Maybe this is why Jeff Gannon spent so much time in the White House? And one hand washes the other. OH, Foley "wasn't honest," and they just took his word for it. Noooooo, they weren't covering anything up or anything. Noooooo, they weren't a bunch of Good Ole Boys or anything.
Foley resigns from Congress amid questions about e-mails to former male page

Quote[/b] ]Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., abruptly resigned from Congress on Friday in the wake of questions about e-mails he wrote a former teenage male page.
"I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent," he said in a statement issued by his office.
Six hours after Foley's resignation letter was read to the House by a clerk, the chairman of a panel that oversees the page program issued a one-page written statement that deflected any blame from House leaders.
The statement from Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill., said the House Page Board he chairs investigated the allegations late last year, but Foley "was not honest" when he denied any improper conduct with the teenager.
The House voted to have its ethics committee consider whether to investigate further.
