Resign, Mr. Speaker -
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
The Washington Times (not my choice of reality news) comes out to ask for the wrestler's resignation. Pretty devastating for this Rev. Moon paper to come out against one of their kin.
The facts of the disgrace of Mark Foley, who was a Republican member of the House from a Florida district until he resigned last week, constitute a disgrace for every Republican member of Congress. Red flags emerged in late 2005, perhaps even earlier, in suggestive and wholly inappropriate e-mail messages to underage congressional pages. His aberrant, predatory -- and possibly criminal -- behavior was an open secret among the pages who were his prey. The evidence was strong enough long enough ago that the speaker should have relieved Mr. Foley of his committee responsibilities contingent on a full investigation to learn what had taken place, whether any laws had been violated and what action, up to and including prosecution, were warranted by the facts. This never happened.Other repugs also have issued similar feelings.
I love it when they feed on their own.
.But get ready for the spin. Denny was on Sean's radio show today. Both want to know (in their minds: which dems)who had this information and withheld it until election time. I ask, why did you, Denny, and others not want this disclosed.
LET THE FEEDING FRENZY CONTINUE.
