They'll call it a "gay bashing" by some Right-Winger of course. So the Rats win on two counts.

I can't wait to hop over to DU to see them lament his death.
Can you imagine the twisting and turning over there?
Or will they ignore his death completely? All thirteen of 'em?
To: dfwgator
Well, no, if you're talking about why it wasn't included in this story, this is why. I get the Boston Globe and I'd be pretty surprised if they don't go into his affair with the teenage page in the obituary--it's the one thing everyone knows about him, if they know anything.

How many people sustain head injuries while walking their dogs? Fox News has yet to report the COD. But they say it happened very late last night.

It took 15 posts before someone mentioned .. IMO .. an obvious, "Something that makes you say .. Hmmmmmmm"
"He'd been hospitalized after sustaining head injuries from an accident while walking his dog.
I'm probably out of line here but .. I live in rural Pennsylvania and we're gearing up for the traditional, annual "mailbox bashing with a baseball bat" regata held every Hallowe'en.

It's only a scandal if there's no sex and the perp is a Republican.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

He has something in common with Marilyn Monroe and Mary Jo Kopechnie.
Killed for the convenience of the democrats.
He probably liked dressing like Marilyn as well.

> At least be honest: Studds was a ranking member of the House Democratic leadership and congressman who performed statutory rape of a 17 year old boy to then go on to stay in congress.
He was censured for it. The bastard turned his back on the Speaker when the decree was read.

it's the one thing everyone knows about him, if they know anything. Outside of Massachusetts, yes. But they obviously didn't care about it in-state since they voted him back 5 times.

You can bet when they print Foley's obituary, they'll devote several paragraphs to "FoleyGate"FGS, when they print Hastert's obit, they'll focus on FoleyGate.
