WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Henry Hyde, the Illinois Republican who steered the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton and was a hero of the anti-abortion movement, died Thursday. He was 83.Good Oh Henry -- he epitomized that good old fashion phony conservative hypocrisy.
Very vocal proponent of Bill Clinton's impeachment in 1998 - Of course, all good 'family-values' conservative Christian wingnuts were ...
Lots of really nice things being said today about Congressman Hyde; by Democrats and Republicans.
What I'll always remember Hyde for was his excuse when it was discovered during the impeachment hearings - hearings that he was leading with a snide indignation toward Clinton - that Oh Henry, while married, had a four year affair with another married woman.
Hyde, who was in his early 40's during the affair, blamed it on 'youthful indiscretion'.
Now that's balls.
God bless, Henry.
