You're right! Hastert thought he had this "handled" months ago. WRONG! This is the kind of leadership the country needs??? He//, the Republican leadership in Congress can't deal with problems in its own ranks, can't deal with the opposition party and we're supposed to expect them to deal with the islamic attempt at world domination???
Give me a break!
How about Nancy Pelosi gives you Hastert's head on a plate at her inaugural as the new Speaker of the Huse instead?
Why change leadership in response to a dem/gay activist plot right before the election? If the leadership is ineffective, why not wait until after the election?
From what I have been able to gather, Hastert "handled" a situation where Foley had send "overly friendly" emails to a former page from Louisiana. The emails were not explicit, just too friendly for the young man's tastes.
Foley was admonished. He hadn't broken any laws, and hadn't done anything bad enough to be removed from office.
So Hastert is guilty of responding to a situation in proportion to the parameters of the situation as he knew them?
If you are disappointed in Hastert, say why. And if it's because of his handling of the Foley debacle - get a grip!
