Boehner Says Leadership Knew About Foley

Apparently the "revelation" that Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) is a sexual predator was known to the Republican leadership by at least last spring. These depraved scumbags will let a sexual predator continue to work in Congress? What the fuck is wrong with these people? They don't have enough sense to know that this sick bastard doesn’t belong in Congress? This guy was chasing teenage boys! He does not have the sense to be writing our laws. The Republican leadership is so corrupt and immoral they didn’t even force Foley to quit. Rep. Foley Quits In Page Scandal Explicit Online Notes Sent to Boy, 16 By Charles Babington and Jonathan Weisman Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, September 30, 2006; A01 Six-term Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) resigned yesterday amid reports that he had sent sexually explicit Internet messages to at least one underage male former page. Foley, who was considered likely to win reelection this fall, said in a three-sentence letter of resignation: "I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent." The resignation rocked the Capitol, and especially Foley's GOP colleagues, as lawmakers were rushing to adjourn for at least six weeks. 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.). Boehner later contacted The Post and said he could not remember whether he talked to Hastert. Then he changes his story. BULLSHIT!!! Story At The Washington Post
