Speaker J. Dennis Hastert faced intensifying questions on Monday about why Republicans had not reacted more assertively to Representative Mark Foley’s messages to a teenage page, as members of his party, fearing a political debacle, demanded a strong response.
Mr. Foley, 52, who resigned Friday after being confronted with sexually explicit instant messages he had sent to pages, released a statement saying he had entered a rehabilitation clinic for treatment of “alcoholism and related behavioral problems.” [I DON'T BUY THAT WHOLE ALCOHOLISM BIT. THE GUY'S A PERVERT, AND I'M SURPRISED HE HASN'T ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT ON DATELINE'S TO CATCH A PREDATOR.]
At a news conference in West Palm Beach, Fla., late Monday, Mr. Foley’s lawyer, David Roth, said that Mr. Foley had sent the inappropriate e-mail messages while under the influence of alcohol and that he had kept his drinking problem secret.
A former aide and other associates said in interviews that they did not believe Mr. Foley had a drinking problem. [YEAH, EITHER DO I–SOUNDS LIKE HORESHIT TO ME]
