UH you do know that this was basically a well-known secret for a year by many, many Republicans in DC, who chose to keep it a secret rather than risk harming their hold on power?

Uh and you know this how?

Anyway the fact is that foley has been booted out, unlike your heroes in the democrat party, barney frank and ted kennedy.

The resignation rocked the Capitol, and especially Foley's GOP colleagues, as lawmakers were rushing to adjourn for at least six weeks. 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. It was not immediately clear what actions Hastert took. His spokesman had said earlier that the speaker did not know of the sexually charged online exchanges between Foley and the boy.
