You’ve never seen them in the same room together!

From [CNN.com](http://www.cnn.com/rssclick/?section=cnn_topstories:) “The House ethics committee met in closed-door session today to discuss when GOP leaders learned of former Rep. Mark Foley’s contacts with teen pages and whether the leaders acted appropriately. A senior GOP leadership aide told CNN that Speaker Dennis Hastert won’t step down because of the controversy.”

Hmmm…. this sounds [strangely familiar](http://www.carneyweb.com/musings/2002/churchCrisis!)

Not that I’d want to actually compare the two. One was aware of people below him in the power structure of his organization having child raping [pederastic](http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=pederast) inclinations and covered it up while giving them new positions that put more children in danger. The other… um… err… wears funny hats.
