Pelosi: Former FBI Director Wrong Man To Lead Page Program Investigation

(AP) House Speaker Dennis Hastert said Thursday he is looking for a high-caliber figure to step in and fix flaws in the congressional page program that left the teenagers vulnerable to sexual advances.

Hastert was on the verge of naming former FBI Director Louis Freeh, who boasts a long, high-profile career in law enforcement, for the post. But the speaker held off because of objections from Democrats.

Hastert had called House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday to notify her that he intended to hire Freeh to overhaul the program, their aides said. But Pelosi suggested it was too soon to make decisions about changing the program, and that Freeh might be the wrong man for the job.

“That's about public relations for the Republican leaders, it's not about protecting the children,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It smacks of 'blame the victim.'"

Does 'The Screecher of The House' have "veto" power over this pick?

The Pubbies should go ahead and do what they need to do,
what ever it is will be spun by the dems as wrong.

I think an investigation of this will show more dem collusion than they want to see the light of day.

Maddening, isn't it, that Hastert allowed Pelosi the power to block his decision on Freeh? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

The possibility that Republican leaders covered up evidence that Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., was making inappropriate overtures to pages needs to be investigated first, before any changes in the program are considered, said Pelosi spokeswoman Jen Crider.

I'm speechless. They don't even have to pretend that this is not a witch hunt.

[ComputerGuy]

Looks like Pelosi is scared sh!tless about an investigation, especially if it's done right.

“That's about public relations for the Republican leaders, it's not about protecting the children,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said

What a freakin baby.

Whiney babies who don't give a damn about this nation, who don't care about ANYthing but gaining power, all of the dems.

Nancy "Church Lady" Halitosi needs to shut her ugly mouth. The "loony left" seems to have completely forgotten their own misbegotten behavior regarding the Democrat, who was JAILED after having sex with a sixteen year old female page. He was later pardoned by the Clintoon and has led an "illustrious" political career since--by Democrap standards anyway.

When did he do that?

How did she get the right/ability/power to "veto" this Freeh decision?

That's what I thought.

[BallyBill]

I just figured they want to delay any investigation because the story will dry up once it starts and people can't talk about it.

[Darkwolf377]

I hope Hastert's response was "Tough Sh*t". If it was, I hope he makes a press release to that effect.

If trying to smear Hastert as somehow empowering child molestation or whatever isn't enough to get Republicans mad, nothing will.
