Americablog and Talking Points Memo have the best blog coverage- and for that matter just coverage- of the imploding Republican House leadership because of the cover-up on behalf of sexual preditor Rep. Foley. (Did you know it is the cover-up so often and not the crime....) Marshall of TPM writes:
I've been at this blog racket for almost six years. And usually you've got to really pore over the details to find the inconsistencies and contradictions. So I'm not sure I've ever seen this big a train wreck where leaders at the highest eschelons of power repeatedly fib, contradict each other and change their stories so quickly. It's mendacity as performance art; you can see the story unravel in real time.
Just consider, Denny Hastert has repeatedly said he didn't know anything about the Foley problem until Thursday. But two members of the leadership -- Boehner and Reynolds -- say no, they warned him about it months ago. Hastert got Boehner to recant; Reynolds is sticking to his guns.
I hope Rove and Cheney are shiting their pants.
