13. While some of what you say is true . . .
While some of what you say is true, the Foley scandal is as bad as it is because of a lack of leadership. That is a valid campaign issue for the Democrats.

The focus of the anger should not be on Mr. Foley, who can't help what he is and let's hope he now gets the help he needs, but on Speaker Hastert, who calculated that keeping Foley in the House was more important than the safety of teenage boys who came in contact with Foley as the result of being selected to serve in what is supposed to honorable and rewarding experience.
