- Matthews says Hastert 'throwing staff to the hounds'
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  That was my take too - just a wacky statement from the speaker.

  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  Black kettle promises to fire any black kettles: "If anybody's found to have hidden information or covered up information, they really should be gone," added Hastert.

- GOP Lawmaker Saw Foley Messages In 2000
  Posted by Jeff from Washington Post
  Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Mass.) shot back, "If there's any evidence that you need that the values in Washington have turned upside down, you could just hear what Jack had to say. Only in Washington, D.C., can you take a group of people in charge of the House and basically have evidence that they've been looking the other way while a predator has been . . . going after 15- and 16-year-old pages, [and] they somehow . . . have the audacity to turn that into a political attack against Democrats."

- Scheer: Condi Rice - More Sordid Than Foley
  Posted by Billbar from Alternet
  Call me old school, but I am still more concerned with the Republicans molesting Lady Liberty while pretending to be guarding the nation's security, an assignment that they have totally botched. The news about the Foley cover-up, while important as yet another example of extreme hypocrisy on the part of the Republican virtues police, should not be allowed to obscure the latest evidence of administration deceit as to its egregious ineptness in protecting the nation. Surely lying under oath in what was arguably the most important official investigation in the nation's history should be treated more seriously than the evasiveness in the Paula Jones case that got President Bill Clinton impeached.

- Let's Face It, Penises Dominate American Politics
  Posted by Billbar from Alternet
  Thank God for Mark Foley. It proves that the American people still care about something. It happens to be penises. But still. They care about who talks about them, who plays with them, who covers them up, who uncovers them, who covers up the uncovering of them.

- GOP's Hold on Evangelicals Weakening
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  The war in Iraq and the Rep. Foley mess are having an effect on evangelicals. A nationwide poll of 1,500 registered voters released yesterday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found that 57 percent of white evangelicals are inclined to vote for Republican congressional candidates in the midterm elections, a 21-point drop in support among this critical part of the GOP base. In 2004, white evangelical or born-again Christians made up a quarter of the electorate, and 78 percent of them voted Republican, according to exit polls. But some pollsters believe that evangelical support for the GOP peaked two years ago and that what has been called the "God gap" in politics is shrinking.

Former Pages Describe Foley as Caring Ally

So, it was known as early as early as 2001 that Foley was ‘odd’ and the House leadership did nothing.

House Leaders Knew About Foley

I guess a pedophile, if he’s a Republican, is worth keeping in the House. Thing is, Congressmen preying of pages is nothing new and they’ve never gone after them. Any wonder the American people have such a low opinion of Congress?
