WASHINGTON - House Speaker Dennis Hastert brushed aside resignation talk Tuesday, even as the Republicans' No. 2 House leader contradicted him in the page scandal.

President Bush gave Hastert a vote of confidence as the party struggled to contain pre-election fallout.

***Bush, Bush, your administration is falling apart, and you are making excuses for the blithering idiots and corrupt sleazes you have surrounded yourself with.

Hastert, an Illinois Republican, said he wouldn't resign as speaker, the top official in Congress and second in the line of succession to the presidency, in the controversy over Rep. Mark Foley's salacious computer exchanges with former pages. Foley resigned last Friday.

"I'm not going to do that," Hastert said when asked by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh whether he would resign.

***Who would have you on his show but a slime-ball like Rush Limbaugh?

Hastert sought to blame Democrats for leaking sexually explicit computer instant messages between Foley and former pages from 2003.

"We have a story to tell, and the Democrats have — in my view have — put this thing forward to try to block us from telling the story. They're trying to put us on defense," Hastert said.

***The "story" you would tell would be full of lies. The Neo-Cons knew that Foley was a pedofile since last November of 2005, but tried to hush it up. This makes all you neo-cons just as sleazy as Foley. You weren't interested in protecting our children from the likes of Foley, only interested in controlling the house.

"It's absolutely not true," said Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., at an event in Sunrise, Florida. Pelosi said it was too early to call for Hastert's resignation pending an Ethics Committee investigation.

***Nancy, Nancy, can you not see how stupid you are?

ABC News, which first reported the exchanges, says they were provided to it by former pages. It said its initial report last Thursday about e-mails between Foley and a Louisiana teenager prompted other former pages to come forward with more sexually graphic electronic messages.

***But the Democrats are blamed for the leaks. CON, CON, and more CON!!!

ABC News said Tuesday it had obtained additional instant messages.

"Can I have a good kiss goodnight," Foley was said to have messaged in one. A boy responded with cyber symbols and "kiss>."

In another message, Foley invited the teenager to his Capitol Hill town house "for a few drinks" even though he knew the boy was under the legal drinking age. "we may need to drink at my house so we dont get busted," Foley messaged.

***You got busted anyway, you pedofile!

Foley's attorney, David Roth, said at a news conference in West Palm Beach, Fla., that he had no reason to believe that Foley "ever had teenage boys at his house to have alcohol."

***How would you know, Mr. Roth?

Roth said Foley, 52, had himself been molested between the ages of 13 and 15 by a clergyman but added that Foley had never had sexual contact with a minor. He said Foley, who had kept his sexual orientation private, wanted people now to know that he is gay.

***No, he is NOT gay. Gays are NOT pedofiles, and don't go around molesting children. He is a PEDOFILE, that's why Bush put him in charge of the program to begin with. Bush Sr. is a well-known pedofile, which might explain why Bush Jr. thinks nothing of this, and was even thinking this is a good "position" for Foley.

The House ethcis committee, meanwhile, scheuled its first meeting on Foley's actions for Thursday, in closed session. The House voted last Friday to direct the ethics panel to inquire into the matter.

***What a government? ONLY in AMERICA.

Hastert told reporters on Monday that he was not aware of the complaint against Foley until last Friday. He acknowledged his staff was made aware of it last fall, but he said there was "no reason to bump it up to me at that time."

***Are you freakin' kidding me? No reason?

However, both Majority Leader John Boehner and New York Rep. Tom Reynolds, who heads the House Republicans' re-election campaign, said they had spoken with Hastert about a complaint concerning a former page from Louisiana last spring after being told about it by Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-La., who had sponsored the teen.

***So this proves Hastert is a LIER.

"I believe I talked to the speaker and he told me it had been taken care of," Boehner said in an interview Tuesday on radio station WLW in Cincinnati. "My position is it's in his corner, it's his responsibility."

***Sleaze has become a way of life in American politics, that' why these people can't tell right from wrong.

Reynolds insisted several times in a Monday night news conference in his Buffalo-area district that "I took it to the speaker" this spring when Alexander also mentioned the inappropriate e-mail to him.

***And you are still on the Republican re-election commitee. What does that say about YOU, Reynolds?

Foley, R-Fla., resigned abruptly on Friday after being confronted with the 2003 instant message exchanges. He has since checked into an alcohol rehabilitation program at an undisclosed location.

***I guess saying he's GAY didn't go down so well, so now you are going to wash it away with "alcohol".

His departure left behind a trail of questions concerning the e-mails and instant messages he had sent pages over an extended period of time. Beyond the details of his actions, Republican leaders fear the impact on the Nov. 7 elections, and the possible loss of their House majority.

***Your house is tumbling down, CONS, even without the voters.

Bush weighed in for the first time Tuesday. Speaking at a Stockton, Calif., elementary school, he said he was disgusted by the Foley revelations and voiced support for Hastert.

***How can Bush be disgusted with Foley if he is giving his support to Hatert, who LIED about the PEDOFILE Foley for nearly a year, and kept it HUSH HUSH?

"I know that he wants all the facts to come out," the president said.

***Yeah right! Just like you wanted all the facts to come out about the Iraq war.

Meanwhile, The Washington Times, a newspaper with a consistently conservative editorial page, called for Hastert's resignation Tuesday, saying he was either grossly negligent "or he deliberately looked the other way in hopes that a brewing scandal would simply blow away."

***YEP!

Conservative activist Richard A. Viguerie kept up the drumbeat from the right, calling for Hastert to step down. "The fact that they just walked away from this, it sounds like they were trying to protect one of their own members rather than these young boys," Viguerie said on Fox News' "Studio B."

***What else can they say to save their rear-ends?

But the Christian Coalition weighed in with a letter saying the organization "stands behind" Hastert.

***Of course, it is a coalition of Christian liars, cheats and scumbags for Jesus.

The Arlington Group, a coalition of 70 conservative groups, said, "We are very concerned that the whole truth concerning this episode be reported, including when House leadership or other members from either party knew of this situation."

***The Arlington Group is the HEAD of PEDOFILES in America.

Boehner and Reynolds said that while they learned of overly friendly e-mails from Foley to the one Louisiana page this spring, they had no idea that the congressman had sent other, sexually explicit messages, to additional pages.

***You people DON'T deserve your paychecks for sleeping on the job!

Neither lawmaker said they read the 2005 message from Foley, described as "sick" by the boy. The message asked for a photograph and mentioned a different teen who was in "great shape."

***Why bother reading it? Why bother reading the Warren Commssion Report, the Nie Report, or anything that comes to your desk?

The FBI announced over the weekend it was opening a preliminary investigation into the matter, but that, like much else, was a matter of confusion.

***That's because the FBI, the CIA, and the entire government of the United States is SICK.

One law enforcement official said the FBI originally was given some Foley-related e-mail correspondence in July, but concluded that no federal law had been violated.

***See what I mean?

The agency reopened its preliminary investigation Sunday.

***Don't bother yourselves, please. Sunday is a REST day, and lord knows you need all the rest you can get.

Separately, Kirk Fordham, a Reynolds aide who was a longtime former aide to Foley, told The Associated Press of counseling Foley on Friday on how to deal with the developing story.

Fordham said when he learned the details of some of the instant messages, he confronted Foley.

"I said: 'Are these authentic?' and he said 'probably' and he confirmed that they were likely his instant messages," Fordham said.

***As he sipped his drink non-chalantly

Reynolds immediately said Foley had to resign and GOP campaign aides drafted a resignation letter.
