Interesting....Only today did the MSM (Fox News, actually) start to differentiate between the emails (which were supposedly odd, but not sexual) and the IMs (which were sexually explicit). Do I see a conspiracy here? I think so.

Methinks the Dems sat on this until about a month before the election and then released them. The effect was (obviously) to make it look like a Republican coverup was going on. Well, if the current facts pan out, its looking like that will backfire. If it comes out that the Dems sat on this for years, for calculated political advantage, that will be news. But I bet if that's what happened, the story will suddenly disappear from the front pages.

Speaking of which, whatever happened with that Plame leak thing again? ;)

It's actually possible that this was entrapment. The Im'ing encouraged with the plan to log it and save it for a most appropriate moment.

New it may be, but "reported news" you can guarantee it won't be.

I'm starting to think the same... Foley had a safe Republican seat, it's 5 weeks from Election Day... the IMs are 3 years old...
