Good Morning everyone!
I was listening to FNC, too. I think Kirin was trying to 'defend' the GOP leadership, saying something to the effect of they were apparently told about a year ago that Foley was sending 'inappropriate' email and told him to knock it off and he said ok - they had assumed it had stopped, did not know about the IMs or the supposed sexual nature of the email.
Wonder why no one brings up Barney Frank and Gerry Studds (oh yeah, their Dims - never mind):
The Honorable Barney Frank kept his homosexuality in the closet until June 1987, and he told the House that the trouble he got into with prostitute Steve Gobie and its cover up were attempts to conceal his sexual preference.
Frank admitted that he had paid Steve Gobie for sex, had a brief sexual relationship with him, and then hired him as a personal assistant, paying for him out of Frank's own funds. Frank fired Gobie once he learned that Gobie was using Frank's apartment for prostitution.
Jeff Jacoby, Boston Globe reporter said: "Most pathetic of all was Frank's claim that he'd been 'victimized'--that he was a just a 'good liberal' who was 'trying to help' Gobie, but got 'suckered.'"

Gerry E. Studds
Democrat, Massachusetts (1973-1996)
The Honorable Gerry Studds, the first openly gay Member of Congress had an affair with a 17-year-old male Page in 1983. He never apologized and was censured by the House of Representatives.
Studds stayed in Congress, and was re-elected time and again by his constituents in Massachusetts.

Thanks for the links. By Friday night, anyone who was following the story closely understood that the Emails from 2005(while creepy) were not explicit or sexual.The IMs were not even to the same page as the emails. ABC reported that after they aired the Emails on Thursday, they were contacted by 'former pages' with the sexual Im's from 2003. The media is trying to imply that all of these emails and Im's were to the same page and that the GOP leadership knew about all of them.
When you keep the sewer that is your side of the aisle as clean as we keep our side, you MIGHT have the right to demand something from us. Meantime STFD and STFU, scumbags.
The story Gobie is at considerable variance from Frank's. Gobie called the Mark Levin raido show this week. Gobie says he was not Franks lover or live-in. Gobie ran a prostitution service out of Frank's apartment, yes. But it was a service providing *female* prostitutes. Why out of Frank's apartment? According to Gobie, at Frank's request. Gobie's close friend runs a male prostutition service which Frank wanted 24/7 access to. That, accoding to Gobie, was the deal. Frank got his "on-call 24/7" and Gobie got a place to run his business. Frannks was completely informed. Franks claimed to the ethics committee and the press that it was "such a surprise" to him. Nun-unh. According to Gobie, all the stories are lies by Franks.
What a great site! Thanks.
What's amazing about the links you posted was that they even appeared in the all-gay-all-the-time-globe.
