Yep, it's a very good comment on the character and intelligence of Mr. Boozman.

There are probably a few "my party right or wrong" Democrats, but I don't know any.

As we ponder the sickness that is Foley and the simpleton cluelessness that is Boozman, let us also take note that it's only Oct. 4 and already this month's American death toll in Iraq is 21.

Beautiful and eloquent Spirit. Wish I could do that. However, booze-man is not clueless, he is an avoider. Try encountering him personally. He is not clueless but when it's anything of substance he will not dare go against the prevailing Wht-Hse-Rparty thugs, he just clams up and plays dumb. Good at it too. Perhaps his best skill is getting Tom Delay money from Tom DeLay corporations.
Additionally, like Trent Lot, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, Tom DeLay, Hastert, Booze-man is a CHICKEN HAWK.
Woody is an officer in the Reserves.

It could very well be that most of the House is a little light in the loafers. And what about that White House crowd? Have you ever seen so many life long bachelors and bachelorettes?

If I was a Commie, I bet the best way to throw people off my trail would be to scream anti-commie stuff 24/7 and accuse everyone I didn't like of being a commie.

Couldst this be going on in the White House and the House and oh lord....what about the Senate? Wrestling coach....uh huh....hot sweating little boys with bulging muscles rolling around on a mat. Could anything be more suggestive?

And why do Congress require the services of children? What about dem child labor laws? Why not feed the little chickens right to the wolves? The Page program should be stopped and no priest should be allowed to be alone in the same room with a kid.

Nasty nasty people, I'm telling ya. I'd like to hear what Mr. Boozman has to say on the Foley matter, but Bush may have put a lock on John's tongue.

WOOD-Y WOOD-Y WOOD-Y! He's finally gone negative! I'm so proud. We might actually have a winner this time. Bring it on home for us Woodman!

If I was a Commie, I bet the best way...

Why don't you go ahead and move to Cuba and crawl in bed with your lover Castro, you, you, you liberal!!!!

Thta was funny Spirit, 'bout got my dander up, but then I saw it was you.
Wonder what ever happened to old Trish. Maybe s/he morphed into one of the latest trolls.

Wonder what ever happened to old Trish.

There are a few possibilities:

1. She never figured how to to log in to the new system.

2. She's a typical troll, too paranoid to even sign in with a fake name for fear big brother will use it to raid her bank account.

3. She's too busy shopping for that inaugural ball gown to bother with us anymore.

4. She's busy waiting for her call from the Nobel Prize committee.

No, I don't think she's a morphed new troll. We could spot Trish, by any name, a mile off. She's gone and good riddance.

Well, Comrade DBI.

As you should well know from watching those capitalist pig James Bond films, you have to beware of Russian girls wearing bikinis.

Maybe you crave some of that decadent Western cheese dip and champagne, stirred not shaken.

Actually from the constant drumming of the rightwingnuts, I'm now sorry I'm not gay or a little bi-sexual. If Republicans hate it so much, it's got to be fun.

And now I'm afraid with 6 months of Foley news 24/7 that by Easter of next year I'll be wanting to talk dirty to a 16 year old boy. Must be something to it. I've put MLF54 on my AIM buddy list, next time he pops on I'll ask him if he's got a few minutes for a geezer.....much like himself.

We've been so worried that Coulter is a man, now I'm beginning to wonder if Rove and Condi are men. Guess someone's going to have to pants em so we'll know.

Wasn't it maf54? you're thinking of "milf"

Spirit,
My guess is s/he is shopping for the new gown. LOL.
Goodnight to all fellow Democrats.

If republicans ever figure out that they are like every other living, breathing inhabitant of this planet, all of us will be able to enjoy our lives more fully.

Until then--possibly never--we are doomed to our present state, which hasn't changed all that much from the very beginning, as far as I can tell.

Oh yeah. The "ball gown" bit. LMAO!
Poor old Trish. She tries so hard, just can't get a grip. Poor lil feller.

Dang Jerry, you're exactly right. And I have never met a milf I didn't like. Speaking of milfs, I had a doctor's appointment with a new doctor today and in walks a hot 30 year old woman. I had seen her in the hall earlier and make a grrrrrr noise, hopefully under my breath.

Well....Dr. Hottie was very nice, and smart as a whip and very easy to get along with. I asked her about medicine for thrush and medicine for panic attacks, another prescription for my diabetes pills and what she knew about Cialis, that 36 hour lead in your pencil stuff. I told her I liked the idea of not having to keep one eye on the clock like you have to do with Viagra, plus wifey often goes to sleep during foreplay and I've wasted an expensive blue pill. And then I said, of course as long as I've been married the last thing I need is 36 hours for sex...what on earth would I do with the other 35 and 1/2 hours?

She leaned over and put her hand on my knee and sweetly said, well you won't have a hard on for 2 days unless you are in the mood and someone is constantly arousing you. Yes, very sweet and I nearly fell off the table. Do young women not know of the word, erection? OK.....I hope to get sicker and sicker so I can spend more time with Dr. Minx.

Now if someone will tell me what to do with this other 35 and 1/2 hours? Can I donate it to the Congressional Page School? I'm off to change my buddy list...no wonder Foley is never online!

I'd say being DBI's physician would be a challenging task, but it sounds like he's found someone who can manage him just fine.

Her choice of words was probably designed to shock the old boy onto a different subject!

Wow, this sure has gone quiet since it became known that the page was 18 years old when Foley started IMing sexually explicit messages with him.

I wonder why that is. I sure don't hear any apologies or "I guess we were wrongs."

Did anyone hear that pesky cricket again? Where is my bug spray?

"Did anyone hear that pesky cricket again? Where is my bug spray?"

You mean the cricket who just pointed out the collapse of your eagerly repeated dirty trick?

Strange, there's still no post by Max or Warwick addressing the fact that the former page was illegal at the time that the sexually natured messages were sent.

Hmmm.... I wonder, if Foley were a democrat, wouldn't the republicans be accused of gay bashing??? After all the "kid", as it turns out, was an adult.

Oh yeah, you're not going to like this: "**World Exclusive**

CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.

The primary source, an ally of Edmund, adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund. Both are fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the matter.

The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others.

The news come on the heels that Edmund has hired former Timothy McVeigh attorney, Stephen Jones.

Developing...

There's still activity on other threads on this blog, but not on this one.

Funny, yesterday this was the death of the GOP, now none of these libs even remember it.

Nice try.

Better look at what Hastert said today - he takes full responsiblity for what happened. The attonery - well that's to file the largest and what may become a class action suit against the Republican Congressional Leadership for coverup and protecting a gay - cyber-sex pedophile cyber - (so far).

Kirk Fordum (former Chief of Staff for Foley) made public yesterday and testified today to the FBI, that he told Hastert's office 5 years ago they had a problem with Foley (spin that).

The orginal emails were handed over to the incompetent FBI, who may be duplicitous in trying to keep the lid on Foley...by a life-long Republican and mother of one of the offended pages...a Republican mother, who got fed up with the cover-up, and went to ABC. Within 24 hours, Foley resigns...Resigns - Foley apolgizes for the IM's through his attorney...they exsist and Foley's exit and apology prove that (spin that).

And by the way - what part of "send me a pic" don't you understand. Spin, spin, spin.

This is your turd in a punch bowl...deal with it.

Do us all a favor, if you're going to quote something, then at least use a credible independent source. I'd expect no less or no more from the Drudge Report...

To Mr. Persona Responsiblity - Denny Boy...

The "page system" does not need fixing, the Republican Congressional Leadership needs fixing. They must go...every single one who knew and who did nothing.

But keep spinning, if makes you sleep better at night. I guess if I was a Repubulican, I'd be grasping at any straw not to admit that I'd been dupped and played as a sap by the Republican Party. Family values...my white a**.

Nice try, my a*%. This is blowing up in your face. You're going to wish this had never happened when it's all said and done.

Keep drinking the Kool-aide anon, I'd be embarassed too.

In my response to your servitude to Drudge, I made some substantive and proven points...and your reply with;

Nice try, my a*%.

How A-typical of the lies and self-delusional Republican lap dogs.

If you want to debate the facts, the facts in chief, I welcome it. So far, you've proven that you're still sitting in your cubie, hunkered over a flashing monitor trying to justify your and your parties pathetic existance and it's excuses for covering up a cyper-sex pedophile.

You pull up the Drudge Report and, OH JOY, it's a vast left wing plot to destroy the Republican Party. You turn a blind eye to the facts, to what's been said on the record and the implications that a Republican Congressman who was confronted with his IM"s to an underaged page - resigns within hours - admits and apologies for the inexcusable acts - and you can't see clear enough, through your rose colored glasses that it's a desperate attempt to defuse and excuse this.

Think son, read, defending this and trying to make it into something other than it is, failed leadership, makes you look desperately comical.

Family values my a**.

Hey, dumba*%, guess what I'm not embarrassed any more than you're embarrassed about Gerry Studds, which you should be by the way, because you're party didn't demand his resignation after he had sex with a 17 year old boy. The kid in this scandal was 18 years old (Monica was only 19) and it turns out that he was pulling Casey's leg, not something else.

This is a democrat dirty trick that has blown up in your faces. You are typically eager to continue to believe something long after it's been disproven because you're a blind partisan ideologue. Better luck next time. This issue is going to disappear off the scene and I'll remind you of it then. It's already dissipating, now. Sorry.

Spinning like a top here son.

Just in from Fox News
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,218043,00.html

Oh, by the way - Monica was 22. Try and stick with the facts and brush up on your math.

A "democratic dirty trick" - suppose it would of been OK if Bob Novak would of dropped this bomb?

It ain't going away son. It's failed leadership by a party that ran on "family values". Can't have it both way...at least not this time.

And by the way - I'm hardly a blind partison ideologue. I'm a facts kinda guy. And the facts just suck for your party right now. It's a coverup - pure and simple and 66% of the American people "get it". It's your train wreck and it's coming your way Nov. 7th - those are the facts.

This will date me, but there's a great song from the 60's

The Beat Goes on...the Beat Goes on

Just in from THE HILL - the highly respected newspaper for and about the U.S. Congress

Longtime Republican was source of e-mail

The source who in July gave news media Rep. Mark Foley's (R-Fla.) suspect e-mails to a former House page says the documents came to him from a House GOP aide.

That aide has been a registered Republican since becoming eligible to vote, said the source, who showed The Hill public records supporting his claim.

The same source, who acted as an intermediary between the aide-turned-whistleblower and several news outlets, says the person who shared the documents is no longer employed in the House.

But the whistleblower was a paid GOP staffer when the documents were first given to the media.

The source bolstered the claim by sharing un-redacted e-mails in which the former page first alerted his congressional sponsor's office of Foley's attentions. The copies of these e-mails, now available to the public, have the names of senders and recipients blotted out.

These revelations mean that Republicans who are calling for probes to discover what Democratic leaders and staff knew about Foley's improper exchanges with under-age pages will likely be unable to show that the opposition party orchestrated the scandal now roiling the GOP just a month away from the midterm elections.
the rest of the story - is here - http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/100506/news2.html

As a side bar, THE HILL would not have reported this without seeing the evidence.

So, now 18 is too young? Right.

Wow, this sure has gone quiet since it became known that the page was 18 years old when Foley started IMing sexually explicit messages with him.

I'm terrible at Internet searches. Can you give a link where this is covered? I looked at the Fox News site, thought I'd see it in big headlines there, and I can't find it...

You just don't get it do you son? It's not about the cyber sex or the predatory nature of the former Congressman - as bad as that is...it's about the coverup.

It wasn't about the Watergate breakin - again, bad enough...it was about Nixon and his staff's desperate and failed attempt to cover it up.

It wasn't about the adulterous affair with Monica - it was Cliinton's desparate attempt to coverup the truth - "I did not have sex with that women". And it depends upon what "is", "is".

The Republican Leadership failed in their duties to their Party - your party - and "family values", they failed in protecting young and vunerable pages from a likeable predator...and they failed America. They've got to go. And until the likes of you and the likes of the rest of the Red Army get "those guys" out. Your party will not be able to heal itself.

It's that simple.

"Faced with claims by the conservative political website The Drudge Report on Thursday that lurid instant message exchanges between disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) and the former page who was outed on a conservative website yesterday were the result of an elaborate prank, insiders at ABC News say the network stands behind its story.

It has also announced that three more pages have come forward with information about alleged Foley misdoings."

And nony next to that headline was one that said Speaker Bastert's failure may cause the Republicans to lose up to 50 seats in the House next month. Joy of joys.....Happy Days are here again!

Spin nony....spin like you've never spun before! Your time is running out.

Strange, there's still no post by Max or Warwick addressing the fact that the former page was illegal at the time that the sexually natured messages were sent.

Frustrating. I still can't find this anywhere. NBC Nightly News didn't mention it. I keep looking at foxnews.com but nothing there I can find. Strange.

I guess it's not important enough for the media to report. Like Blue Ticker said, it's the cover-up/do-nothing, not so much the instant messages.

The kid sure wasn't 18 when the House management knew about Foley's problem, and they did nothing about it.

Spirit - I did an extensive google search on the 18 year old - didn't find a thing. Maybe anon can give us a path to a crediable new source.

Of course, doesn't matter is they were 16 or 17 or 18 - he was predator in the perfect world for a predator - the House Pages. They knew what he was, they knew what he was up to and they did NOTHING - it the coverup.

"It wasn't about the Watergate breakin - again, bad enough...it was about Nixon and his staff's desperate and failed attempt to cover it up."

And Democrats sought and succeed in removing a Pres and VP.

It wasn't about the adulterous affair with Monica - it was Cliinton's desparate attempt to coverup the truth - "I did not have sex with that women". And it depends upon what "is", "is".

And Democrats rallied behind Bill and said this was a Private Matter leave it alone. He stays.

So Blue Tick, if its just about the cover up, why the different punishment in your mind?

Aren't Democrats also ingaged in cover this up until they think it was time to release it? CREW released the content promptly after ABC ran their story. Don't you have any interest in finding out how many people, organizations, from all parties knew about this man?

"They've got to go. And until the likes of you and the likes of the rest of the Red Army get "those guys" out. Your party will not be able to heal itself."

Contrary to your belief, when a line was crossed, we got rid of him immediately. So your party doesn't have such individuals or when you do you do what?

History shows you encourage protection and raise money for their defense funds.

And Democrats sought and succeed in removing a Pres and VP.

And rightly derserved.

And Democrats rallied behind Bill and said this was a Private Matter leave it alone. He stays.

It was personal - and consensual - he faced impeachment proceedings and the Republican controlled Congress...agreed and voted not to impeach.

Aren't Democrats also ingaged in cover this up until they think it was time to release it?

Might be nice if you read my arguments further up - so you don't have to strain yourself -
http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/100506/news2.html

Contrary to your belief, when a line was crossed, we got rid of him immediately.

The facts speak otherwise. The line was crossed years ago, when the leadership was informed of Foley's "tastes" and did nothing. That was the time to do something...not when the press was about to release the IM's. I'll agree that you got rid of Foley immediately - but immediately meant immediately after it was confirmed the Republican Leadership's dirty little secret was about to go nuklar.

Spirit - I did an extensive google search on the 18 year old - didn't find a thing...

People like him don't have much going for them other than their credibility. If he's given that up, he has no business posting on here with the adults.

For a litte historical prespective and why every Arkansan should be proud for giving this great country leaders like Senator David Pryor, Congressman Hammerschmit and Senator Dale Bumpers.

If your inclined, this was the turning point and a key factor why the Republican controlled Congress did not impeach President Bill Clinton.

http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/01/21/transcripts/bumpers.html

nice spin, but since your fact driven......

Clinton was impeached. He just wasnt removed from office. But you stated it was the cover up not the consentual sex, although he as married to another woman.

What crime was covered up with the emails? Don't mix emails from a year ago with IM's that just surfaced. The family of the young man in the emails issued a statement today that the Speaker and their congressman did exactly what they wanted to have done when they provided the content of the email to his sponsor.

Maybe the representatives were just doing what the family and young man desired because the young man was uncomfortable. Stop this man from writing our son.

Stop this man from writing our son.

Ok, so your argument and defense is that the 'Representatives" are f***g morans. That they did not recognize, or know enough about sexual predators, despite the countless pieces of legislation about predator's that have cruised through Congress, to not have alarms ringing in their heads? That their solution was to say "Marky now stop it, and that's their due diligence?

I'm not sure many parents would agree.

No.. your saying the parents are morons.

Not morans, just trusted the Republican Leadership to handle this situation and not let it happen ever again...I'm pretty sure they meant NEVER AGAIN to any kid...not just theirs.

Oh - for you ANON

Pelosi Backs Condit's Re-Election Move Distances Her From Top Democrats(Hypocrisy!)
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | December 18, 2001 | Carla Marinucci

Posted on 10/02/2006 3:06:28 PM PDT by kellynla

Bucking party leadership and most of her congressional colleagues, House Democratic Whip-elect Rep. Nancy Pelosi has endorsed Rep. Gary Condit for re-election -- a move that has "thrilled" the embattled incumbent but could spell headaches for Democrats.

"I endorsed Gary for re-election a long time ago," Pelosi of San Francisco said in a statement released by her office yesterday. "However, I have not spoken to any member encouraging them to support Gary or to discourage them from supporting his opponent (state Assemblyman Dennis Cardoza)." She called the election "a matter between Gary and his constituents."

With less than two months to the March primary, the backing of the Democratic Party's highest-ranking woman serves as a bright spot for the Ceres Democrat, who was the focus of a media firestorm last summer involving the disappearance of Washington intern Chandra Levy.

Heres the link regarding the parents statement. now you wont have to assume what the parents intent was.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/05/page.statement/

Keep digging - you just might come across something that will in you mind excuse and justify your pathetic defense of at least 5 and maybe more Republican Congressional Leaders covering up and hiding in plain site a gay sexual/cyper-sex pedophile. A man they knew was gay and man they knew that like young boys.

Chandra Levy and Congressman Gary Condit had an affair. Consenting adults, no excuses. Levy came up missing and the rumors and allegations that Condit was involved were brutal. And more importantly - totally wrong.

Ex-congressman Gary Condit settled a libel suit in
September 2004 against tabloids that connected him to intern Chandra Levy's death. Condit had claimed in a $209 million suit that the papers ruined his career by alleging their affair.

http://www.courttv.com/news/chandra/index.html

Foley stood up admitted his guilt, resigned, admitted he was gay and took responsiblity for his actions..albiet with excuses.

You can continue to dig and find a treasure chest of examples of wrongdoing in a long line up of rogues. Doesn't excuse or justify what the Leadership did for power and 30 pieces of sliver.
______________________________
You gotta be kidding? Did you read that? You got kids? Looks like Alexander is a f***g moran too. No bells ringing in their heads huh?

As a parent, if my kid came to me with these internet exchanges and a U.S. Congressman, whom my kid called "sick, sick, sick" wanted a pic - not only would bells be going off - so would a sawed off shot gun. I cannot believe that this statement satisfies anyone but the true red believers.

I'm done...I'll never bring reason, sanity or a even a glimmer of the lack of morality of this coverup to any red soldier. The truth is a terrible thing and many just don't have the courage to confront or accept it.

I thought Rep. Gary Condit was creepy and a creep when the story of Chandra Levy gone missing broke in the news. We've always known a segment of the population in California is crazy and clearly anyone who elected that bozo is nuts.

But Condit's actions were very much along the lines of Tim Hutchinson, you know...Asa's brother. Chandra was very much of legal age and we must remember something else. As guilty as he looked, as weird as he acted and as many people pointed the finger at Condit and said he killed a pregnant Chandra Levy....none of it was true. He was as innocent as I am of her disappearance and death. Yet that paint brush is still painting him years later.

As Anatole France once said "Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest." Most humans develop sexual desire. Anything any of us have said or done sexually would be excruciatingly lame and embarrassing if shown on TV. You can bet Mr. Foley did more than type dirty at teenagers. He had sex with someone, maybe many someone's. I have zero interest in his adult sex partners like I had no interest in Clinton's adult sex partners.

But stalking children is quite another matter indeed. And as the email and Im's come out along with new evidence from former Pages it is clear Mr. Foley displayed a pattern of stalking children and by Monday we might find out he caught a few along the way. If so he and those in the Republican leadership that shielded him like the Catholic Church did with pedophile priests for years should be punished.

Let Chandra Levy rest in peace along side Terri Schiavo.....the Republicans continue to whore them out even in death.
