thinkprogress.org — Conservative talk show host Michael Reagan and Citizens United President David Bossie have called on House Speaker Dennis Hastert to resign immediately over his role in covering up Mark Foley’s inappropriate behavior. Reagan, the eldest son of President Reagan, was molested at age 8 by a camp counselor.

He asked after it became public and he went out of his way to only ask for investigation concerning the IMs and not the Emails that he knew about last year. His trying to cover his ass, but people aren't buying including conservatives like Reagan and Buchanan.

i agree with you about stating facts here. it seems the knee-jerk response of people here is to digg down anything that says something they don't want to hear (or read in this case).

May not agree with all of his politics, but I generally think that Michael Reagan is a stand-up guy (as was his adoptive father), that actually believes what he says, and at least has some modicum of integrity.Hence, this call for resignation.

Modicum of integrity? Reagan wants to stick grenades up babies' butts! I didn't know he was molested as a child; maybe that explains his anal fixation. Video of Reagan wishing he could kill children by rectal grenade: <a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=michael+reagan&search=Search">http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=michael+reagan&search=Search</a>

Of course we know that and of course it is a fact. It's just not very relevant to the article, which is calling for Hastert's resignation because he was involved in the cover-up. Once the cover was blown it was important for him to make it appear that he was concerned about the law, much in the same way that Foley appeared to be concerned about child abuse in his previous legislative efforts.

The poetic irony of this Foley scandal is just last week I read an article on Digg saying that convicts would vote Democratic (if they could). Maybe convicts have a sense for detecting pedophiles...
