6. Results as of when i voted.

As the Foley scandal reverberates on Capitol Hill, do you think House Speaker Dennis Hastert should resign?

74.0%
Yes. He can't credibly lead an investigation that will inevitably look into his own inaction.

9.4%
Yes. He should have resigned a long time ago, but not over Foley.

11.2%
Maybe. It depends on how much he knew.

5.3%
No. He didn't act because there was no conclusive evidence of misconduct by Foley until ABC News' report.

7. Remember on 9/11 when he thought he might be president?

3rd in line after Bush and Cheney. Scary.

8. Oh Christ- "(Foley) was known to have an interest in younger men"

Younger men. That is the most polite formulation of the words possible. "Younger men" could be 35 year old construction workers.

"Young men" would've been a more accurate description, and "young boys" would be yet more accurate.

"Younger men". What a joke.

11. I find it hard to believe Reynolds didn't know about it......

because Fordham, who previously worked for Foley and went along to keep him out of trouble, became Reynolds Chief of Staff. Reynolds must have known more than he is admitting.
