Rush ping! Should be a wild one today? Will Rush ask the Dems to apologize to Foley? LOL!
IB4TP?
Rush Bump!
Few seconds off.
Nice try Chicago!
The wheels seem to be coming off for the dems.
Can any Rush 24/7 listener get this to Rush?
Pelosi and Emannuel refuse to take a polygraph test over the Foley mess.

Pelosi has also refused to make a sworn affidavit

These Links?
I anticipate that Rush will point out how ABC and CBS have already lied and misreported. ABC about the 'underage' teen who turns out not to be underage after all. CBS claiming the FBI did not investigate because House Republicans said they would handle it themselves.
Hey Red...sure makes you wonder doesn't it? Apparently the kid that got the nasty IM's wasn't a kid. He was 18. Foley might be a perv, but he is a smart one.
Rush should knock this one out of the park!
I can understand refusing a lie detector, but she also refuses to make an affidavit? Even one her lawyers could spend hours or days smoothing to a perfect mud of non-denial denials?
That's interesting.
Yes please. Excerpts from both links:
link 1)
Democrat House Minority Leader and Speaker aspirant Nancy Pelosi and Representative Rahm Emanuel, Chairman of the House's Democrat Campaign Committee, refused a request by a Republican Congressman to take a polygraph test designed to ascertain whether they knew about now former Republican Congressman Mark Foley's misconduct (perhaps criminal misconduct) with respect to at least one Congressional page before it became public knowledge
link 2)
He (Republican Congressman McHenry) asked that Pelosi and Emanuel offer a “yes or no” answer as to whether they would go under oath “to assure the American people that neither you nor your staffs had prior knowledge or involvement — at the strategic or tactical levels — with the release of Foley’s e-mails and/or instant messages.”
Spokespeople for Pelosi and the DCCC dismissed McHenry’s demand as political posturing.
Their has been a lot of that with "conservative" talking heads.
I take what they all say with a grain of salt after Meirs and Port Snort.
The Bogus Blog Behind Foley's Fall
ABCNews.com brought Mark Foley's boy-chasing to national attention, but it wasn't the first website to flog the story. That dubious honor belongs to StopSexPredators, a pseudo-vigilante blog filled with plagiarized, hastily-assembled posts, which no one seems to have heard of, visited, or linked to before last week—and whose operator has a suspiciously savvy grasp of the news cycle.
In other words, a blog whose sole raison d'etre seems to have been to get the Foley ball rolling.
If its time/date stamps are to be trusted (like most free blogware, Blogger allows its users to backdate posts), the pervert-outing anony-site was set up on July 28 as a "clearing house for the public to report sex predators and as a resource for concerned citizens."
One early post, headlined The Sickening Six, naming and shaming the "kinds of sick people who hunt minors for their own sick purposes," is basically an amalgam of plagiarized entries from Crimelibrary, Wikipedia, and Answers.com. (Click here, here, and here, for examples.)
After running just six posts over the summer, the site picked up steam on September 21 when its author wrote, "the blog has been noticed and some shocking emails have been received!!!!" and posted four emails purportedly from "interns" outraged by the heretofore unmentioned Foley and his penchant for teenage boys.
(Of course, if these emails are legit, it means the "interns" somehow stumbled upon the blog, despite the fact that it had not yet been linked to by any other sites, and was virtually indetectible to Google, which ranks sites according to the number of incoming links.)
One "intern" wrote:
"...I came to Washington because I care about the future of America. I wanted to be around good and decent men like President George Bush. Instead, I feel like a piece of meat. The worst part of it for me is there appear to be plenty of my fellow interns who don't mind Foley's particular 'path to power.'"
Three days later, the blogger posted the now infamous "Emails from Congressman Foley to 16 Year Old Page!!!!", claiming they'd been sent in by a reader (despite the fact that they appeared to be scans of faxed printouts). Persons unknown then seeded the link to various political sites—including Wonkette, which initially dismissed them as fakes. ABC, of course, took them more seriously.
Whoever promoted the story on DailyKos did so only 12 minutes after the fateful post went live at 11:06 a.m.:
BBL, gotta Rush to lunch!
