Can Joe Go Any Lower?

Why was I not surprised in the least to see that PA 16th district U.S. House Representative Joe Pitts supports U.S. House Speaker Repug Dennis Hastert, currently embroiled in the Mark Foley controversy of course?

Why, in the totally bizarro world of Repug “moral-values”-campaigning politicians, does it make sense somehow for someone like Pitts, who will howl in a heartbeat over the removal of the Ten Commandments from the Chester County courthouse, to defend someone who ignored the actions of a child predator for 11 years who happened to be a member of his own political party?

Fortunately, Lois Herr has spoken out eloquently here on the folly of Pancake Joe, and provided more reason (as if any were needed at this point) to support her.

And concerning Pitts, all I can say is that at least one other person thinks (?) the exact same way he does (and even Jim “The Fixer” Baker also – how about that?).
