Hell, damn, and blast! :-(
House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) did not respond Friday night to a report by the Associated Press that GOP congressional leaders had been warned nearly a year ago by one of Foley's Republican colleagues about potential questions concerning his behavior.
But Hastert was visibly uncomfortable discussing Foley at a news conference Friday afternoon that he had called to trumpet congressional passage of rules for questioning and prosecuting suspected terrorists.
"None of us are very happy," he said when asked about the Floridian.
