So, people are saying that the next Republican scandal is about to break -- and that it involves a 16 year-old female page and Congressman Jerry Weller (R-Illinois).
Weller is the creepy looking guy standing behind Foley in the photo.
Should all this be true, it looks like we may really get that long awaited landslide! C'mon values voters!
Mark Kleiman nails it:
That would not merely seriously reignite the Foley Follies; it would also stifle the wingnut attempt to turn this into a gay scandal rather than a scandal about grown men abusing their office to make sexual advances to high-school students, and the party and institution they belong to scurrying to protect the grown-ups rather than the teenagers. If the story breaks this week or next, we could see a true landslide in November.
It appears that the dirty old Congressman has maybe 48 hours to get his resignation in order.
But already we are hearing that Nancy Pelosi, George Soros and Bill Clinton are behind this outrageous smearing of dirty old Republican heteros.
Weller's opponent -- or the apparent future Democratic Congressman from Illinois -- is John Pavich.
How many seats did they say we are going to take the House by?
Wonkette calls all this the Cocktober Surprise.
