The article links to Drudge's bomshell, ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSER

FAMOUS IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD, with this sentence:

ABC news is made to look like a fool, hyping a story beyond the facts at hand.

In other words, this October Surprise was totally gay.

Quilla, I told you so. (Not you personally, but Freepers). When this starts to wash out, you're going to be amazed.

1) There are FAR more Dem perverts in DC than Republican perverts (and I don't doubt we have a few). Very soon, it will be the DEMS screaming to let this go, to just move on, to bury it. MARK MY WORDS.

2) You heard it hear first: I think, before this all washes out, you're going to see some of these perverts linked back to Bubba's administration, then the Dems are going to be screaming that it's a "dirty trick" to damage Der Schlickmeister's rep.

Main stream media still ignoring the story as they did with Rather. Of course they all know about it because they all read Drudge. How long can they resist this time?

Still, I smell a trap and wonder if there are not more IMs waiting to be thrown down. Surely ABC would have known this would come out. Especially when IMs specifically discussing age were released.

Like I said in another post, I am sure this scandal was supposed to launch in a few weeks. The Woodward stuff was supposed to take center stage for a couple of weeks and then this. Clinton and company decided to launch this thing prematurely because of the backlash he took for the FOX interview and he and the administration saw his leagacy starting to go up in flames. They also saw what the economy was doing as well as gas prices. They saw this election slipping away so they hit the panic button and launched this October surprise prematurely. It is already starting to backfire on them and I don't know if they have any other big ammunition.

Rove and company have not even fired a shot yet and as soon as the radio and TV ads go out showing how kooky the Dem leadership is, the Dems are going to want to cry "uncle." GOPTV will be their worst enemy and it will become another 2002.

House Speaker Hastert: 'The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros'...

YES!! Go on offense!! *Ahem*...

American Thinker nails this issue. You know this has backfired when all the news this morning is "Can this hurt the GOP?", and it is the THIRD story they present. There may be more October surprises, but this first one riled up the GOP base. Dems have NOTHING but scandal to run on, and this one was LAME. I cannot wait to vote!!

How many October Suprises have to blow up in the Democrat's face before they quit? Will they ever learn?

Maybe ABC's bias is the REAL scandal here.

The problem with this "October Surprise" is that it was waaaaaaayyyyy too early in October. I don't think they anticipated all the questions and research that would come with it. Unless they have another shoe to drop the weekend before the election, I agree this is turning out to be a pretty weak surprise. (And a few days ago, I thought it was gonna be effective.)

Here's another question. Are the IMs and emails posted on the blogs genuine, or made up? How can we actually know they occurred as claimed? It's easy to cut and paste electronic data.
