"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."
This is getting a little too creepy and convenient if you ask me.

Other cruder expletives are also accetable to describe the relationship between two sexually interactive males. Packer and Packee spring to mind.

I believe no one will, not even most gays who do not use those terms either. When journalists are so set in using political correctness, they don't even look to see what real people actually say.

So what is the normal waiting period before widow/widower Stubss can start dating?
To: lunarbicep
The democRATs will do anything to keep the Foley story on the front page!
OK, somewhat crass and with only a few very rare exceptions, the death of someone is not to be celebrated. Sympathy to his loved ones for their loss.

Studds sodomized a 17-yeard old CURRENT page.
But the media sayd "he was over 16 and therefore an adult. No story"
You can bet if MarkFoley were a Democrat, not only would he still be in office, but the RATs would be calling for sexual predator charges against the (adult) 16- and 18-year old boys who baited him.

He'd been hospitalized after sustaining head injuries from an accident while walking his dog. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he was "Arkansided" by the Democrats in an effort to keep the Foley scandal in the news.

"Studds, although he did admit that he had made "a very serious error in ... Studds did not break any US laws in what he called a "private relationship. ..."
It's nice they rewrite history. I doubt the Page he sodomized will be attending his funeral.

Are you wondering if Karl Rove had anything to do with it just to keep his scandal alive? I'll bet they are wondering that over at DU.

"At this point, the R's couldn't buy a break even if Jack Abramoff was still open for business."
Ain't that the truth. The Republicans are down 3 to 1 in the scandal department. We need to bring out the big guns. Karl? Hello?

"Congressman Studds has gone to that male bathouse in the sky."
I am not sure he is going to be in the sky for very long!

He was probably trying to hump the dog and it turned on him.

"He is survived by his husband, Dean Hara." Great, now the obituaries advocate homosexuality. There is not much that can be exposed to kids anymore, and obituaries are now off limits.

It is pretty early in the morning here. But, you are still going to have to do better than this to fool me.
Scrapple face had to be ROLF when they were writing this.
