Even Republican women, were excluded. Women, no matter their political leanings, are far more likely to go ballistic over the exploitation of a child.
That is a sure sign that they knew this was huge, possibly criminal and would damage the Fall elections.
Well it will, now! It had damn well better!
If it doesn't there is something very wrong in this country, beyond the obvious.
The GOP Leadersip should resign, now!

Uh-oh. A second member of the panel which oversees the House page program says she was never told of Foley's emails, despite claims that her board had investigated the matter.
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) says she was 'astounded' to learn of the emails on Thursday. And she says that had she known, she would have done more than Shimkus or other House leaders. Rep. Dale Kildee (D-MI) said on Saturday that he was never informed of the matter.
Now, there are only three lawmakers on the panel. So it appears that Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL), the chair of the board, was not only one of the first in Congress to learn of 'over-friendly' emails from Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) to a page, but the only member of the page board to know. He went to the House leadership with the problem, but apparently kept his fellow page board members in the dark.
