Calling a Chris Wallace a right winger is like calling me a liberal. POOH!
Too bad slick willie is UNBALANCED.
All those years of drug abuse getting to his brain?????
Has anyone asked Barney Frank to comment on the Foley matter?
He sounds like an idiot low class scumbag! WOW...this is unbelievable.
I'm not too sure Chris qualifies
as a member of this select club.
LOLOL....oh help......WHO sounds like a low class scumbag?
LOL..I doubt it.
A sociopath indeed. Probably a sexual predator as well. There is a school of thought, one I subscribe to, that he might even have had contact with the KGB along with Hillary, in his dope smoking, draft dodging days..
The bottom line is that the MSM in this country is overwhelmingly LIBERAL DEMOCRAT, and everything they do is built on that flimsy foundation. - Watching them contort themselves to rescue the floundering Clinton during his impeachment fiasco was a glaring example of what they are. Any liberal Democrat or RINO politician can expect the same favor from the MSM, and that is why we need other truly fair and unbiased outlets.
The fact is that "The Path to 9/11" and the few alarming truths it revealed was probably sanitized so much we would all be apoplectic if we really knew the whole story. My theory is that whoever was behind that was a liberal Democrat MSM'er who does not want Hillary Clinton elected President, plain and simple.
Can you believe what a filthy mouth that man has.
Good morning Def! She did a pretty good job.
Since it is evident the Dems are going to flog the Republican leadership over this, here is some background on House Ethics that might be useful.
House Ethics Committee
http://www.house.gov/ethics/Ethicforward.html#TOC
This is a list of all members that have been before the Ethics Committee since it was established.
To date, the Committee or the House has invoked Rule 43, clause 1, in investigating or disciplining Members for:

No. 97-110, 97th Cong., 1st Sess. 4, 16-17 (1981) (Member resigned after Committee recommended expulsion). In another case, the Committee issued a Statement of Alleged Violation concerning bribery and perjury, but took no further action when the Member resigned (In the Matter of Representative Daniel J. Flood, H. Rep. No. 96-856, 96th Cong., 2d Sess. 4-16, 125-126 (1980)).
(FOOTNOTE 46) House Comm. on Standards of Official Conduct, In the Matter of Representative Mario Biaggi, H. Rep. No. 100-506, 100th Cong., 2d Sess. 7, 9 (1988) (Member resigned while expulsion resolution was pending).

Rec. 21584-92 (July 31, 1979) (Member censured and required to make restitution); see also House Comm. on Standards of Official Conduct, Summary of Activities, 100th Cong., H. Rep. No. 100-1125, 100th Cong., 2d Sess. 15-16 (1989) (In the Matter of Delegate Fofo I.F. Sunia) (Member and aide pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and resigned).
* accepting gifts from persons with interest in legislation in violation of the then gift rule (Rule 43, clause 4); (FOOTNOTE 48)
(FOOTNOTE 48) House Comm. on Standards of Official Conduct, In the Matter of Representative Charles H. Wilson (of California), H. Rep. No. 96-930, 96th Cong. 2d Sess. 4-5 (1980); see 126 Cong. Rec. 13801-20 (June 10, 1980) (debate and vote of censure).
* engaging in sexual relationships with House pages; (FOOTNOTE 49)
(FOOTNOTE 49) House Comm. on Standards of Official Conduct, In the Matter of Representative Gerry E. Studds, H. Rep. No. 98-295, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. (1983); In the Matter of Representative Daniel B. Crane, H. Rep. No. 98-296, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. (1983); see 129 Cong. Rec. H5280-95 (daily ed. July 20, 1983) (Committee recommended reprimand; House voted censure).
* making improper sexual advances to a Peace Corps volunteer; (FOOTNOTE 50)

A review of these cases indicates that the Committee has historically viewed clause 1 as encompassing violations of law and abuses of official position. (FOOTNOTE 52)
(FOOTNOTE 52) In one other case, the Committee never reached a determination as to whether Rule 43, clause 1 would encompass a criminal conviction for contributing to the unruliness of a minor and allegations of improper sexual advances to a congressional employee because the Member resigned prior to the conclusion of the Preliminary Inquiry. See Staff of House Comm. on Standards of Official Conduct, In the Matter of Representative Donald E. Lukens, 101st Cong., 2d Sess. (Comm. Print 1990).
Oh my. I'd like that to be proven true.
F&F Alisan Camerada (sp) read that Hastert said they knew of Foley's overly-friendly emails and 'turned that information over to the appropriate authorities'.
[Well, that's the answer, then. Apparently, they turned the info over to the same 'appropriate authorities' who investigated Cynthia McKinney's assaulting a Capitol Hill policeman. Result = zero, zilch, nada, nothing. /s]
"Can you believe what a filthy mouth that man has."
Just shows that he is low class imo. After this is over, I am going to read about the deal over at Spectator. Why is he still in congress?
Now some don't like his stand on abortion, and gun control. He's not as pro gay or abortion as has promoted. I don't care either way about guns, not my thing. I do know one thing. He TOTALLY gets the WOT.
Maybe DC Bob had to get some touch up coaching from his mentor Baghdad Bob before he went on LK.
After all, DC Bob did some "out of the DC box" writing for a while and might have gotten all out of shape.
As Murtha says on the tape, he intends to be in congress for the next 20 years, and he intends to be part of leadership, so he has to be careful about just how he accepts bribes.
Would you like an "apology" and by whom? LOL
Know what? I bet you're right. I would not be surprised if he already has Larry King's questions.
