Denny Hastert was a wrestling coach at one time, and if wrestling teaches you anything, it teaches you to not let the other guy pin you if possible. Hastert ought to do everything he can to make the Dems face up to their own "principles" of tolerance, and account for their own past failures to deal with similar or worse kinds of behavior. Mark Foley ought to pay the price for his own failures, but so should anyone else who has known about what was happening but was just sitting on the information just waiting to release it at a politically opportune moment. I think Hastert can pull this reversal off and maybe not just score an escape but actually make the Democrats face the lights on their own backs. Maybe, just maybe this will get the Republicans in position to learn some lessons that have escaped them recently.
