I see, but Jordan Edmund and his associates didn't have any trouble keeping the little joke a secret, while Hastert and the GOP in the House and the Senate were going down in flames. Nor did they have a problem keeping this joke a secret as long as Jordan's name was kept under wraps.
But since Jordan's name and pictures have been made public, all of a sudden (because of his own concern for his political career,) he and his associates remembered it was all just a joke. As they said, if by mistake this prank got into the hands of enemy political operatives, why didn't they come forward in defense of Foley when they knew about the enormous consequences their silence was creating? They didn't have a problem coming forward now, so why not sooner?
The prank scenario only applies to the Edmund IM sessions and does not necessarily apply to any other exchanges between the former congressman and others.
LOL! If there were more dirty IM's out there you can bet that our sweet hack Brian Ross would've reported them by now. However, the objective here by our diligent media is to keep the confusion, disinformation, and speculation going.
As to why Foley resigned and didn't stay and fight.... the answer is simple... Republicans are decent enough to step down when a scandal breaks out and when they feel they are hurting the Party. A corrupt Democrat caught in a scandal not only stays in power but his Party supports him, and he/she gets reelected over and over again.
The Rats are saying tonight that no one has been found accountable. In fact they are wrong: Foley has been held accountable. He resigned didn't he? Nah, they don't care about Foley, who is ultimately responsible for his own actions. They want Hastert to resign because they know full well that Hastert's resignation will be the end of the GOP in congress.
Should Hastert resign over a joke? Now, that's funny!
I'm saying this to the media... this time you are NOT getting away with it, because we are mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore.
Excellent summary!
Bravo! and Amen.
Bump to that exceptional post, Victoria!
FANTASTIC post, Victoria!
Great post!
They don't care about Fooley because he is already gone. They want to take out the leadership including Bush over this manufactured outrage.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Where is there a picture of the nasty Jordan Edmonds?
