WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Republican leaders faced growing pressure over a congressional sex scandal on Tuesday, with Speaker Dennis Hastert rejecting calls to step down amid Republican fears about the potential fallout in November's fight for control of Congress.

The conservative Washington Times newspaper accused Hastert of barely pursuing warnings about Florida Rep. Mark Foley's sexual messages to teenage boys and said in an editorial he "must do the only right thing, and resign his speakership at once."

Hastert has denied any knowledge of Foley's overtly sexual Internet messages to male congressional pages until they were made public on Friday, and he rejected calls for his resignation.

"I'm not going to do that," he said in an interview with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, adding he was trying "to do the right thing."

and HE should resign. I've got an idea, make them ALL resign and "let god sort 'em out". :eyes:

For Denny's CYA, too bad for him, nobody can sew up a big enough canvas to do it.
