HASTERT: Anyone who had knowledge of these instant messages should have turned them over to authorities immediately so that kids could be protected. I repeat again, the Republican leaders of the House did not have them. We have all said so and on the record. But someone did have them.

RUSH: That's right.

HASTERT: And the ethics committee, the justice department, the news media, and anyone who can should help us find out.

RUSH: News media. Ha-ha.

HASTERT: Yesterday I sent a letter to the attorney general requesting that he investigate to what extent any federal laws were violated by Congressman Foley and also to find out who might have known about the sexually explicit instant messages. I was pleased to read in the newspaper this morning that the FBI has begun to investigate.

With all the dee-bags in Washington, the Washington Times goes after Hastert.

Gee, thanks Wash. Times. Things will be some much better now.

If everyone has to resign over ineptness in Congress, we might as well cut off the lights in the House.

I don't care too much for Hastert, but it would be better to call for the resignations of all the worst Demagogues in Congress: Pelosi, Teddy K., Reid, Schroomer, Rangel, Rockefeller, Dodd, Leaky Leahy, etc. etc.

That's the only change that's likely to allow for real improvements......

based on the information known now - this is total nonsense.

the kid logs these IMs, holds them for years, his parents likely knew the contents, somehow they get plugged into the DNC and ABC - so Hastert should resign?

GOP USA Commentary - Who Protected The Pervert Congressman?

Apparently there are quite a few people who have known about Foley, enough that they were warning the pages about him.

No, let's not.

They're certainly not waiting for any facts.

The Congress has elevated itself to the most corruptable body of people in America. The entire roll needs to be removed, the place scrubbed out, term limits put in place, and refill the seats with American patriots.

Damned good idea.

Resign? Why? Did Hastert loan Foley his office closet for a meeting? Sounds like pre election hype and wipe to me.

The current Republican leadership is morally bankrupt.

Exaggerate much?

Based on zero proof of wrongdoing by the speaker.

More "Democrats are worse!" BS.

Corrupt Republicans are just as bad and need to get the heave-ho. I don't care if they do got the magical R after their name.

Probably. Don't confound the Times with the Post. Different papers. Different positions.
