When payola Republicans turn on you, you're really in trouble. More from Gallagher:
The Washington Times is right: [Hastert] should resign his leadership post.
So should Rep. Tom Reynolds, the House GOP campaign chairman, who according to news accounts said: "I don't think I went wrong at all; I don't know what else I could have done."
I do....
It is enough for me that GOP leaders knew that a parent and child had lodged a complaint. They should at a minimum have questioned other pages to find out if other boys may have been involved.
A full investigation must now take place, and Dennis Hastert simply cannot credibly oversee it.....
With great power comes great responsibility. Memo to GOP House leaders: Have the decency to accept responsibility and resign from leadership. Or come November, I vote to let the other side put their bums in charge.
