	King: It's like Priest Scandal By J. Jioni Palmer Newsday October 5, 2006 http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-usking054919009 oct05,0,6100734.story?coll=ny-uspolitics-headlines Washington - Seaford Republican Peter King said Mark Foley's raunchy electronic communications remind him of the sexual abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic Church, in which priests who abused underage congregants were moved from parish to parish rather than dismissed. "As a member of Congress I feel the same toward what Foley did as I did as a Catholic when I found out what the bishop and priests did," King said. But King stopped short of calling for House Speaker Dennis Hastert to resign, as have several leading conservative voices, including The Washington Times. "I want to see what else was going on ... I don't want to rush to judgment against anyone, except Foley," he said. King's Democratic challenger for Congress, Nassau Legis. Dave Mejias, has called on Hastert to step down. "It's clear that Dennis Hastert knew what was going on. Why isn't Peter King calling on him to resign?" Mejias said.
