Now it seems that because they were young teen BOYS it's a GAY issue and not *as inappropriate*. GIVE ME A BREAK! When someone abuses the public trust and performs an ILLEGAL ACT it doesn't matter if the underage person he has approached (and possibly abused) is male or female. The other SPIN is that the of the timing. I've got news for you. If these kids worked as House Pages it's assumed they're in that program because they're the best and brightest, and they're angry with Foley for this abuse of trust and position, then the timing could have been very deliberately calculated BY THE KIDS to wreak maximum damage on the people who didn't lift a finger when told about this two years ago. And quite frankly I can't say I blame them. Blaming this one on the Dems is not going to cut it. And yes, fire Hastert and anyone else who didn't speak up about this. And the ones who did tell him and got no response should have gone over his head and called in law enforcement. There is NO excuse for this.
