So you think that that's worse than Delay 'laundering' hundreds of thousands of dollars for his campaign or investing state funds in a supporter's coin collection or taking kickbacks from contributors by having them build an addition to your house or by using your position to proposition gays and offer them jobs in your city in exchange for sex and when caught, refusing to resign

Well, you're putting a lot of words in my mouth. The DeLay matter seems somewhat technical and I have no opinion on it. It doesn't seem like much in comparison to the abuses of moveon.com.

With respect to using one's position to make propositions and offer government jobs in exchange for sex and then refusing to resign, you've described Clinton's behavior perfectly, except that Gennifer Flowers isn't gay:

cnn.com

"Clinton denied Flowers' claim of a long-running, 12-year affair. But the sources say he acknowledged they did have a sexual relationship.

"The revelation is important to the Jones legal team as it tries to prove a pattern of sexual misconduct by the president, and its contention that he punished women who rebuffed his sexual advances and rewarded those who welcomed them. Flowers received a state job during the time period in question."
