You have to like that the Republicans are trying to blame the Democrats and, yes, Bill Clinton...
From CNN:
WOLF BLITZER: Some Republicans, including Hastert, are going on the offensive, saying Democrats and the news media are behind the spreading scandal. Let's bring in CNN's Mary Snow. She's in New York. She's watching this part of the story. Mary?
MARY SNOW: Well, Wolf, the House speaker is pointing fingers at Democrats over the scandal, suggesting the news was politically timed to coincide with November's elections. And those who are being blamed are now firing back. As pressure builds around House Speaker Dennis Hastert, the Republican leader is blaming political opponents for the widening scandal surrounding Mark Foley. He tells the Chicago Tribune, "The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives. People funded by George Soros." In the same interview, Hastert said political operatives aligned with former President Clinton are also behind the Foley story getting out. But at a press conference today, Hastert stuck to generalities.
DENNIS HASTERT: Our friends on the other side of the aisle really don't have a story to tell, and maybe they're resolving to -- another way to -- to another political tactic.
But at a press conference today, Hastert stuck to generalities.
Technically, it's more like sticking to inarticulateness.
Should we conclude that ABC News
shouldn't
have investigated the story if they were conservative Republicans?

Damn, somebody must have told him was a half-step away from blaming a "vast left-wing conspiracy".
Pat Buchanan was on some 24 hrs news network last night spouting off about how this is all the media's fault. I didn't listen to all of it, but basically he was arguing that if the media knew about this for a year they should have done something about this and because they didn't it's all their fault.
Oh, and I meant for my first post of the day to be more cheery than that.
Happy Birthday, SailAweigh!!!

Cool! So it's all Fox's fault.
(Yes, Fox knew about it for at least a year.)

Ehh, Gingrich already did just that. Hastert's just leaving it to the experts.
“I’m looking at the data,” said Ron Luce, who organized the meetings and founded Teen Mania, a 20-year-old youth ministry, “and we’ve become post-Christian America, like post-Christian Europe.
Thank God.
Heh. I was thinking more like "not fast enough".
And I was thinking, "Since WHEN?" Because it's still Jesusland here in Ohio.
Ohio is where Christian teenagers move to when they get tired of being in a minority.
