Democrats Called Foley Guilty of Sex Crimes By Jeffrey Lord The magic number is 16. Just last night, on Sean Hannity's Fox Show, ABC's George Stephanopoulos said in defense of the liberal media's non-coverage of Kevin Jennings, that a person's entire career should be taken into consideration before they are sent packing from public service.
