Foley and the Blame Game
The American Thinker ^ | Oct 1. 2006 | clarice Feldman

Posted on 10/01/2006 8:58:50 AM PDT by the Real fifi

Pardon me, but I smell something very peculiar in the way we have learned of the disgrace of Rep. Mark Foley.

The email scandal which led to the resignation of the Republican Congressman is reverberating throughout the capital and the nation, as Democrats attempt to capitalize on bad news for Republicans. The seamiest of the released emails, which Foley has not denied, are right up there with Rhodes Scholar and Illinois Democratic Congressman Mel Reynolds’ taped phone conversations lusting for 15 year old Catholic school girls in their uniforms

WOW!! Please ping me if you find any other great work from the New Media!! I was looking at blogactive.com(still could be involved)..but, Jason Leopold makes more sense.

I was looking at the 'blog that started it all' and there was a news guy from Miama(Steve Rothaus, www.rothaus.net: 305-376-3770 or srothaus@MiamiHerald.com) who had posted in the comments section on September 24(the sunday before the story 'broke') seeking information. He writes on Gay Issues for the Miami Herald and has his own blog on Blogspot for South Florida Gays.

Let's guess, shall we?
De Lay is gone, Foley is gone. George Allen is last week's news.

I say they're going with Woodward. It'll take at least 2 weeks for him to appear on every last political show at least once...lol.

In the meantime, unforeseen events will dictate the news.

Hastert only saw the 'too friendly' emails.....Foley was told to stop all contact with the page. And the parents wanted no public attention at the time.

The obscene IMs came from another source that contacted ABC.

READ the entire article for more details...don't fall for the Dem & Soros funded spin!

Please READ the entire article.....before jumping to conclusions.

The House leadership only saw the 'overly friendly' emails....it was investigated & Foley was told to stop all contact wiht the pages. nd the parents didn't want any public attention at the time.

The obscene IMs appeared more recently from another source that contacted ABC after they broke the story!

Rahm Emmanuel is blasting Tom Reynolds for not doing anthing about Foley. I wonder how Rahm feels about Clinton pardoning Mel Ryenolds at the adivce of the Chicago City Council.

Wasn't emmanuel working in the White House when his boss was chasing a young intern and when his "bent" dna stained her dress in the Oval Office?

Having nightly phone sex on a phone line that the "enemy allegedly could listen to??

Hello, hello; rahm emanuel???

I think we need a new expression for MSM story incubating.

Is there such a thing as "story red shirting?"


(redshirting in school sports is when you hold a player back in a grade to increase the number of years they are eligible. The youngers are about to be biologically bigger than other students in the same grade.)

Thus the MSM is able to "red shirt" a story to the politically opportune moment rather than reporting the story. This "red shirting" is unethical on ABC's part.

The liberal democrat's party, aggressively recruits perverts, so pray tell how some of those scumbags wind up in the Republican party?

Could it be that they are scum bombs planted by the Dems?

Woodward never disappoints his base.

They have made him a multimillionaire especially on the cost of "deep-throught" who was used unmercifully and is scraping by poor!

Foley's behavior is despicable and must go!

However can you possible find any more unsympathetic "reporter" than brian ross, who always remind me of looking at a live RAT with his small RAT looking mouth?

In many ways his "reporting" is a copy of dan blather!!

===========================================================

Brian Ross of ABC News is the reporter behind the story that Rep. Dennis Hastert is being investigated by the Department Of Justice. Ross is sticking to his charges despite vehement denials from both the DOJ and Hastert himself.

Some may recall that Brian Ross has been involved in past journalistic controversies. Just last week, Mr. Ross reported he was tipped off by unnamed “senior federal officials” that his cell phone was tapped by NSA.

Last month, Ross was one of the first (if not the first) to report that Rush Limbaugh “had been arrested.” Reports which turned out to be greatly exaggerated, but which Ross never corrected.

In January, Brian Ross was the first to promulgate the claims of the self-proclaimed NSA whistleblower, Russell Tice. Ross treated Tice has a highly credible source even though Tice had been cashiered from the agency due to “psychological problems.”
