscretions and subsequent cover-up. Not so surprisingly, it also came to light during this time that Rep. Henry Hyde had a five-year-long affair with a married woman that eventually led to the woman's divorce. Henry Hyde tried to cover-up the affair. He dismissed his sexual congress with a woman who was someone else's wife by declaring that it was a "youthful indiscretion" even though he was in his 40's when the affair took place.

Yeah, though shall ye protest the behavior of others, so shall ye cheat and steal and it be okay: Proverb of the Moral Majority.
