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...

Somethin smells, but if he did f-up in cover up, then he's gatta go.

Foley didn't even have to go. He left voluntarily. Who "left" when Clinton was discovered getting head from young interns? Even those who suspected Foley's proclivities would have looked awfully foolish if they had tried to have a U.S. congressman removed for suspicion of pedophilia without evidence. The person involved would have to make an accusation that would result in an investigation. I could see the Gay groups now howling to their democrat protectors running to the supportive media screaming which hunt and republican homophobia.

One of the problems about having the Wash Times, Bill O'Reilly, John Gibson, Michael Reagan, Michelle Malkin...

ALL come out this early and say that the GOP leadership in the House should resign..if they had ANY knowledge is, that the Dems on TV..and in campaign speeches..will USE their names...and refer to them over, and over..

No Republican has EVER talked as nicely about Chuck Hagel and Lincoln Chaffee, and John McCain, and Lindsey Graham as much as the DEMS do!!

"Not tonight, I have a hemmorrhoid..."

"And, you know, Tom, isn't it amazing the jam Mark Foley's got himself in! But, you know, I think he's caved a bit early.

Why, my old friend and former colleague from the 10th District down on the Cape, Gerry Studds got into a similar mess back in '83. He'd scored with the sweetest little 17-year-old page boy. It got out somehow and caused a nasty scandal. The Republicans were ecstatic. So, do you think he resigned? Hell, no! He turned his back on the House when they censured him and held a presser with the page to denounce the invasion of their privacy!

And then he got reelected in '84. And '86. And '88, '90, '92, '94, and '96!"

Is that members of this Congress, or an old list?

How has Hastert been a disaster?

[jrooney]

The holding of these IMs and the intentional political leaking only makes me more determined and happy to vote republican. I will not award Pelosi and Reid and their ilk for pulling another Wilson, Plame affair. They can kiss my Irish ass.

I heard tonight that Alberto Gonzalez has said it is too early for the Justice Dept. to get involved....they will wait and see if the FBI finds anything...


Watcha wanna bet THAT gets blown up as BUSH covering for Hastert and the rest??

Drudge is nothing more than an on-line Geraldo. A sensationalist who is out to fatten his back pocket. A gossiper for hire.

[spatso]

"Absolutely not. Foley is one man in a party, he is not the party. The party needs to fight bak against this tar and feathering and follow the popcorn trail to the IM holders. Heads will roll, and they will be Foley and the holders of the IMs and those that knew of them, which are donks."

If it were just about IM's I would agree with you. But, Foley's lawyer is talking about "double life and behavioral issues." In the addictions world that signals acting out in a highly destructive manner. So, you know it is going to involve more than just a few IM's. And, you know the additional information will be coming out very soon.

Excuse me, not the Saturday threads, the FRIDAY thread.

Instantly a Freeper identified the weak spot in this whole thing.

[bray]

Have they asked Rumsfield to resign because of Foley yet??

[Dustbunny]

I am so totally tired of all this garbage I am going to give up reading political articles until after November 8th !!!!!

[jennyjenny]

Thanks for that. I've been trying to get through most of them, but as you know, there are a bunch.

I'll go educate myself ;-)

[Mo1]

They blame Bush every time they stub their toe

I am sick of their BS

[mojo114]

We know now that these emails and IM's are from three year's ago. We do not know if Foley ever acted out personal aggression on any page.
I do know that the Dems in my state, CT, are all over this like white on rice." Oh it is so terrible that the Republicans can't control the House" " We think that Nancy Johnson should come out demand the resignation of the House leadership" BLAH BLAH-
Too much Dem smiley faces going on here tonight!

This whole matter is so damn trivial in the scheme of a war on terror. These Washington Times cowards should be ashamed of themselves.

If the RATs win, Rangel defunds the WOT and Al Queda is strengthened, I hope people remember the traitorous pussies amongst us who lacked the will to FIGHT these vicious bastards across the aisle, who not only don't care about America's children, but push sexual deviacy on them in schools across the nation every single damn day.

[Dustbunny]

or Barney Frank or Ted Kennedy.

[Txsleuth]

I saw that....and I remember thinking at the time...that I wanted to post about that...and see if any other freepers had seen any other articles with that information about Alexander's former staffers...

I forgot about it...I am glad you brought it up...very interesting.

[blogblogginaway]

The St. Petersburg Times had the email asking for a picture a year ago and even interviewed the boy. They were ready to run with the story but the boy refused to go on record and they made the decision to can it based on making accusations by an unmaned source.

Foley going to Scientology rehab?
