Bush in favor of Foley investigation
By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
13 minutes ago


STOCKTON, Calif. - President Bush said Tuesday he was "shocked and dismayed" at disgraced lawmaker Mark Foley's behavior and supports House Speaker Dennis Hastert's call for a full investigation.

"This investigation should be thorough and any violation of the law should be prosecuted," Bush said while campaigning for Republican lawmakers in California.

"I was dismayed and shocked to learn about Congressman Foley's unacceptable behavior," Bush told reporters.

"I was disgusted by the revelations and disappointed that he would violate the trust of the citizens who placed him in office," Bush said. "Families have every right to expect that when they send their children to be a congressional page in Washington that those children will be safe."

The president spoke in a courtyard of the George W. Bush Elementary School. Inside, the president visited young children practicing their reading in the school library named after his wife, Laura. The school has 858 students in grades kindergarten through seventh grade.

6. I know!
I thought the same thing... although... it IS more appropriate to name him after the education level he has instead of insulting High Schoolers or College Students with that sort of slander.

5. Bush's words could be turned around easily enough to reflect on his own
disservice to America:

"America is disgusted by the revelations and disappointed that I would violate the trust of the citizens who placed me in office," Bush said. "Families have every right to expect that when they send a man to The White House in Washington that he will keep the Constitution safe."
