According to Hotline, the current Republican response to the Mark Foley mess is something like this:
- We’ll punish whoever had the IM transcripts (media, unnamed democrats)
- This is the fault of the guy who used to be Rodney Alexander’s Chief of Staff when Rodney Alexander was a Democrat, two years ago. ERGO: DEMOCRAT’S FAULT.
Bob Novak is claiming that even post-creepy emails (remember: not only did the entire House Republican leadership know about them by this point, but something like 400 news organizations had been forwarded them), NRCC head Tom Reynolds encouraged Foley to run for reelection — this could just be another shot in the unusually public intraparty Reynolds/Hastert battle.
After the jump, more Foley stories, plus another funny video from those wacky kids who did yesterday’s dramatic reading.
