I’m trying to give the incoming democratic majority the benefit of the doubt, but…
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The head of the House Democrats' campaign committee, Rep. Rahm Emanuel, had heard of former Rep. Mark Foley's inappropriate e-mails to a former male page a year before they became public, a campaign committee aide told CNN.
... this sort of stunt is not the sort of thing that fills me with a feeling that it's going to be a new era of Congressional integrity.
Mr. Emanuel could have asked some other Democrat to do this CNN interview, been a little bit more Clintonian when carefully constructing his answer, or said that he'd heard vague rumors when asked if he'd known about this, but that would have been an intelligent thing to do. And, as has been proven over and over again, the Democratic Party post 1992 has not exactly been a font of wisdom, even when compared to the infamously corrupt and immoral Evil Party.
