That House leaders knew Representative Mark Foley had been sending inappropriate e-mail to Capitol pages and did little about it is terrible. It is also the latest in a long, depressing pattern: When there is a choice between the right thing to do and the easiest route to perpetuation of power, top Republicans always pick wrong.-- NY Times editorial.

Let's play fair, here. There IS a difference between 'email' and 'instant messages.'
Having said that, it is clear that Foley was, at the best, unstable vis-a-vis young boys of page-age.
Somebody in Hastert's in-house cop-shop SHOULD have smelled something, even if Hastert was too naive (which is a possibility.)
So it depends on what the meaning of e-mail is?
E-mail is e-mail, IMs are IMs ... no one can confuse them unless an attempt is made to deliberately confuse people on the issue.
The Democrats are going to try — and according to Hotline they are — to redefine IMs as e-mail and deliberately confuse and mislead the public as to which is which.
The IMs were not available to anyone other than the Soros thugs who had them until Friday.
I read the e-mails; there was nothing sexually explicit in them.
Apparently Bay Buchanan, not normally one to side against any Republican, disagrees with you, Peter. She said on CNN's The Situation Room, "I know one thing: that e-mail they call an 'overly friendly e-mail' -- that had predator stamped all over it."
Soros thugs?
Come on. Too funny!
The IM's were 3 years old. Who had them and why did they come out now? The emails were delt with, albeit not with a firm hand, but delt with just the same. Foley is where he should be. He might even go to jail, who knows. I just want to know why the emails were found out a year ago and the press said nothing but now weeks before an election, the IM's all of a sudden surface. Can anyone answer that
Sounds like politics to me.
