The good die young: Former congressman Henry Hyde of Illinois, a Republican who helped spearhead the bogus impeachment of former president Bill Clinton and a noted hypocrite who carried on an extramarital affair with one Cheri Snodgrass (pictured) in his irresponsible youth when he was in his forties, has died at the age of 83.
Hyde was also known as one of the premier anti-abortion members of Congress, responsible for the so-called Hyde amendment regarding public financing of abortions.
