Macsmind notices that Patrick McHenry R-NC put Pelosi and Emmanuel on the spot. From The Hill, which notes that he

... called on Democratic leaders yesterday to testify under oath about when they knew of former Rep. Mark Foley's (R-Fla.) Internet communications with a House page.

...Pelosi and Emmanuel refuse to take a polygraph test over the Foley mess.

Pelosi has also refused to make a sworn affadavit.

Isn't it about time that a special wall to stop the flow of information is setup? I mean democrats are at risk for goodness sakes! :P

Ping to this thread...it may answer both of our questions.

The only problem I have with waterboarding is it would be the equivalent to a Pelosi wet T-shirt contest. The mental image is so horrible I may not sleep tonight.

[SE Mom]

You know- I would never have believed this years ago...but what is wrong with this creeps..is the DO NOT CARE about the United States. They DO care about gaining and keeping power. Period.

[muawiyah]

Got a point.

[caisson71]

Typical liberal Dimocrap, all talk, no action. Holier than thou Pelosi quakes in her booties when threatened with testifying under oath.
All the Foley stuff is over 3 days old and starting to smell.

Some people have questioned "why Foley immediately resigned if nothing was done illegal?" I got to thinking about that and WHY go into rehab immediately? Once you enter a facility, NO ONE (even cops) may contact you for three to four to five weeks (depending on the facility). Is this part of this set up? Was Foley Told to enter a facility until after the election? If so, by whom? Something to think about.

[TASMANIANRED]

Not only knew about it..probably .Managed the leaks.

Old bananas or mosquito bites? I can't bear to look.

[Soul Seeker]

pelosi and her friends won't tetsify under oath, submit to a polygraph and they don't want a former head of the FBI under Conton to lead an investigation onto the page prgram and Congressional involvement.

Yep. I'm convinced. Hastert's the one with something to hide. lol

[ez]

Bump.

Thanks for wising up. ;')

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Thank God for people like Rep McHenry. He's a chip off the old block of another famous Patrick Henry, sans the Mc.

[chiller]

Yahoo Patrick (Mc)Henry ! Someone had the cajones to put those FPOS under the gun where they belong.

My vote for man of the year.

[California Patriot]

Kudos to Rep. McHenry. Buy that man a Miller.

I liked the quote attached to the story: "Now the Republicans are playing with a full deck."

While we can disagree among ourselves about how morally serious this scandal is, and how many people are to blame and how much, I would hope we can all agree that the Rats should be put on the spot about their role in it.

Former Speaker of the House Gingrich was on Hannity's show today.

He said that Pelosi had nominated and supported Rep Gerry Studds to a Committee Chairmanship FIVE TIMES even after he was censured for essentially raping a 17 year old boy.

Studds got the kid drunk and then sodomized him orally and anally.

The Democratic controlled House was going to let him off with even less than a wrist slap until then back bencher Gingrich and other Republicans of courage forced a censure vote.

Former Rep Dornan testified that Studds turned around, bent over, and pointed to his rear end repeatedly as the charges were read on the House floor.

The Democrats responded by giving him THREE standing ovations.

Look at the way Wikipedia tries to downplay the rape of the boy:

"Studds was a central figure in the 1983 Congressional page sex scandal, when he and Representative Dan Crane were censured by the House of Representatives for separate sexual relationships with minors – in Studds's case, a 1973 relationship with a 17-year-old male congressional page who was of the age of legal consent, according to state law at the time. The relationship was consensual, but presented ethical concerns relating to working relationships with subordinates. "

It is a lie that the sex was "consensual." Don't believe that cover up. The kid said he was raped while drunk.

Pelosi stood behind and promoted this piece of evil cow dung.

Now she sits there and spews forth her hypocrisy?

Take a good look gang - the next Third in Line to the Presidency.

Rahm-a-dahma-Emmanuel is going to be on This Week With Stephie on Sunday.

Don and Roma (WLS-AM 890, Chicago) asked Stephie today to asked Rahm what he knew and when he knew it. We'll see.

Stephie missed the point about the sequence and content - another media-maniac who doesn't understand the difference between emails and IM's, or admit that once the original emails were discovered, House leaders immediately called the FBI. The emails were innocuous and the FBI walked away from it. Then came the October surprise IM's, then all hell broke loose.

What is she hiding in regards to this?

There is word that he got loaded and tried to pick up young men outside of the House. That's a screwed-up life to me. At least he got an intervention to face it.

That's what it took for Rush. And almost me after a few years with opiates. There is a combination of non-narcotic drugs that helps to repair back problems. Long narcotic use further damages people's backs by stopping the warning pain from bad moves. A lot of people are just ushered out with another prescription for years and get worse physically. Not me or Rush.
