| Bush calls Foley's conduct disgusting |
| 2006-10-12 |
| President Bush on Wednesday called ex-Rep. Mark Foley's approaches to House male pages "disgusting" and backed Speaker Dennis Hastert's efforts to learn how officials handled the problem. Bush's remarks at a White House news conference came as Peggy Sampson, supervisor of the page program, was questioned before the House ethics committee. The panel is not only investigating Foley's inappropriate and sometimes salacious electronic messages to former pages, but whether House officials covered up Foley's come-ons. |

| #1 Foley's conduct was crass, crude and disgusting. Hastert's handling of the situation ineffectual and his carping about the Dhimmis scoring points on his failure was very illadvised IMO. But Ried's land deal was just plain criminal. |
