The worst part of this whole deal was that the House leadership fumbled the ball. Inexcusable. They knew about this for a long, long time and swept it under the rug. And it will probably give us "Speaker Pelosi."

Uh the GOP didn't sweep this under the rug. The first inkling of foley's letchery was when a parent complained about foley's non-sexual but inappropriate e-mails. The parents wanted the e-mails to stop and no further investigation.

When the sexually explicit IM's became public(last Friday) foley was booted outof Congress.

But nice try and I'm sure nancy pelosi will be sending you a thank you card for your trouble.

Not sure the House leadership knew about the IM's.

Hard to imagine voters across this country voting Democrat because one "R" Congressmen turned out to be a homo who likes 16 year-olds.

Can you document the House leadership's knowledge of the IM's?

You are entirely wrong. They only knew he wrote mildly inappropriate e-mails to pages after they returned home. They were told that the parents just wanted the e-mails to stop and did not want to file a complaint. No one new about the sexually explicite IMs until the other day and then they immediately came down on him. In other words, Foley didn't make any advances on the pages while they were pages, he waited until they returned home before making his moves.
