"And don't pretend to tell me what Hastert knew or didn't know. Either he knew about this early on (I believe he did), & did nothing to protect the children, OR he didn't know about it when everybody else knew, making him incompetent to be a leader, ie., clueless."

But do you not feel that there should be some proof that he covered up before you call for his head?

Of course not. The Speaker of the House should be booted on any whiff of accusation. Don't you know we are Republicans and we eat our own? /sarcasm

I didn't call for his head. The only resignations I called for were in my last statement: "Anyone & everyone of either party who knew of Mark Foley's predation on children prior to this becoming public should resign immediately."

This is because they knowingly allowed at least one pedophile to prey on the house pages - children. I'm guessing there are more.

As for Hastert, playing dumb doesn't cut it with me. He's too powerful for that, & pols couldn't keep a secret about their own sister.
