WASHINGTON TIMES ON TUESDAY WILL CALL FOR SPEAKER HASTERT'S RESIGNATION, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING... Editorial titled: 'Resign, Mr. Speaker': 'House Speaker Dennis Hastert must do the only right thing, and resign his speakership at once... Mr. Hastert has forfeited the confidence of the public and his party, and he cannot preside over the necessary coming investigation, an investigation that must examine his own inept performance'... -- Washington Times, October 3, 2006...
But also on a serious note, I haven't visited their website in a long time, IMO, this editorial is a desperate stunt for attention and affection from the MSM.
"Frist is leaving at the end of this year anyway..but HE has nothing to do with the House"
I think the freeper was referring to Frists weak Senate leadership in general.
Which, many including myself agree with.
Wow, some Conservatives finally stood up!
Have you not been paying attention the past 5 years? I would LMAO at your smug and flippant attitude, but I'm all out of patience. Argue your points and contemplate your navel. Both are a futile waste of energy and offer no solution to the real problems we face.
you are correct
They will lose, if conservatives don't get stupid just because of the immoral idiocy of some stupid RINO.
You're right Mark. I'm sure the morning shows will be a real hoot with the MSM "discovering" the WT.
Out of chaos will come clarity.

Money found in congressmans freezer: Leadership statement
"There are bigger issues at stake here.
Ah...N0..theres not.
WITHOUT the Democrats this time.
Oh please. Take your Civil War II crap over to Liberty Post.
To urinate on some good Republicans.
I never did thnk much of Blankley. The whole bunch are much too much inside the beltway to be of interest.
I can spot the trolls on this thread trying to demoralize us. Like you, I will definetely vote republican and this only makes me more determined. Heh Kos kiddies and trolls here acting like conservatives: everyone I know, family and friends alike are voting a straight republican tickets. Better stock up on your meds and make your psych appointments, call the suicide hotlines, etc. because you will need it. We do not take our ball and go home like you cowards. We understand the dangers of you and will vote in larger quantities than you can convene, even with your dead included.
Maybe Drudge is the Walter Cronkheit of our times after all.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
More likely, drudge is a journalist for hire, a media whore, like armstrong williams, the management at clear channel, and a long list of "left leaning" media outlets.
Do you think there are more IM's/emails to other pages? This says there wEre lots of IM's sent to teenage "pages" ... with an 's'.
Foley's Showdown With ABC
On Friday afternoon, a strategist for Rep. Mark Foley tried to cut a deal with ABC's Brian Ross.
The correspondent, who had dozens of instant messages that Foley sent to teenage House pages, had asked to interview the Florida Republican. Foley's former chief of staff said the congressman was quitting and that Ross could have that information exclusively if he agreed not to publish the raw, sexually explicit messages.
"I said we're not making any deals," Ross recalls. He says the Internet made the story possible, because on Thursday he posted a story on his ABC Web page, the Blotter, after obtaining one milder e-mail that Foley had sent a 16-year-old page, asking for a picture. Within two hours, former pages had e-mailed Ross and provided the salacious messages. The only question then, says Ross, was "whether this could be authenticated."
The St. Petersburg Times last fall obtained the earlier e-mail, asking the 16-year-old for a picture, and interviewed the boy, who wrote a friend that he considered the message "sick." But the boy would not go on the record.
Executive Editor Neil Brown says the paper's policy against making accusations based on unnamed sources was a factor. "We just didn't feel like we had the story," he says. "We had a lot of stuff implied. . . . If I had it to do over again, I think we probably would have been more organized about pursuing it. But hindsight is 20/20."
The paper did interview Foley, who assured a reporter that the e-mail exchange was innocent, Brown says

I don't think so...in fact, before this story broke, I saw an interview with him, asking if he still wanted to be Speaker of the House...and he said "yes"...
After this last few days...I wouldn't blame him if he did....jeez louise, what a h*llhole Congress can be.
If the Rats get ahold of Congress, higher spending will be the least of your worries as we'd all be speaking Arabic and praying to Allah.
