Shooting Blankleys
October 2, 2006 at 10:15 pm
Drudge Report tells us that Tuesday’s Washington Times editorial will call for Speaker Dennis Hastert’s resignation over the Mark Foley scandal.
The Washington Times editorial page, of course, is led by Tony Blankley, who was once former Speaker Newt Gingrich’s press secretary, who himself resigned in 1998, after Blankley was gone.
Remember 1998? Another sex scandal rocked Washington and the nation — President Bill Clinton’s. Gingrich vowed that Spring that “never again, as long as I am Speaker, make a speech without commenting” on Monica Lewinsky.
Will the Democrats make a similar pledge five weeks out from Election Day 2006?
