      Posted by Jeff from Pageoneq

      Catholic priests and now another Republican congressman - when will people began to doubt the GOP's holier than thou rhetoric ? This is a creepy summary of Foley's IM with underage minors. Worth reading to understand the seriousness of what Hastert and other GOP leaders may have known.

Thomas Reynolds, who heads the House Republican election effort, said Saturday he told Hastert months ago about concerns that a fellow Republican lawmaker, Rep. Mark Foley, had sent inappropriate messages to a teenage boy.

      House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) told The Washington Post last night that he had learned this spring of inappropriate "contact" between Foley and a 16-year-old page. Boehner said he then told House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.). Boehner later contacted The Post and said he could not remember whether he talked to Hastert.

    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.

    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?
