The House on Friday overhauled the board supervising its teenage pages, responding to a scandal that left youngsters vulnerable to a lawmaker’s sexual come-ons and helped Democrats win control of Congress.The vote was 416-0 to equalize the political membership of the House Page Board, whose Republican chairman never told two board colleagues that he believed — for a year — that Rep. Mark Foley was a “ticking time bomb.”
Actually, the key point—which Larry Margasak, winger tool, omits—is that, although not all Republicans were informed, no Democrats at all were informed. Zero, zip, nada, none.
So, when you hear the word Bipartisan
, think about this:
Republicans didn’t protect children from a sexual predator—just because they were Democrat’s children.
So, if Republicans can’t rise to that basic level of human decency, why should be believe their smooth words about anything?
UPDATE What Glenn said:
The administration, needless to say, has not changed one iota as a result of the election and they will not change one iota unless they are forced to. It remains to be seen whether Democrats are up to that.
Yep. The 100 hours were easy.
