I find it ironic that in 1983, a young congressman took the lead in demanding more severe punishment for the congressmen that had had sexual relationships with pages.

Of course that person would later lead the "Republican Revolution" in an attempt to curb corruption in Congress.

Of course, that man was Newt Gingrich.

We fast forward to 2006, and it is the man who occupies Gingrich's former post, who at the very least is guilty of moral laxness, in not further pursing Foley. The very sort of thing that occurred prior to 1983.

And now, as if Shakespeare himself were writing history, Gingrich is poised to attack the gates once again. To rescue the Republicans from themselves.
