Hastert on Foley: 'We Thought It Was Resolved'

Yes, li'l Dennis the Grimace, that's exactly how you deal with a cyberstalker. You bring him in, you look him square in the eye, and you go, "You know all that obsessive perverted control shit you say you're driven to do? Please don't do it anymore." Solves everything.

(CNSNews.com) - Under fire from Democrats and even some Republicans, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called into the Rush Limbaugh show Tuesday to defend Republican leaders' handling of the scandal that led to the resignation of Florida Rep. Mark Foley....

Hastert said Republican leaders were informed of the e-mails and resolved the situation.

"We went to Foley, told him to stand down, don't do this," Hastert said. "We asked him if there was any sexually explicit language in this message, and there was not."

"We went to Foley, confronted him," Hastert said, adding that Foley said "he wouldn't do it anymore."

Damn, if only we'd thought of trying that with bin Laden...

1. Wow, too bad Britain didn't try that with Hitler in 1939!

Of course, it didn't work when MILLIONS told Dubya not to do it in March 2003.

2. Stand DOWN? Is that like a cold spoon in the doctor's office? NT

3. Quick, someone get Denny a bigger shovel!!!!

keep digging your own grave, Denny. Just make damn sure you stretch it out for a while.

4. Crap, my kid is always telling me he's gonna knock off doing whatever

it is he's doing that pisses me off.

And then he does it again.

Foley's no kid.

edit: To point out the obvious, he's no kid but he sure does like 'em.

5. We thought it was resolved == we thought no one knew

ugh :puke:

[MaineDem]

6. You mean Denny DID know about it???

So just what are the lies being told in the past few days?

I swear Republicans can't tell the truth at all.

7. Did he look in his eyes and see

his Soul? (seems to work for shrubbie)

[Jacobin]

8. Oh, so NOW he KNEW about it?

Denny denny denny.

See ya and don't let the door hit you in your fat ass

[IndianaGreen]

9. No shit!

Hastert suddenly remembered he was told about Foley, just as Condi just remembered she was briefed about an impending attack in July 2001.

It's the same line of bullshit being recited by two different people about two different situations.

10. Resolved? Like, did the preacher lay hands on him?

And yell "get thee behind me Satan"?

11. WTF?? So, Hastert DID know about Foley before last week.

I think he put both his feet in his mouth this time.
