When Clinton was embroiled in the scandal that led to his impeachment, Larry Flint posted a front page ad offering a million dollar bounty for information revealing affairs of prominent republicans. Some dirt was dug up Bob Livingston, who was in line to replace Newt Gingrich as speaker of the House.
Livingston stood before the house. Called on Clinton to resign. Catcalls and boos came from the democrats, they were shouting "YOU RESIGN!"....the gavel was pounded, "THE HOUSE WILL BE IN ORDER" called the speaker pro tem. When the commotion had died down, Livingston went back to his prepared remarks. He continued, "And I can only challenge him [President Clinton] in such fashion if I am willing to heed my own words."
The House democrats became silent as they knew Livingston was tendering his resignation and that they were a bunch of hypocrites.
A republican was holding himself to the same standards that he was holding the democrats too. When have you ever seen a democrat hold themselves to the same standard that they hold republicans too?
