Thanks for that analysis. In the meantime the Istook campaign gets tanked. The same Istook who kept Clinton from getting his cushy office and having to settle for one in Harlem.

I think you're theory is very plausible. Maybe not exact, but in the right direction.

Geez I thought the Dems were the 'enlightened ones' when it came to treatment of gays?
It seems they are employing 'old school' political blackmail using sexual orientation as the key...
This looks and smells to high heaven or perhaps hell....

As sound a theory as I've seen yet. Good work and please stay on this unraveling circus.

That's their PR. Fortunately, that group isn't as lockstep as blacks: between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 self-identified gays voted for W in 2000 and 2004.

The lefty activists are all about "gotcha" politics. That means forced outing, revealing 30-year passed affairs (Henry Hyde), playing fast and loose with facts to make scandals out of thin air... for them to maintain or regain power it's always about their controlling and shaping perception such that it becomes reality even if it's contrary to the facts.

They can't seem to win on merit, but they're always willing to play dirty and defend one of their own, however atrocious, to the death.

Reeks of Clinton and Carville to me. Oh.... has anyone heard from them the past few days??? See Mia T's latest.

Meanwhile, the identity and age of the IMer, Jordan Edmund, has been on Drudge since last night and none of the MSM are reporting it as far as I can tell. I'm waiting to hear ABC break the story.

They knew it wouldn't be enough for dems to win in November over the Foley fiasco alone. They had to make it look like the leadership was involved in a cover up. Still wondering here about Fordham's role .

Interesting way to tell us somebody believes the former page on Istook's campaign is, himself, gay.

If true that would demonstrate that Foley's own "gaydar" works. Bet he'd like to know that eh!

This former page, Tyson Vivyan, that they're trotting out on O'Reilly and Nancy Grace is an odd one, too. Prior to last night, it appeared as if Google had "wiped" him. But, they missed one, "Vivyan, Tyson," on a blackjack high score page, from a bar in Atlanta in 2004. The bar, Burkhart's Pub, is a gay bar.

I've read a fair number of replies from FReepers in OK who are of the opinion that Edmund's boss, Chip Englander, who is also from San Diego, is gay as well.

Hmmm ~ multiple secret outings.

This would take a conspiracy, or a weekend at a townhouse on Capitol Hill ~ one of 'em where they're always hauling in new futons!

I just heard on Fox News an elementary school in Oklahoma City (I think it was) is in lock down after an unusual person was spotted. If you hear anything more please let us know.

Regardless of what is happening with the Foley thing, I don't think Istook was going to/or will beat Henry.
