From the Wall St Journal today 5 Oct 2006:

"An aide to disgraced ex-Rep. Foley quit and said he first warned Hastert aides more than three years ago about his boss's worrisome conduct toward young congressional pages, and had 'more than one conversation' with senior House Republican staff ' asking them to intervene."

As a result Hastert "ran into new setbacks in his battle to hang on as speaker".

Gee, we haven't heard from pdq in a while--or Doug R., hubby, Old Guy or Mr. Bush's other stalwart supporters at all on this topic. Can't understand why.




At this point even starting a war will not save the Bushites. Even the sheep-like US electorate has learned--only if it is a clear reaction to another clear attack--with an obvious culprit.   Fool me once, shame on you.....
