Blog: Sherwood kept after improprieties

Seriously, what do you have to do to lose a leadership position in the Republican party?

We know that preying on children for sexual favors isn't enough.

Not only did Mark Foley remain in the House GOP leadership throughout the 5+ years he was known to be stalking kids, but Foley was permitted to remain the co-chair of the House committee dealing with the issue of missing and exploited children. A position in which he would attend media events in the proximity of scores of abused children. And then we learned yesterday that Foley was thinking of not running again this year, but rather retiring, until Congressman Tom Reynolds (R-NY) begged him to stay earlier this year.

And now the other shoe drops.
