WTF Is It Now?!?

Karl Rove forced pederast to run
Whoa, this is big - looks as though the White House itself put the party over country, kids, ethics...

It seems increasingly clear that the GOP, eager for every safe incumbent in the House to run for re-election, looked the other way as evidence accumulated that Mark Foley had a thing for pages. Holding onto his seat became more important than confronting him over his extracurricular activities...

In early 2006 Foley had decided to retire from the House and become a lobbyist - then Karl stepped in. With big black jackboots.

According to the source, Foley said he was being pressured by "the White House and Rove gang," who insisted that Foley run. If he didn't, Foley was told, it might impact his lobbying career.

"He said, 'The White House made it very clear I have to run,'" explains Foley's friend.

Keeping a predator in office just to keep your majority - doin' a heckuva job, Turdblossom. Well done.
