I can't believe that Foley wasn't having secret gay sex with SOMEBODY! Maybe young chicken-hawk boy prostitutes he picks up around the DC area?

Let's give the thing some time and SAVOR the developments, leading up to the mid-term elections..

It really hilights the differences between the parties. The Repugnicans have no elected blacks OR open gays in national positions that I'm aware of.

Racist or homophobe? Vote Repugnican..

cj,

If they had taken care of it when Fordham brought it to Hastert's office in 2003, then nothing would have happened.

The thing is that there was apparently no smoking gun. The leaders may have known that he was a closet homosexual, but he didn't apparently do anything that was obviously out of line.

See here:
None of those interviewed said they had received a sexual or suggestive overture from him during their time on Capitol Hill.
washingtonpost.com

So what did they (the house leadership) have to go on? Foley being strange overly friendly? A lot of people are strange and overly friendly. Contacting former pages? It is not House jurisdiction.
