He is a disgusting pervert who should have been taken down by the Republican leadership years ago

But Democrats are attempting to make hay by alleging that the Republican leadership may have known about the inappropriate emails and covered them up for months. Their hope, no doubt, is to discourage turnout by disillusioned evangelical and other voters sensitive to moral issues. But the emerging background detail suggests that this is simply not the case, and that an attack strategy has been devised by parties anxious to damage the GOP and swing the coming election.

HOLD ON!! Is ABC's account of the initial milder emails to the kid in LA in conflict with what they've said in the past 24 hours about when/how they learned of the more graphic IMs?

I'm going to have to review all the details on many threads because I think I just saw a huge inconsistency in ABC's claims about what they knew and when..... (but there are so many balls in the air I might be the one mixed up). I thought that ABC's VP of something just said that they never saw the really nasty IMs until after they published their article on the emails to the 16-17 yr. old page in Louisiana..... yet THIS article (which seems tob e the first one??) has the quote "sick sick sick sick...." (though there are not nearly as many sicks as appeared in later articles!!).

IIRC, the "sick sick sick 12-13 sicks" came from a comment on the IMs (which were indeed very graphic), and NOT to the original emails to a DIFFERENT page which were pretty mild (how can you say "sick sick sick....." to the initial emails unless you already know there's a lot more graphic stuff behind them? If this thread has the original ABC article about the more innocuous ("overly friendly") but non-explicit emails, didn't ABC just claim today that they never saw the nasty IMs until more pages got in touch with them about the first email article???

The young man forwarded that e-mail to a congressional staffer saying it was "sick sick sick sick sick."
