   What do you think of Hasert knowing about this and keeping him in a leadership position for 11 months after he knew what was going on?

   Josh,

   I Thought you would like this big news story!!

   Big News Story !!!!!!

   In his boldest bid yet to apologize to the Jewish community, actor Mel Gibson today announced that he had converted to Judaism.

   The news took many Jews aback, since conversion to Judaism is a demanding process that can take months or even years of study, and Mr. Gibson accomplished the feat in a record time of forty-five minutes.

   But a spokesman for the “Lethal Weapon” star explained how Mr. Gibson pulled off his lightning-fast conversion: “This is Hollywood — a lot of things can be done by special effects.”

   Moments after his conversion to Judaism, Mr. Gibson paid a visit to the registrar’s office in Los Angeles County and had his name legally changed to “Mel Gibstein” in a show of commitment to his new chosen faith.

   Then it was off to Malibu, where the 50-year old actor was bar mitzvahed on the beach in a small, private ceremony.

   “Today, I am a man,” Mr. Gibstein said before a gathering of friends and well-wishers from the local watering hole Moonshadows. “A Jew man!”

   Mr. Gibstein, whose Lexus LS sedan now sports a license plate reading “LCHAIM,” said that he was “thoroughly enjoying being a Jew” and vowed to only shop wholesale from now on.

   The actor added he would begin production of a new film, “Mad Matzoh Beyond Thundershalom,” as soon as he kicks his drinking problem

   I had not heard that Hastert was aware of this. If he knew all the details of the email content, the sleazy stuff and not just that he had emails with a former page, then it goes to show all of us that politics, just for the sake of politics, rules the day. It’s disgusting…

   Caroline,

   Please post a link to a story (NOT DailyKos or any other blog, but a news story) that talks about how Hastert himself may have known about Foley’s earlier “mentoring” of a page?

   This article seems to have the best who knew what when.

   It seems pretty clear to me that there was some kind of coverup, orchestrated at the highest levels of the House GOP leadership. It is now incumbent on every Republican in the House to answer this question:

   ‘What did you know, and when did you know it?’

    Bingo Charley! There is NO room for politics on this issue, partison or otherwise. And this coming from as strong a republican as you will probably find! Right is right and this is sick…

    Another thought relevant to this isssue. If Al Gore had the political balls to tell Clinton in 98 that he was a sick f**k, he’d be serving his second term now. Guaranteed!

    David,

    As a Democrat, I agree with your second post 100%.

    So, David and Charlie, your comments raise another question:

    Given the choice of Hillary or Monica, you would choose…?

    Is Mel really selling 6 month memberships to “Jews for Jesus” on ebay? All the sudden the man’s a financial genius.

    John,

    I cannot see myself married to either woman, personally. Putting myself in former President Clinton’s position (which I presume was the intent of your question), I would realize that conjugal relations with Hillary would not be grounds for scandal and cover-up.

    Bill,

    I just now saw this thread. I think I’ve given some pretty good reasons on PeachPundit.

    If you want more, I can do that. Want it in email?
