"A little learning is a
dangerous thing"

"Gannongate is reminiscent of a huge political scandal that surfaced in Nebraska in 1989 when it was learned that Lawrence King, the head of Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha... was a kingpin -- along with top Republicans in Nebraska and Washington, DC, including George H. W. Bush -- in a child prostitution and pedophilia scandal."

For more, see the "Omaha" chapter in the George H.W. Bush biography.
