Republican congressman Mark Foley resigned after it was disclosed he'd sent inappropriate email and instant messages to congressional pages. Apparently members of Republican leadership were aware of the situation but chose to take no action, concerned more with protecting Foley's House seat than protecting congressional pages from a pedophile.
Whereas politicians on both sides called for speaker Denis Hastert's resignation, George W. Bush instead pledged his support for the House Speaker.
