And We Wake Up To Yet More News That Republicans Are A Duplicitous Bunch Of Sleazebags!
House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) told The Washington Post last night that he had learned this spring of inappropriate "contact" between Foley and a 16-year-old page. Boehner said he then told House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.).
So at least two of them already knew. Exactly how do you sleep at night when you are helping a pedophile cover up his misdeeds? Soulless is the only word that comes to mind, because decent people wouldn't be able to stomach such despicableness!
Found via the Washington Post.
Update: 9:37 am: There is more over at RollCall:
At least four Republican House Members, one senior GOP aide and a former top officer of the House were aware of the allegations about Foley that prompted the initial reporting regarding his e-mail contacts with a 16-year-old House page. They include: Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.) and Reps. Rodney Alexander (R-La.) and John Shimkus (R-Ill.), as well as a senior aide to Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) and former Clerk of the House Jeff Trandahl.
Boehner says it isn't true, but he's such a fine upstanding citizen so we just have to take his word don't we?

Isn't this just disgusting? Of course you want the GOP to crash and burn but not like this. I'm utterly appalled.

I am too. I'm just so at a loss as to how they could have willingly covered this up as they appear to have done. It just boggles the mind that people are that evil!!
