Just as a congressional aide came forward to say he told House Speaker Dennis Hastert about Rep. Mark Foley's behavior back in 2004, Majority Whip Roy Blunt said he would have handled the entire situation much differently.
This according to a new Associated Press report:
Republicans have been struggling to put the scandal behind them, but another member of the leadership, Rep Roy Blunt of Missouri, said pointedly during the day he would have handled the entire matter differently than Speaker Dennis Hastert did, had he known about the complaints when they were first raised last year.
"I think I could have given some good advice here, which is you have to be curious. You have to ask all the questions you can think of," Blunt said. "You absolutely can't decide not to look into activities because one individual's parents don't want you to."
