"I know Denny. He's a father, teacher, coach; he cares about children..."


WASHINGTON — President Bush on Tuesday backed House Speaker Dennis Hastert's investigation into a former lawmaker's sexually-explicit communications with a teenage male page.

Using the words "disgusted," "disappointed" and "dismayed" to describe his reaction to reports that former Rep. Mark Foley exchanged inappropriate e-mails with a congressional page, Bush stood by the speaker as he launches a probe of the matter.

"I know Denny Hastert. I meet with him a lot. He is a father, teacher, coach; he cares about the children of this country. I know that he wants all the facts to come out," Bush said. "I'm confident he will provide whatever leadership he can to law enforcement in this investigation ... This investigation should be thorough and any violation of the law should be prosecuted."

The president's support came after a newspaper editorial board and a leading conservative critic called on Hastert to resign from his leadership post over his handling of the Foley matter. Hastert's spokesman said Tuesday the speaker is going nowhere. "The speaker has and will lead the Republican conference to another majority in the 110th Congress," Hastert spokesman Ron Bonjean said.

7. "father, teacher, coach--&& he'll pimp them out for $100,000 RNC donation!
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 03:10 PM by kenny blankenship
that's right a mere $100,000 of your constituents' money will get you access to all the pages on Capitol Hill. We grant you protected access to pages and take care of you in de luxe accomodations during your stay; the rest--wink,wink--is up to you!

Come spend 2 years in the United States Congress: because what happens in Congress, stays in Congress. Usually.
