Letter: Republicans unfit to judge Clinton

Friday, Oct. 16, 1998 | 11:47 a.m.

All of these Republicans had sexual affairs. To refresh memories: Gingrich had his wife sued with divorce papers as she languished in the hospital. Burton had an affair which provided an illegitimate son and Burton has not adopted him so he could bear his name.

Now we know that "Mr Pure" Hyde had his affair also. Consider this: These three men of power in the GOP shall sit in judgment and just voted for Clinton's impeachment inquiry.

Somebody better tell me why Clinton's extramarital affairs are more morally wrong that these "Holier that thou" hypocrites. Something wrong with this picture?
