BTW, as the Mark Foley story was stripped bare, we found that Hastert knew more about him than we knew, and he did nothing. Hastert had a couple of homosexual top level assistants, one of them involved in the House page program ~ one of them may have spoken to Foley, but nothing was done.

Foley had his enablers, and they were part of the House management team, so yeah, they were guilty.

Above that, Foley and them and Sen. Craig, and, alas, the RNC chairman, were all guilty, the public sensed that, and we lost the 2006 election and with it control of the House.

And blowing the budget apart and funding bridges to nowhere (nowhere owned by buddies of the appropriator) sure didn't help. There were three or four GOP scandals within a year or two, contrasted with only the James Trafficant and William Jefferson follies on the other side of the aisle. That, and Rahm Emanuel's massive electoral fraud, with phony "Blue Dog" Dims running all over the place who were no bluer than Grigory Zinoviev.
