The Republican Party Doesn't Know How To Handle Scandal: "The Circular Firing Squad"

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, flanked by Bush and Rove.

Good scandal-fallout summary here:

...in Washington, Republican strategists acknowledge privately that, even under their best-case scenario, Foley's sexually charged messages and allegations that House leaders were too passive in responding to them will remain an all-consuming distraction for GOP campaigns...

...(One) frustrated GOP strategist who spoke on the condition of anonymity essentially agreed, saying his party's mishandling of Foley "speaks to our inability to govern and do the right thing. It says everything about who we are as a party."

Inability-to-govern, indeed!
