This kind of thing should not be tolerated anywhere, let alone in the Halls of Congress.

Analysis: What did GOP know about Foley? - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - In a twist on the old Watergate question, the Republican Party is struggling to answer: What did GOP leaders know of a congressman's suggestive exchanges with former pages, all teenage males, and when did they know it?

The truth could determine not only their own political futures but also whether the party can recover from the scandal surrounding former Republican Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) — and manage to remain in power after Nov. 7.

'I don't think this is so much about Foley as it is about the handling of this,' Rick Davis, a Republican strategist, said Monday as the drama rocked the House GOP five weeks before midterm elections, much to Democrats' delight.

'The question becomes who's getting thrown overboard besides Foley to get this to go away,' said Tony Fabrizio, another GOP consultant.
