Everyone knew that Foley was gay and was asking young male pages for pictures and buying them gifts. What else did they need to know. Hastert should have taken him behind closed doors and told him to resign or be publicly disgraced.
How did "everyone" know he was asking male pages for pictures and buying them gifts? Only the boy, Foley and their representative saw the emails. While Foley did ask what he wanted for his birthday there was never any indication he bought the kid anything. Hastert should've asked him to resign because of emails that asked for a picture and what he wanted for his birthday? That's absurd! We're dealing with reality here, not dem talking points.
If you think the feigned "outrage" we're seeing over Foley is bad, just realize that it would pale in comparison to the relentless sh!t the media would dump on Hastert after the scenario you suggested was spun by the Democrats as a homophobic outing of a fine Congressman.
