From the article: 'According to the account of FBI Special Agent Ignace Ertilus, Felix and Joseph Roque took a keen interest in the recall site as early as February. In an attempt to learn the identity of the person behind the site, the younger Roque set up an e-mail account under a fictitious name and contacted an address listed on the website. He offered some "very good leads" if the person would agree to meet him. When the requests were repeatedly rebuffed, Joseph Rogue allegedly tried another route. He pointed his browser to Google and typed the search strings "hacking a Go Daddy Site," "recallroque log-in," and "html hacking tutorial."'"

Bullshit. Just off the top of my head, there was David Vitter, who got caught with prostitutes, and Mark Sanford, the guy who went "hiking" with his not-wife from Argentina. Both definitely worse than sexting women who were willing participants (Weiner's "crime"). And yet neither was run out of office. Why? Because Republicans don't give a shit about morals when it would put them at a disadvantage.
Of course, if you get all your news from Fox and similar propaganda outlets, you'd be likely to believe that only Democrats get caught in scandals. Maybe you should step away from the bullshit spewers before you become one of them. That is, if it's not already too late.
