Why Not Take One?

Yes to bipartisan polygraphing!

Democrat House Minority Leader and Speaker aspirant Nancy Pelosi and Representative Rahm Emanuel, Chairman of the House’s Democrat Campaign Committee, refused a request by a Republican Congressman to take a polygraph test designed to ascertain whether they knew about now former Republican Congressman Mark Foley’s misconduct (perhaps criminal misconduct) with respect to at least one Congressional page before it became public knowledge.

The public should know whether they delayed reporting and/or publicizing Mr. Foley’s misconduct for the sake of partisan political advantage.

They could put an end to speculation by taking and passing a polygraph examination conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

NOT doing so encourages speculation, of course.

McHenry seeks sworn Dem account
By Josephine Hearn

North Carolina Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry called on Democratic leaders yesterday to testify under oath about when they knew of former Rep. Mark Foley’s (R-Fla.) Internet communications with a House page.

Writing to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), McHenry questioned whether Democrats had a role in publicizing the e-mails, which broke in the middle of the fall election season creating a furor rarely seen in congressional politics.

“Is the American public to believe that neither of you nor your staffs nor anyone associated with your staffs had prior knowledge or involvement with the release of Foley’s e-mails and/or explicit instant messages?

What do they have to hide?

Funny, you left out Hastert…coincidence? Or trying to pin a republican crime on a democrat. That’s all right, we are used to that behavior…
