[Vision2020] Blaming Democrats For Foley Cover Up?

 In a sharp exchange on "Fox News Sunday," Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), the
vice chairman of the House Republican Conference, insinuated that Democrats
were behind the revelations of Foley's actions and the release of electronic
messages showing Foley having sexually graphic or highly suggestive
conversations with former pages.

    "What I don't understand is where have these e-mails been for three
years? Are we saying that a 15-year-old child would have sat on e-mails that
were triple-X-rated for three years and suddenly spring them out right on
the eve of an election? That's just a little bit too suspicious, even for
Washington, D.C.," Kingston said.

    Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Mass.) shot back, "If there's any evidence that
you need that the values in Washington have turned upside down, you could
just hear what Jack had to say. Only in Washington, D.C., can you take a
group of people in charge of the House and basically have evidence that
they've been looking the other way while a predator has been ... going after
15- and 16-year-old pages, [and] they somehow ... have the audacity to turn
that into a political attack against Democrats."
So far, only ABC News and The Washington Post are known to have obtained the
sexually explicit instant messages between two former pages and Foley. The
Post obtained its copies from a former page who served on Capitol Hill with
the other two pages.
