The resignation of Mark Foley is a big deal, not to be minimized, but now Democrats are calling for the head of House Speaker Denny Hastert. Why?
Well, this woman actually says in her blog –
The fact is that the Republican leadership didn’t want to acknowledge the possibility that one of their own was gay (Log Cabin Republicans, notwithstanding) and are now trying to find an excuse for their own inept handling of the situation. Don’t blame Foley’s behavior on his being gay. The man is a sexual predator, the leadership knew it, and they must all be held responsible.
Excuse be, but what kind of crap is that? In one paragraph, she manages to call the Republicans homophobic and dishonest, with absolutely no evidence.
Can anyone yet prove that Hastert or others knew about this inappropriate, (but not illegal as far as I know) behavior?
Was this handled inepty? I don’t know yet. At least Foley had the decency and common sense to resign immediately, which is more thaan can be said for some others.
Where were the calls for the resignation of Tip O’Neil when Democratic congressman Gerry Studds actially had sex with a page after flying him out of the country? For that matter, where were the calls for HIS resignation?
Not only was Studds not forced to resign, but he actually got reelected!
To suggest without proof that Republican leaders had such poor judgement as to cover up for this pervert is simply laughable to me.
However, if it is proven that there was an attempted Republican cover up, then yes, I agree, whoever tried to cover it up should go, for excersising incredible stupidity! But shouldn’t there be some proof first?
What a sad world we live in today…
