STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) - President Bush said Tuesday he was ``dismayed and shocked'' at disgraced lawmaker Mark Foley's behavior and supports House Speaker Dennis Hastert's call for a full investigation.

``This investigation should be thorough and any violation of the law should be prosecuted,'' Bush said while campaigning for Republican lawmakers in California.

Some, including a Washington newspaper, have called for Hastert to resign, but Bush expressed confidence in the speaker's ability to resolve the matter, calling him a ``father, teacher, coach.''

``I know Denny Hastert. I meet with him a lot. He is a father, teacher, coach who cares about the children of this country,'' Bush said. ``I know that he wants all the facts to come out.''

Bush took no questions. And as he stepped toward his motorcade, the president ignored a shouted question directly asking whether Hastert should resign.

Hastert lied so that a child could be fucked by his buddy... sick bastard.

2. "I know that he wants all the facts to come out..."

Then Fat Hastard should've pulled Foley off the Missing and Exploited Kids committee as soon as he had any inkling of Foley's "over-friendliness" with teenage pages (which, by his own admission, he knew of the "over-friendly" emails months ago.

He did not...:grr:

6. Really Harriet Miers was eminently qualified

Knowing bush is a sign of gross ineptitude at the very least,
more likely, criminal conspiracy, deception and perversion.
