Denny Goes Down

No, it hasn't happened yet, but it's coming. Per the NYT:


The House ethics committee Thursday questioned the one-time chief of staff to ex-Rep. Mark Foley [R-"Totally Stiff Wood"], who challenged Speaker Dennis Hastert's [R-So Deep in the Closet I Can't Find the Door] account of his office's first notification of Foley's conduct toward male pages.

Kirk Fordham gave crucial testimony behind closed doors as investigators sought to learn who is telling the truth. Fordham said he gave the information to Hastert chief of staff Scott Palmer in 2002 or 2003, but Palmer has disputed Fordham's account. Hastert's office said his staff was first told about Foley last fall.


Of course, they've got that whole "closed doors" thing goin' again. Time to get out of the closet, guys.

In related news:

House Majority Leader John Boehner [R-Look! The Clenis!] has been invited by the ethics panel to testify, but no date has been set. Boehner has said he informed Hastert about Foley and was told the matter was being handled. Hastert has said he doesn't recall the conversation.


Pass the popcorn. It's gonna be sooooo entertaining to watch the Rethugs turn on each other like the bitchez they are.
