Pull up a chair and watch the GOP House leadership try to turn Mark Foley's fiasco into Watergate or Iran-Contra: that is, who knew what and when did they know it?
In essence, Hastert, Reynolds, et al are arguing that they didn't have access to the "sexually explicit" electronic messages Foley sent to underage male pages until after his resignation. Prior to that, they merely knew that he had "overly friendly" communication with the pages.

Which is apparently OK.
To sum up: it is alright for a married, 50 year-old Congressman in the party that practically trips over itself bringing up "family values" every 10 minutes to hit on or otherwise get "overly friendly" with 16 year old boys so long as any communication is not sexually explicit. It's OK to be creepy, just don't leave any smoking-gun evidence. Intellectually, this argument (coming forth from Hastert, Boehner, and Reynolds) means that the leadership is not concerned with whether or not Foley's behavior was inappropriate.

They were concerned about how much evidence he left behind and whether or not they could safely ignore it. Plausible deniability. Iran-Contra.
This is officially gut-check time for the GOP. Do Republican voters hold their party accountable to the family values they hold dear?

Or do they just ignore the fact that their leaders don't give two flying fucks about family values but instead are willing to say, do, and conceal anything and everything in the interest of maintaining power?

I think the answer is obvious – they blame it all on the Democrats and stay the course.

Just for clarification, Foley is not married.
Fancy Dirt says:
Speaking of family values, I've noticed that, especially here in the south, people who feel the need to include the information that they are Christian in the first few sentences they utter, when meeting you, are usually using it as a smoke screen to throw you off the scent of their hypocricy.
If you are a spoliator at heart, just babble on about what a 'holier than thou' person you are and little old ladies will write you checks and people will let you be a scout leader.

Apparently Foley's a Democrat now! Conspiracy theory a-go-go: http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/42851/
