FOLEY BOMBSHELL COMING ... FORMER CONGRESSMAN'S ATTORNEY TO HOLD NEWS CONFERENCE IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLA.
They're going to announce the oral sodomy at 5:45? That's the bumshell?
Obviously you haven't read much on FR lately or you wouldn't be so blooming uninformed to write such blather.
Wasn't patronizing you, simply giving an informed opinion; I've worked in and around IT, software development, et al for many years.
Didn't he already resign both his office and his candidacy?
Maybe he's just calling himself a dick.
Welcome to FR.
Get away now before you get hooked for good! (or five, six, ten years from now you will be part of our big extended family- complete with crazy aunts and uncles up in the attic)!
The easiest way to get IM cache/history files is right off of the computer used to IM. Next would be from the ISP (In this case, AOL) server. Anything's possible, but the firewall and any monitoring software wouldn't be accessable through unsecured logins or areas of the network. Usually only the IT department has access to that.
Doesn't matter---Patches Kennedy went off rehab. Many congresscritters have run and been elected while in jail or whatever.
I agree. I imagine it will be on all three of the cable news channels.
There is some truth to the IM's but they've been embelished, IMO. For example, the quote from the Herald says that their first glimpse of them indicated they were rather tame and could be read nay number of ways.
Almost every story ABC video has bashes Bush or Republicans in some way. I'm beginning to think they are bias or soemthing like that. But it can't be that they are THAT bias because it's not like they have a Democrat operative pretending to be a "journalist" running a Sunday talk show. Now that would be biased....
You'd think Hilary would have better things to do than post on FR, wouldn't you?
Welcome. Now get your butt over to the Freepathon (fundraiser) and pay the piper.
Thanks
And what's worse, the underage page's login ID was a pseudonym under which Monica Blewinsky operated during her working (cough) under Der Bent One.
You beat me to it.
It's funny how no one ever watches MSNBC - - they just happen to flip to it. ;)
Matthews irritates the heck out of me but I'm addicted.
Even better! Bravo!
What I am suggesting is that we are in danger of making the who leaked it and how it was leaked more important than they shouldn't have been written in the first place.
That being said... love the caps, but you don't need to shout at me... my hearing is fine.
I'm hoping it is something along the lines that his screenname is NOT MAF54.
He didn't touch any of these pages, as far as I have heard, and the age of consent in enlightened Washington DC is 16.
Foley: "I did not have sex with that page." (true) Clinton: "I did not have sex with that intern." (false)
But were these boys minors in DC, since the age limit is 16 there?
ha anyone addressed the fact that the IMs were two-way conversations. Foley was not spamming ex-pages' email accounts. Anyone who did not want to communicate with him simply did not have to answer him.
from the IMs, it sure looks like the page enjoyed it, and admitted he was getting turned on 'a little'.
There's the usual defenses. If not to make him look innocent, at least to ameliorate some of the charges. But of course, it doesn't work. Just because the boy was 16 doesn't make him a minor? What would be saying if Barney Frank had solicited a 16-year-old for sex? Also, the usual "he wanted it" defense and of course, the comparisons to Clinton. Weak defenses to be sure, but they are certainly out there.
