Pelosi:Statement on Ethics Committee Report on Foley Scandal

"Its is deeply troubling that the Ethics Committee has found that the failure of the Members and staff responsible for safety of the young men and young women who serve as pages is, not merely the exercise of poor judgment; it is a present danger to House pages and to the integrity of the institution of the House."

"As a mother and as a leader in Congress, protecting the young people who serve as pages is a high priority. Members of Congress have a responsibility to protect their employees, especially young pages who serve this institution so well.

"For more than 150 years, young men and women from across the nation have come to Washington to serve as pages in the U.S. Capitol. The Page School is a national treasure, and the young people who attend it and work in the Congress are our Special trust. We must do all we can to protect them."

1. They hurried like hell to come to this conclusion before the Dems got the gavels

Foley must know where a LOT of bodies are buried....

3. That is the truth like Rove's people

2. I hope this will be revisited.

This is a serious matter.

[GenDem]

4. These findings are simply unacceptable

I am also hoping that the dems look into this further in the new year.

This was obviously a cover-up by the republican leadership...to say they were negligent, but broke no rules. :shrug: Sounds like we need some new rules.

5. Again the Republicans

moved the bar again, white wash of an investigation, and results...not even so much as a smack on the wrist.


Just like with DeLay, as now.
