House Speaker Dennis Hastert requested Sunday that the Justice Department conduct an investigation (story here) into former Rep. Mark Foley's electronic messages to teenage boys — a lurid scandal that has put House Republicans in political peril.
"As Speaker of the House, I hereby request that the Department of
Justice conduct an investigation of Mr. Foley's conduct with current
and former House pages to determine to what extent any of his actions
violated federal law."
Republican leadership is rushing in to indict and investigate one of their own...Democrats are circling around like sharks when blood is in the water. When Republicans commit a wrong, the leadership rushes in to right the wrong.
Compare that to Democrats when one of theirs commits a sin...Democratic leadership rushes to the nearest media to deny it and suggests a conspiracy by the Republicans.
