I mean, the guy sent an IM to a 16-year old boy discussing masturbation. You can't spin that away. So Foley has to go. So he goes.
Then we find out that Reynolds and Hastert knew about Foley's interest in pages a year ago and did nothing? How can that be spun to a positive? Can you imagine the exchange?
Reynolds: Uhm, we've got evidence that Foley's an internet pedophile, preying on children that we've brought to Washington.
Hastert: Is that a safe seat?
Seems to me that Reynolds and Hastert both have to give up their leadership positions. How can it be handled otherwise? The party needs the scandal to end right now. They can't afford to have it drag on for the rest of the month, running right up to the election.
Don't you just know that Pat and Jerry and Co., are squiriming right now?
What I've always loved about the GOP is their shining hypocracy. 50-year old "Family values" Senators marry their 25-year old staffers. "Save our children from internet predators" representatives tell 16-year old boys about their erections. And "wag-the-dog, he's lying about his blowjobs" national leaders claim anybody who questions illegal wiretapping or no habeus corpus imprisonments is a traitor and terrorist symp.
But never underestimate these sorry, sorry bastards. They've stolen elections before. It ain't nothing to them to re-program a view touch-screen voting machines.
