- 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.

- _ Hastert: Anyone who knew about Foley 'should go'
  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.

- Worse than FoleyGate
  Posted by Billbar from The New Republic
  Hastert's real estate transactions have been reported extensively in the Chicago press and picked apart in a June report issued by the Sunlight Foundation. But they have been largely ignored in the national media. A careful examination of the facts in the case, however, leads to the conclusion that there are compelling reasons beyond the Foley case to call for the speaker's resignation from the post.

- 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.

- Hastert Became Speaker Because of Corrupt Republicans
  Posted by Jeff
  
  Apparently, Hastert only became speaker because of other GOP leaders’ corruption or ethical problems. Livingston – the interim speaker – admitted to an extramarital affair. DeLay tried to gain the speakership was deemed as too controversial – and now of course corrupt.

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?
