"Republicans Dennis Hastart, Tom Reynolds, John Shimkus, Rodney Alexander, and John Boehner have all been working furiously to get their stories in line after Mark Foley resigned abruptly on Friday. They AP has two stories on the wire. Foley e-mails 1st reported in fall '05 and Democrats see chance in Foley's district (the understatement of the week). Lot's of questions: * It's unclear in the AP, but there appears to be more than one minor involved with Foley. Josh Marshall talks about this late last night, but their hasn't been any follow-up reporting by ABC about whether the other individual in the IM transcript is the same minor, or not. What's the timeline? * Boehner's role in this is unclear, with the WaPost scrubbing quotes of his that have him saying that Hastert assured him "we're taking care of it." * Rodney Alexander was maybe the only one to see the emails, but what about the IM's? Part of the problem here is that mainstream reporters are talking about emails, when it's the IM's that make the case so damning. I'm guessing most of them don't IM? There hasn't been near enough background on the IM's. * John Shimkus hid the information from the only Democrat on the House Page Board. If we had challenger in this race, it'd be on target-rich right now. * Tom Reynolds is probably the most targeted at this moment, particularly by Kildee saying that "any statement by Mr. Reynolds or anyone else that the House Page Board ever investigated Mr. Foley is completely untrue." * Dennis Hastart is showing himself to be totally an out-of-touch fool. He knows according to Boehner and Reynolds, but says he doesn't know."
