REPUBLICANS DID NOT PROTECT FOLEY, ONLY THEMSELVES!
Of course the Republican house leaders weren't protecting that homo, Foley, they were protecting themselves! Now, you may ask yourself, why didn't they go forward right away?
I think the answer is pretty clear: Being good Republicans, they are also good businessmen, and once Foley donated $100,000 to the NRCC (right about the time Hastert knew), I bet the other house Republicans realized that this was a cash cow they could milk forever. That's why Tom Reynolds encouraged Foley to run for reelection, even after he knew.
So if the silence-for-money exchange blew up in their faces, we really ought to look at it as an isolated instance of bad business judgment, rather than a character problem. After all, it was only a few friendly messages:
"Take your dick out and measure it for me."
"Take your boxers off."
"Do I make you kind of horny?"
