They Knew
Here is a little story that shows that Hassert knew about Foleys diddling some time ago, last spring. Hassert must have figured they could keep it quiet, at least until after the election, otherwise they would have dumped Foley much sooner. As it is now with Foley leaving at this particular time, it will be difficult for Republicans to retain the seat whereas had they ditched the guy when they first found out, there was still time for a new candidate. Of course they're claiming all kinds of reasons for keeping it quiet that no one in their right mind believes.

OH. And of course, they should have axed the guy because what he did is wrong. But that usually doesn't move Republicans to take action much.
