The ugliest aspect of the Foley thing
is the allegation that the republican leadership conspired to exclude the lone Dem on the page oversight committee from this information a year ago, while leaving Foley to chair the committee on exploited children!

this is sick and twisted by any body's standards!

2. No different than the Roman Catholic Church protecting pedophile priests
I am sad for those children who were victims, and for their families.

3. Yes, and they told him stay away from that boy
How many other boys were exposed to this abuse, now the story is that there were multiple
pages harassed by this man. It's like saying I never said Plame's name and we find out they
said the wife of Joseph Wilson. It's a half-truth like everything else they spew. The
bottom line is that those children were placed in a government program and were supposed
to be protected, instead when abuse occurred, it was about keeping Foley in his seat so
he could support their scummy bills.

4. Where Did THAT Come From?
Okay ... lots happening very fast.

Where is the reference/link to the revelation that the "lone Dem" on the page oversight committee" was NOT told what all the Repugs were told about Foley?

Indeed, that would be dyn-o-mite!

I am ready to predict now, based on what has already been revealed, that Hastert is a goner, maybe Boner, too.

5. just watched all the Sunday morning news shows ...
and thats where I got it. Think it was Russert but I'm not absolutely sure which one it was.
Sorry I'm not computer savy enough to cut and paste or to provide links, but I'm quite sure thats what I heard
