Been hearing a lot around here about how repugs police themselves when their is a need. I don't guess there was a need in this case.

From staff and wire reports
WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers and aides failed for a decade to protect male pages from sexual come-ons by former Rep. Mark Foley — once described as a "ticking time bomb" — but they broke no rules and should not be punished, the House ethics committee concluded Friday.

The committee harshly criticized Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., saying the evidence showed he was told of the problem months before he acknowledged learning of Foley's questionable e-mails to a former Louisiana page. It rejected Hastert's contention that he couldn't recall separate warnings from two House Republican leaders.

Driving up I5 from Bakersfield towards Sacramento I always pass that HUGE cattle ranch next to I5 around 100 miles North of Bakersfield. I'll tell you, man could not exist around there for minutes without an oxygen mask. Yes, I could imagine the impact of those 50 million Bisons stomping around the flatlands back then and their impact on local temperatures.
