House clerk testifies on Foley scandal.»

ABC News reports, “Trandahl planned to name Ted Van Der Meid, [Speaker Hastert’s] counsel and floor manager, as the person who was briefed on a regular basis about any issue that arose in the page program, including a ‘problem group of members and staff who spent too much time socializing with pages outside of official duties.’ One of whom was Mark Foley.”

    I’m sure he’ll get dumped soon since it’s everyone else’s fault except for Hastert. Remember, the buck stops at his staff.

    Did everybody see that the priest said Foley has blown it out of perportion, but then again, what does being molested as a kid have to do with being a predator 50 years later. If you guessed zero, you are correct.

    Soon-to-be former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert now has three smash hits on the Top 10 GOP Sound Bites.

    Hastert’s hard-rocking cut “(Democrats) Pamper the Terrorists” from the GOP’s pre-election Geneva Convention Blues release is this week’s new #1. Two singles from the House Republicans’ You’ve Got Male ode to Mark Foley follow close behind. Hastert’s dance remix of Scott McClellan’s 2005 smash hit “Ongoing Investigation,” performed with Ken Mehlman, Tony Snow, Tom Reynolds and John Shimkus, catapulted to #2. Meanwhile, the haunting ballad “Democrats and Soros” comes in at #3.

    For the complete list, see:

    oh, so it’s a “group” now? A group is more than 2 people. We know about Foley and Kolby - who are the others?

    Trandahl is supposedly Gay as well, so why did the GOP put him in the position to watch over the Page program?
