Just when you thought this was dying down, the Washington Post drags out more anonymous sources to claim Hastert's office knew abot Foley's actions earlier than previously claimed.

The second half of the article speculates about the sudden departure of the former Clerk of the House, Jeff Trandhal in 2005 - the one House official not heard from yet.

Looks like Scott Palmer's denial is changing. Funny how memories change when testimony is under oath. First he denied Fordams claim, now his story is changing. Thats what tesimony under will get you... truthful statements or perjury charges.
It appears his memory is returning.

JMO, this scandal is dying. foley is gone and the democrats look like big hypocrites. Also the loudmouth DC press and lobbying "conservatives" who were looking for Hastert's head, have been quieted also when shown the facts.

Looks like these staffers have a whole lot more authority than they should, so is it a staff scandal now???

But then again we have been instructed since 1993 Clinton policy "DON'T ASK - DON'T TELL".

Bad news for the Lefties and MSM, you can't have it both ways! Either the House leadership ignored or didn't ignore Rep. Foley's penchant for comely pages. Having someone step forward and say that Foley was 'counseled' long before Hastert's office says they dealt with it the first time makes this a matter of how Foley was dealt with, not a matter of cover-up. Of course they will decry the gentle manner in which the situation was handled, but the truth is it was indeed addressed. Perhaps we could learn from the Democrats. Maybe they would be so kind as to point out an instance in which they dealt firmly and publicly with one of their members where 'everyone knew there was a problem."

My anonymous sources tell me that they're sick and tired of anonymous sources.

...a current congressional staff member with personal knowledge of Foley and his behavior with pages said yesterday.

Is this staff member Gay too? It seems that everybody involved in this scandal is Gay!

[justa-hairyape]

Hastert should have told Foley to change parties. That would have solved the issue completely.

Not only is the source anonymous, she comes forward in the early hours of Saturday morning after an evening of partying with her lesbian friends on Capitol Hill.

Is this supposed to be surprising or what?

drip, drip, drip,,,
If these anonymous sources plan on testifying honestly why would they have a problem disclosing their names now since their name will be known anyway? The more they keep this story going with the same old, same old the more people will be turned off of it knowing it's become just a lying political ploy by the MSM. Most people are aware of what happens in the work force when their is inappropriate conduct by an employee, legal or illegal, they get canned and that's what happened here nothing more nothing less.
