"I heard Ted Kennedy abused Hastert when he was 11 years old."

Larry, were you in the next room pleasuring yourself when this happened ?

No problem there Ramrod. If they're guilty - let em dangle.

As long as both parties cover up and enable the guilty, then

corruption will persist. Americans would be wise to all register as independants and make the politicians work a little harder for the vote.

This case is more interesting because Foley was supposedly a child advocate and the Republicans are in charge of our country's moral values.

Really now, do we all believe that Hastert's inaction is a conservative/Republican thing? I think if we are to be honest with ourselves we will admit that this is just another event of political self-interest. In the same scenario, our Democrat bastions of piety would likely have committed the same inaction. Forgive my cynicism, but I have little respect for the ethical/moral behavior of most Washington cronies. Does this mean we should trash the political system? Not by a long shot. Just understand the political motivations and manage accordingly.

Hey Slope, that liberal rag The Washington Times is saying today that Hastert should resign. Maybe you could email them your list of "complete facts". Perhaps they would find it helpful.

" The complete facts." ?????????

Here are complete facts. Email vs IM:

E-mails vs. instant messages

Hastert, who did not take questions from reporters, called on any person who was aware of the 2003 instant messages to speak to law enforcement authorities. He said no Republican leader in Congress was aware of those exchanges until Friday, when ABC News reported it had questioned Foley about them.

Leadership officials had been aware since last year of the 2005 e-mail exchange, which they described as "overly friendly" but did not include overtly sexual references. They said they did not follow up on them other than to instruct Foley to not communicate with the Louisiana page.

Slope, don't you think that guys like Hastert knowing that Foley had kiddie issues, and still letting him keep his position as the head of a Congressional caucus on children's issues, is somewhat…..how you say……problematic ?

That some politicians like little boys and others like little girls.
