You've really got a problem hanging your case on teh actual conduct. Unlike Studds, who had actual sex, rather than imsex, Foley immediately resigned. And Foley's party leadership, unlike Studds's, did not support him.
And Clinton engaged in actual sex (well not "sex") with his underling, again not just IMsex, but refused to resign. He's lucky there was no dem leader who could have covered it up for him and take the fall.

Age of consent means something here, as does the pattern. And did I defend Clinton? I don't recall defending Clinton? Nor Studds. As I think you mentioned, it was the voters on the Cape who decided he should return to Congress. Unlike Phil Crane, who was rather more hypocritical about values.

He was gay, right? Good point.
