Tony Snow: Foley Efforts to Bed 16-Year-Old Male Page Just "Naughty Emails"?

[Ed. note: Glenn Greenwald at Unclaimed Territory has far more depth in the Foley PredatorGate scandal that talks beyond the risque business and more about how the GOP operates in trying to kill a scandal no matter how many lies and coverups it requires.]

I literally can't believe this. This rises to a whole new height of a Snow job. From Editor&Publisher:

Appearing on CNN this morning, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow referred to the sexual and graphic emails sent by former Rep. Mark Foley to several teenage pages as "simply naughty e-mails."

Snow stated, "Look, I hate to tell you, but it's not always pretty up there on Capitol Hill and there have been other scandals as you know that have been more than simply naughty e-mails." He added that a full probe was needed to be "fair to all parties" who are being accused of not taking earlier action against Foley. Snow said to O'Brien, "What you are trying to do is pick fights here."
