The Foley fallout has prompted some strong language from fellow
conservatives, some of it published today in The
Washington Times. Many of you undoubtedly have seen (because
Drudge
highlighted it) the newspaper’s call for the resignation of House Speaker
Dennis Hastert, but in a news report other conservatives are similarly
outraged, like Richard Viguerie:
“This isn’t an isolated situation,” he said. “It is
only the most recent example of Republican House leaders doing
whatever it takes to hold onto power. If it means spending billions
of taxpayers’ dollars on questionable projects, they’ll do it. If
it means covering up the most despicable actions of a colleague,
they’ll do it. They’ve lost their moral rudder.”
Tough to argue with that, isn’t it?
