Top House Republicans knew for months about e-mail traffic between
Representative Mark Foley and a former teenage page, but kept the
matter secret and allowed Mr. Foley to remain head of a Congressional
caucus on children’s issues, Republican lawmakers said Saturday.

Among those who became aware earlier this year of the fall 2005
communications between Mr. Foley and the 16-year-old page, who worked
for Representative Rodney Alexander, Republican of Louisiana, were
Representative John A. Boehner, the majority leader, and
Representative Thomas M. Reynolds of New York, chairman of the
National Republican Congressional Committee. Mr. Reynolds said in a
statement Saturday that he had also personally raised the issue with
Speaker J. Dennis Hastert.

So top Republican congressional leaders, including the Speaker of
the House and the Majority leader, were aware that this guy was a
pedophiliac, and not only did they not speak up and get rid of the
guy, they allowed him to remain the head of a caucus on children's
issues!
Maybe they're being advised by Catholic bishops?
