Foley 52, resigned Sept. 29 after ABC News questioned him about sexually explicit messages sent to male pages. His lawyer said that Foley denied any sexual contact with minors and has checked into a rehabilitation center for treatment of alcoholism. Hastert suggested to the Chicago Tribune that Democrats aligned with former President Bill Clinton might have participated in pushing the disclosure of the e-mails in advance of the elections, without offering proof. The Hill, a newspaper that circulates on Capitol Hill, said that the person who gave the news media Foley's 2005 e-mails was a Republican aide, not a Democrat.

ABC News, which originally reported on Foley's e-mails, received them from a non-partisan source, the network has said.

This is great for those country people who live up here where I do as this is the only station they watch. AND there have been no retractions. Now, Hasted is saying it was probably the Democrats released the information on Foley at this time........as a political move. I cannot believe that people will stoop so low.

Norm Ornstein of the AEI, no less, really took off on Hastert at the end of Moyer's PBS expose last night when he described how Hastert had diminished the House Ethics Committee after it had just begun to peek into the DeLay corruption. Yup, the Repug sleaze ball politicians such as Norm Coleman want to investigate the long gone UN Oil for Food programs while the really slimy use of American dollars in DC reaches epidemic proportions under this most corrupt of administrations. No wonder the country's cynicism is at an all time high.
