• A moose bit my sister once...
• Grandma got ran over by a pervert Cumming home from our house, Christimas Eve You can say there's no such thing as Foley But as for me and Jimmy, we believe...
• I'm sorry - AP English? Also - I too am a horn dog. You should see me on the freeway. Beep beep woof!
• Advanced Placement English. It's a term used in the States for high-level classes above the usual student. There are a low number of AP classes. AP Bio, English, US History, Chem, Physics, and the world languages. ...unless that was snark.. oO
• OK, that was great. I'm actually most bothered by the fact that an elected representative doesn't capitalize when chatting.
• According to Fox News, Foley is a Democrat. It is time for Mark Foley to turn over a new page.
• Maybe my tinfoil hat's on too tight, but I can't help but wonder what more serious problem this is supposed to be distracting us from.
• Fox News is a worthless pile of nationwide shit. Fucking overpaid arrogant self-aggrandizing propagandist fucks. Cheneyvision. TinFoilHatFilter: BoingBoing has a few links to Foley & Scientology, but alas the permalink here is borked. (cue theremin) Hm.
• Interesting fracas-â-tete going on over in the blue, ex: I'm always amazed that the creativity and balls of the right-wing spin machine. I thought at the beginning of this scandal, "there's no way that they can spin this." But blaming the democrats for creating a climate so PC that the poor little republicans were too scared to say anything about one of their own preying on teenage pages, that just genius. posted by octothorpe at 7:42 AM PST on October 4
• Quote of the Day House Speaker Dennis Hastert tells Rush Limbaugh how he's making America safe from child sex predators, Democrats and other assorted evildoers: "We're trying to build better protections for these page programs. But, you know, this is a political issue in itself, too, and what we've tried to do as the Republican Party is make a better economy, protect this country against terrorism -- and we've worked at it ever since 9/11, worked with the president on it -- and there are some people that try to tear us down. We are the insulation to protect this country, and if they get to me it looks like they could affect our election as well."
• Something's rotten in the insulation.
• Yep, goold old FUX News.
• So much for Republicans being the party of personal responsibility. "Oh, I was abused as a child, am gay and this should somehow explain my actions!" "Oh, I knew something was wrong, didn't know it was THIS wrong, but I didn't bother to investigate further, yet I am the protectorer of the childers, freedom, justice and the American way." Do they have anything left now?
• Foley is now a Democrat, at least according to Fox. What kinda bugs me is that Rep's may use this to encourage the idea that gay people are child molesters. Or didn't you know?
• Plus, there's that implication that being molested made the guy gay, furthering that groundless stereotype that all gays are pedophiles, that being gay is somehow reversible, etc., etc. And not only that, in putting him into rehab, there's also the implication that the guy was drunk at the time. Even IF the guy is an alkie, it doesn't mean that he was drunk when he was IMming. Or maybe that's the reason behind the crappy spelling. Or maybe that's just a product of the Florida Educational System. Soon enough, he'll be back, proclaiming the Great Mercy of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and all will be forgiven.
• Bitch set me up!
• Dramatic Reading of the Mark Foley IMs
• I just send it to it’s room w/o any hay Had me chortling!
• heckuva handjob, foley
• I want to turn into a reindeer. Why is it I always wind up with superpowers instead.
• WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Republican member of Congress confronted then-Rep. Mark Foley about his Internet communications with teenagers as early as 2000, according to a newspaper report. The report in the Washington Post pushes back by at least five years the date when a member of Congress acknowledges learning of the Florida Republican's questionable behavior toward pages.
• Poll: About half think Hastert should resign Heh heh. "Pole".
• Speaker vows to fire anyone involved in Foley cover-up BWah! HAhahahaha!
• Let me guess -- the usual sliding scale of 'Immediate-Action-Sounding-Great' to 'You-Misunderstood-Me-Criminal-Covictions-First'...
• HOW ROVE TWISTED FOLEY'S ARM
• "He said, 'The White House made it very clear I have to run,'" explains Foley's friend, adding that Foley told him that the White House promised that if Foley served for two more years it would "enhance his success" as a lobbyist. "I said, 'I thought you wanted out of this?' And he said, 'I do, but they're scared of losing the House and the thought of two years of Congressional hearings, so I have two more years of duty.'" Yeah but Rove isn't, y'know, like the most informed of people y'know? I mean - how would he know about Foley's .. . . Lewinskinations??
• The Lewinski was not a minor, was she? Whereas the Foley folly appears to centre on pedophilia. And the imbecility of the Speaker of the House and other unworthies of the GOP. Alas ... (snicker) ... oh, how I relish this unfoleying spectacle!
• Taking a page from the just desserts cookbook eh?
• The Lewinski was not a minor, was she? She was 22, but that doesn't matter! I have it on good authority* that Clinton was really sending the dirty emails to those pages, when he wasn't personaly helping the North Korean scientists build their nucular bomb, that is. * I actually pulled it out of my ass, but my ass has never steered me wrong before.
• The Coming Gay Republican Purge
• In other news, The Miami Archdiocese are constituted and run by the Republican party. I'm pretty sure that's what it fnords.
• The House ethics committee has concluded that Republican leaders were negligent in protecting male pages from ex-Rep. Mark Foley's improper advances, but they did not break any rules in handling the Foley case. *whew!*
• House ethics committee IM transcripts (pdf) Yuk.
• O Monkeybashi, bananatudinous one, can we change the title of this post? To Foleygate? Or something? Donner's Blitzen Again? Okay, no not that one.
• The official Foley thread?
• Aye, that's fine mum. Fine indeed!
• The FBI failed to take action after receiving inappropriate emails sent by Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), then lied about it and tried to blame the government watchdog group CREW.
• Well I find that highly inappropriate.
• "Could it be a Good Thing?"
