"memogate"

Plea to the writers of articles: stop using "-gate" as an suffix for every scandal out there. Watergate was not the end-all or be-all of scandals, why should we continue to evoke its memory over three decades later?

If you must throw on a suffix to denote a scandal, why not try something more original, and harkens back to something for which the perpatrator was never sufficiently punished: "-quiddick".

Heck, I'm beginning to think that, even though CBS assures me they do, Everybody may not actually Love Raymond.

And .. this little revelation will not bode well for their supposed expose of Tom Delay. Hopefully, it will cause a lot of people to question the report.

Also .. this Delay report is ANOTHER STORY FROM TEXAS .. which automatically makes me suspicious. The Texas dems have never recovered from Bush winning twice in their state. This whole Delay thing is just more Bush-bashing.

The FOX website does, just go to the frontpage at the very bottom where it says email us. Its small so look hard. It brings up all the email addresses. Just copy a portion of the story with a link and paste it.

I suspect the reason is that it was a Republican scandal.

"If you must throw on a suffix to denote a scandal, why not try something more original, and harkens back to something for which the perpatrator was never sufficiently punished: "-quiddick"."

I like it!! "memoquiddick" and "Sandy Berger-quiddick". Watching Teddy "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy flap his gums yesterday made me so mad and all I kept thinking is, who cares what he says, he has already proven that he only cares about himself - leaving a woman to drown from an "accident" in which he was the responsible party - he does not know what personal responsibility is.

As a person living in MA, I just can not stand our senators.

Arrogant liberal media needs to be slapped down and have their ratings and advertizing $'s taken away. Fox has found the winning formula and is on the accendancy, ask the gawdam piece of buffalo dung ted, the moron, turner...

"He [Rather] is the teflon anchorman."

A true statement. None of his audience sticks to him.

FOX should make this a top story (just for fun)

I just love it when Fox updates us upon the slow and painful demise of SeeBS and Dan Blather!

Keep it going here. There are limits to what the MSM will report. To much "there but the grace of some deity in whom I do not believe go I...." mentality.
