I'm not a big fan of Fox News. Don't get me wrong, unlike liberals, I think they have a right to broadcast their news which tends to be pretty biased towards the right, I just decide not to watch it. All very libertarian.
That said, when Fox News says something like this, you know that it's pretty bad for the GOP.
I will blog more on the Foley scandal, but my short take? Hastert should step down. Not for the good of the GOP (even though I'm a Republican and I'm not crazy of having a Speaker Pelosi, I think the GOP needs to have their clock cleaned), but because he was in a position to do something about all of this and didn't. If the situation was reversed, the GOP would demand the head of a Democratic speaker and we should ask for no less.
Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan.
The thing of it is that Republicans will defend Hastert to the end, to the hilt. Still, I do not get how they can. He has not been the best Speaker. I am glad to see a fellow centrist with his head screwed on straight.
