Well, well, well. Surely you all have heard the news about Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), who has resigned after his scandalous contacts with an underaged male page were revealed. What a guy. Now it’s surfaced that GOP House leadership, including Speaker Dennis Hastert, may have known of this for almost a year and done nothing. Nancy Pelosi went batshit and got a resolution passed 410–0 ordering an immediate probe of Foley, which under different circumstances might have been exciting for him.
Hold on just a second here, though. Not that I’m trying to be too cynical or reveal my tinfoil-hat tendencies, but has anyone considered that maybe… just maybe… we’re being set up by Karl Rove and the GOP in a Rathergate-type pseudoscandal? The one thing above all else that makes me think this is definitely genuine is that it’s coming out on a Friday. Republicans always let the bad news out on Fridays, since everyone’s out getting shitfaced and weekend stories are stale by Monday morning.
