I don't know who has sent what to whom. But it wouldn't hurt for more of us to send this info to EVERYONE and EVERY blog we can collectively think of.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

and ? how much they can't be trusted with ANYTHING when it concerns this country.

[top 2 toe red]

What worries me, I don't feel as if I "know" enough people to make a real difference.

I wish I knew of some way to do more in getting the real facts out there.

[nopardons]

It's a shame that your friend's son won't go on record with what he knows, but I do understand his reluctance to be in the eye of this tempest in a teapot.

[nopardons]

Just tell EVERYONE you know and tell them to tell EVERYONE they know and so on and so on and so on.

There are thousands of registered FREEPERS. Take off several 100s, for those will more than one nic, discount the sleeper trolls and the yet to be banned trolls/disruptors and that still leaves quite a hefty number of people out there, telling the people that they know. :-)

PKM, super, super important thread! Nopardons was saying we need to get this info out to everyone [and I definitely agree!]

I had already posted to WL-law that he should send that splendid analysis of his out.

What do y'all think...maybe, Tony Snow and perhaps Dick Cheney himself should also get a copy of this?

...or is it just late, and I am nutz and need to go to bed? LOL!

[Bahbah]

There is more to the story then can be posted on an open forum.

Rats! LOL. If I EVER get out your way I'll take you to lunch.

I think "alledged victim", might be appropriate. I'm becoming more and more convinced some of these pages were mocking old wierd Foley behind his back, perhaps even egging him on for sport so they could ridicule him. Far more likely to me, a group of savvy teenage boys would be cruel, rather than be hapless victims.

Foley was surely a fool, there are many ways to characterize his bizarre, unethical, perhaps criminal behavior, but once the FBI starts questioning the pages, and reading their email to each other, we may have less sympathy for them.

[YaYa123]

Really appreciate your insider take on Jordan.

[newzjunkey]

What is shows is the p*ss-poor state of so-called journalism.

[rintense]

I hope they sue ABC and Brian Ross!

[YaYa123]

From Powerline, a GREAT analogy!!

"But the main reason for the Democrat/press focus on Hastert, to the virtual exclusion of Foley, is that they are trying to destroy Hastert so as to seize control of the House next month. Certainly, when Democrat Stubbs was caught seducing male interns, no one turned the story into an attack on Tip O'Neill. "

Was this kid really 18 when all this internet sex happened? If so, it could be a legal moot point.

I am amazed how the LameStream Media ignores history: the actual sex Democrats have with pages (Gerry Studds) and the they scandalize Foley who talked about sex with former pages.

[Jezebelle]

My exact thought. Who's paying this guy's lawyer?

[LibertyRocks]

I agree with you. It's starting to sound like these "kids" were setting him up all along... I'm not defending Foley, but these "kids" are certainly no saints.

[PghBaldy]

Maybe he could fear being in trouble for not reporting it. He probably also has fears of his reputation being harmed. I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet - that will cost us a lot.

[NinoFan]

This just keeps getting better and better!

What did Pelosi know and when did she know it?

[On the night of the 2002 mid-term election,] the House Democratic Whip, Nancy Pelosi of California, a contender for Gephardt's leadership job, said the Democrats "should have found a way to criticize Republicans more strongly. I do think it behooves the national party to be clear enough about the distinction between the two parties, and we may not have been strong enough with our message." http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec02/shakeup_11-7.html

Pelosi & dems have been in full attack mode ever since. First she got Gephardt's job, and now she is going after Hastert. This is her mindset. Her faux rage and "I'm a grandmother" sound bites don't obscure her visciousness.

Dan rather reporting ..... here now the news...

Most logical explanation is this "Kid" is deep, BUTT-DEEP in illegal activity, and this thing is going to explode like a stiff virgin on prom night.

This may end up bigger than Memo gate, and may burn ABC news credibilty into an ash heap, like a dripping marshmellow on a burning 10 inch Texan stick.

This is GAY-GATE, and DEEP-THROAT is now out of the closet.
It's queer eye for the straight guy, and here comes the FBI.

I thank Brian Ross for breaking this story, and thank god it wasn't me!

Dan Rather, good night America....



I don't care who you are...that was FUNNY!
If ya'all can't laugh at that, you should just git outta here!
