Via NRO's Ned Rice, a look back reveals the long history of the Republicans' disgusting Culture Of Salaciousness. There is no more graphic example of this deeply-ingrained tendency toward sexual predation than in Rice's exposé:

Just when you thought we’d heard the last of assorted GOP sex scandals starring the likes of Mark Foley there are new reports in the media today of yet another inappropriate correspondence between a prominent Republican and a minor — in this case, an eleven-year-old girl. Worse, the exchanges between these two were so long ago it seems obvious that some kind of cover-up must have taken place. Although no e-mails or Instant Messages have surfaced yet, the handwritten exchanges alone easily warrant a criminal investigation, to say nothing of a congressional rebuke.
