Time for another edition of Republicans Who Love To Fuck: Bob Livingston - Ladies' Man
A retrospective on Republicans of the past and present who actually love to knock boots and get down to do the nasty.
These guys would say that the anti-sex crowd in the GOP of today are just plain weird.
Speaker-elect Admits Illicit Sexual Affairs
December 18, 1998|By William Neikirk and Mike Dorning, Washington Bureau. Tribune special correspondent Vanessa Blum contributed to this report from Washington.
WASHINGTON — On the eve of the House debate to impeach President Clinton for lying about sex with Monica Lewinsky, House Speaker-elect Bob Livingston told his Republican colleagues Thursday night that he had strayed from his marriage and had adulterous affairs.
Only a few hours after Livingston decided to proceed with the impeachment debate despite U.S. forces being engaged in hostilities in Iraq, he admitted in a GOP caucus that he had "on occasion" committed infidelity and in "doing so nearly cost me my marriage and family."
The speaker-elect's announcement added a startling twist to a political scandal in which Clinton is likely to be impeached by the House for allegedly lying under oath about his affair with Lewinsky and then covering it up.
In the closed caucus, Livingston, of Louisiana, read a letter to colleagues about the matter, departing from it only once when he said at the beginning, "I guess I have been Larry Flynted."
This was a reference to Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, who had offered a reward of up to $1 million to anyone who could document adulterous affairs by members of Congress or high government officials.
