Wow, this is really turning into a tangled mess isn't it?

I wonder though, should the speaker of the House be responsible for screening everyone's e-mail? Perhaps they (the e-mails) were only given a cursory examination, and not "read between the lines". But really, for what reason would e-mails between a congressman and a page be read by anyone else, under normal circumstances?

At any rate, assuming they were examined at the time, it's entirely possible that at the time, the e-mails seemed perfectly innocuous. What do they say? Where are they available to read? I realize we have the IM text to read, but I'm talking about the e-mails in question. Have they been posted anywhere?

My personal prediction, I don't see this going very far, it's just a good thing that this didn't break the last week in October. That is, of course, if we don't have conservatives attacking each other for the next month. I'm surprised it's coming to this.

Does anyone honestly believe that the representatives we've been supporting so fervently the last few years are so morally bankrupt, that they formed this massive conspiracy to hide the predatory predilections of one of their own? If that's the case, I'd ask anyone believing this the same question I ask 9/11 conspiracy nuts: If the government is so corrupted, so absolutely without hope, what's the point of trying to change it at this point? Indeed, why even live in this country, if you think this is actually true?
