Speaker Hastert Failed To Act On Page Scandal Because He Was 'Intimately Linked' To Foley



According to Capitol Hill sources, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert failed to act on the Mark Foley matter because he was engaged in a sexual relationship with the Representative.

"Yeah, it's true," an aide to a mid-west congressman admitted to All This Is That. "The Speaker has apparently been putting the wood to Mark Foley for a while now. And when this whole mess came up, it was a little awkward. To say the least. But not as awkward as it would become."

"One of the Speaker's aides told me," he continued. "It was rumored all over The Hill. And let's face it, you're a lot safer having sex with a congressman than you are with a pickup or escort, or intern. Whatever. No way in hell will the Congressman out you."

"You're just not going to
bust someone you've
been schtupping are
you? "


Another aide said "Yeah, Hastert sat on his hands when he heard the Foley stories. It was a conflict of interest. You're just not going to bust someone you've been schtupping are you? Anything other than benign inaction would have brought Hastert down too. Somehow when the whole thing blew up last week, Foley went down like a good soldier. He could have taken the scorched earth option. . .and he didn't."

A former aide to Speaker Dennis Hastert told All This Is That "What saved Denny's ass is that the the mid-terms are so close. Half the Hill knows why he let the Foley matter slide, but if they do anything at all it's means we lose a few more seats. . .and, as you know, we no longer have seats to lose. Foley doesn't have anything to lose, but then do you really want to advertise the fact that the Speaker's been rogering you?"
