FoleyGate

Perhaphs this will not be as big as WaterGate, but the impact still will be like a Richter 8. And just as luck would have it, some of these guys are up for re-election. From the SF Chronicle:

Speaker Dennis Hastert, Majority Leader John Boehner and House GOP re-election chair Tom Reynolds had apparently known about Foley's e-mails for months, perhaps since late last year. The question is which e-mails.

If anyone in Washington knew the contents of the more graphic e-mail exchanges and did not contact authorities -- their careers are over. That would include Hastert or any other member of Congress. No amount of spin will explain how an adult could place the interests of a friend, a political ally, or their party's majority over the safety of an underage page.
