Especially since Hastert had his staff put out a statement last night that he knew nothing about it.

paging gerry studs and barney fag, er frank.
How come its ok for queer dems?
This is rich. The party that circled the wagons around President Clinton are now attacking Hastert for not exposing Foley.
If Hastert loses the house. It will be his fault.
do these guys not understand the double standard they must face in the press? especially with an impending election season, how exactly did they come to the conclusion that foley's boy lust should just be ignored?
Wonder if the parents will now be singing a different song.
Why are they getting so upset about this but nothing is done about Barney Frank and Gerry Studds and the rest of the out-of-the-closet sickos who also have access to the pages?
The St Pete Times had the emails in August 2005 , too, and did nothing presumably for the same reason no oneon the Hill did--the emails are a bit creepy but not illegal and the biy's[arents wanted nothing done about it.
OTOH the IM's are over the line. Those were released by CREW, the "public interest" group fronting Wilson/Plame's laughable civil suit against Cheney et al. When did they get them? Did they share them with anyone? Why did they wait until now to make them public?
Don't let yourself be played yet again by these masters of deceit.

They can't easily go witch-hunting now.
If anybody saw an email, text message or IM from Foley which mentioned anything near 'what are you wearing?' then they should have immediately pulled him in and told him he needs to resign before they out him themselves. This is a safe GOP district as long as we don't have a queer pedophile (express the possible redundancy) as a candidate. Its incredibly transparent that any delays in dumping this predator were political calculations about keeping the House majority.
Popcorn!!!!
Pubbies are throwing each other under the bus.
Dems couldn't have planned it any better, had they tried.
Get out of the way -- Pubbies are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, again.
Ok now everybody on the count of three let,s all go after Speaker Dennis Hastert, ready?...One, Two...Three
I'll wait for the rest of the story. Perhaps someone is not telling the truth of who knew what, when, and about who, but we should be slow to judge anything coming out by the MSM during this election year.
Two things ~ folks do distrust gay guys when it comes to kids, and folks do make up stories about them.
With the kid's parents not wishing to pursue the matter, sounds like the only thing that counts is what the guy actually said in e-mails and in "instant messaging".
Might be time to set a new standard for Congress ~ that no homosexuals may serve in the House. Keep them away from ALL the pages.
Wouldn't the head of the Republican election effort by necessity have to work closely with the RNC?
I wonder if Kenny plays the fiddle? If so he can play a somber (show)tune whilst the G.O.P. burns.
It has not been a good week.
At this point who's to know it wasn't anymore than a few dirty jokes that past between them? The parents don't seem to be too upset.
