Think Progress reports that an obscure right wing blogger revealed the identity of a former congressional page who was abused by Mark Foley. The original expose was reprehensible in its own right.

First, Roger L. Simon, co-founder and CEO of Pajamas Media � a portal and advertising broker for nearly every major right-wing blog � posted a link to Wild Bill on his personal site. (The Pajamas Media portal also linked to Wild Bill.) Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit � probably the most highly-trafficked right-wing blog � followed suit by linking to Simon’s post and the Pajamas Media post.
