"...where the hell is their righteous anger toward people like Foley?"

An editorial at the Washington Times (conservative paper) calls for the resignation of the Speaker of the House. That's a pretty strong statement...

"The facts of the disgrace of Mark Foley, who was a Republican member of the House from a Florida district until he resigned last week, constitute a disgrace for every Republican member of Congress... House Speaker Dennis Hastert must do the only right thing, and resign his speakership at once. Either he was grossly negligent for not taking the red flags fully into account and ordering a swift investigation, for not even remembering the order of events leading up to last week's revelations -- or he deliberately looked the other way in hopes that a brewing scandal would simply blow away..."

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
