Short memory about Henry Hyde?

DuPage County Board Chairman Bob Schillerstrom praises late Congressman Henry Hyde as a great example of what a public servant should be. Recognition is to be further demonstrated when the county board names the judicial office facility in his honor.

Is Schillerstrom's memory short? The late congressman commonly blocked a woman's right to choose: incest or rape notwithstanding. Further, Henry played “footsie” with his female employee. Her former husband bitterly on national TV, gave Henry Hyde the responsibility for destroying his marriage.

Has Mr. Schillerstrom forgotten how the Congressman went after President Clinton, using secretly recorded conversations, a practice inadmissible in about 30 of our states as well in the state it which it was recorded. Isn't Illinois the state of Honest Abe?
