    • TIME The Foley Sex Scandal Has Hurt G.O.P. Election Prospects

      Posted by Billbar from Time

      Two-thirds of Americans aware of the congressional-page sex scandal believe Republican leaders tried to cover it up — and one quarter of them say the affair makes them less likely to vote for G.O.P. candidates in their districts come November. Among the registered voters who were polled, 54% said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate for Congress, compared with 39% who favored the Republican. Almost 80% of respondents were aware of the scandal, and only 16% approve of the Republicans' handling of it. Those polled were divided, however, on whether House Speaker Dennis Hastert should resign over his handling of the Foley affair, with 39% saying he should resign and 38% saying he should not.

    • Longtime Republican was source of Foley emails

      Posted by Billbar from The Hill

      The source who in July gave news media Rep. Mark Foley’s (R-Fla.) suspect e-mails to a former House page says the documents came to him from a House GOP aide. That aide has been a registered Republican since becoming eligible to vote, said the source, who showed The Hill public records supporting his claim.

      Mark Foley and the unmasked Republican Party

      Posted by Billbar from Glenn Greenwald

      Is it really all that surprising that a political movement that has chosen a moral degenerate like Rush Limbaugh as one of its most revered and morally respected leaders is not all that bothered by -- and therefore actively harbors -- the Mark Foleys of the world?

    • Boehner: Hastert said he dealt with Foley

      Posted by Billbar from Rawstory

      "I believe that I talked to the Speaker," Boehner has told a Cincinnatti radio station, "and he told me it had been taken care of." "My position," he continued, "is, it's in his corner. It's his responsibility. The clerk of the House that runs the page program [and] the page board, all report to the Speaker, and I believed it had been dealt with."

    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?
