None of this stuff surprises me anymore...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. — Democrats expressed outrage today that Republican leaders had waited nearly a year to tell them about e-mails between Representative Mark Foley and a former teenage page, allowing the Florida Republican during that time to remain head of the Congressional caucus on children’s issues.

“This should be investigated objectively. I think the Democratic leadership should have been told 10 months ago,” Representative Jane Harman of California, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on “Fox News Sunday.”

Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic leader, said in a letter to the House Ethics Committee that it was “abhorrent” that House Republican leaders had known of Mr. Foley’s contacts with the page for a number of months “and that apparently no action was taken to protect these underage children,” Reuters reported. Ms. Pelosi said it was vital that the committee immediately question House Republican leaders under oath.

The fact that Bill Clinton was impeached for getting a hummer in the White House, from a consenting adult, and yet this kind of crap, can be hidden for months make that YEARS, by some of the same people who impeached him, is just sickening...

But so is the Conservative/Family Values set's reaction to it...

While the MSM echoes liberal talking points on the Mark Foley scandal, asking what did Republicans know and when did they know it, a curious detail was left out. The editors of the St. Petersburg Times in Florida reveal that the media has also knew about this story for quite some time, but did nothing about it.

So let me see if I got this right... The fact that Foley was having Gay Hotchat with teenages Pages, is all the Media's fault... Yep, that makes a lot of sense in the alternate universe that these people occupy. Well it's good to see the GOP Blog Machine is still staying, "on message," even when it is one this f***king stupid.

Thank God, there remains at least ONE Conservative Blogger who retains a shred of credibility...
Of course we can allways depend on Fox news to assist with spin control... Man this guy is a dirtbag. Meanwhile... GOP Leaders come clean, that they have known about this for months... Still wondering why they had not done anything about it.

WASHINGTON (AP) - GOP leaders admit their offices have known for months that a Florida Republican congressman was sending inappropriate e-mails to a boy who had worked as a page in the House of Representatives. The office of House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who earlier said he'd learned about the e-mails only last week, acknowledged that aides referred the matter to the authorities last fall. They said they were only told the messages were "over-friendly." Rep. Thomas Reynolds, who heads the House Republican election effort, said Saturday he told Hastert months ago about concerns that a fellow Republican lawmaker, Rep. Mark Foley, had sent inappropriate messages to a teenage boy. Reynolds, a Republican from New York, is defending himself from Democrats who say he did too little to protect the boy. Foley quit Congress on Friday after ABC News questioned him about the e-mails to a former congressional page and about sexually suggestive instant messages to other pages. "The improper communications between Congressman Mark Foley and former House Congressional pages is unacceptable and abhorrent. It is an obscene breach of trust," Hastert, R-Ill., Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said Saturday in a written statement.
