Someone wrote to Bill O'Reilly and said:

"When the democrats have a sex scandal they re-elect the person"
"When the GOP has sex scandals they shun the perpetrator"

Think they were speaking of the 1983 scandal where sex was actually taking place with a Page. No way in hell my children would ever be a Page for these people.
