The Repugnicans just get WEIRDER: youtube.com ( It was Reynolds' Page that Foley was pursuing, and the Page brought the complaint to Reynolds ) "The Upstate[NY] media today is all about Tom Reynolds' bizarre press conference yesterday, at which he surrounded himself by small children. At one point, reporters asked if he could make the children leave so they could ask adult questions, and he refused. I found this moment particularly damaging, though, in which Reynolds -- the third-ranking Republican in the House -- says he did what any employee would do with the Foley case: "I took it to my supervisor." Because, you know, he only works here."

What causes the problem is that in many cases the adult is in some position of authority over the adolescent. Agreed. The problem here is that the leadership knew almost a year ago that Foley was sending emails to ex-pages. The parents of one tried to complain, but they were persuaded that the problem was being taken care of. Not only was the problem not being taken care of, Foley was being encouraged to run for election again, although he was thinking of not doing it. Ex pages (likely older and no longer under direct authority would be less of a problem, but still very borderline. Joe
