Hastert is dead meat...

[rideit]

Ha. Too fuckin' good.

[BLOOD SWEAT STEEL]

We'll see. Don't get your panties all wet, there is ZERO evidence of any coverup. ....Yet.

Although it sure seems like the only ones who may have truly known about this were hanging on to it until election season. Hmmmmm.........

At any rate, ANYBODY who knew about it should be booted and charged with child endangerment *at a minimum.*

[rideit]

BSS, all silly political posturing aside, I fully agree with you.

Now let's not get all soft.

[irul&ublo]

Given the issue, shouldn't you refer to him as "beat meat"?

[rideit]

Threads with 'beat meat' and 'let's not get all soft' in them are creepy.
Especially given the context!

[Hutch]

You can tell Foley's gay because he wears his phone on his belt.

[irul&ublo]

"Mr. pres....nice ass"

"Stuff it fag boy."

[rideit]

Two down, one to go....

[Obstruction]

Foley: "What's that sound?"

Hassert: "The bus running over your sorry predator ass before it runs over mine."

[TJ.Brk]

Just to play devils advocate here.

What happened to that Democratic Senator that had sex with that minor male page and then got relected.

Actually he is still an elected official. Where were the Democrats and their uproar over that when they controlled the Senate and the House.

I'm not taking sides here, but I find it ironic as hell

[rideit]

He handled the 'outing' much better...that is all there is to it.

[Hutch]

That was the Senate, this is the House. Come on - everyone knows that different rules apply. Senate pages know they've got it coming. Plus, that guy was a democrat.

The one from 1982? Before Iran/Contra, the fall of the Soviet Bloc, the Clinton boom, the War on Terror? That one?

heeheehee!

Are you talking about Barney Frank?

Cause there are two problems with your comparison:
1) The dude wasn't underage.
2) He wasn't a page.

And BSS? The ones who "truly knew about this" were Republicans. You bet they were keeping it under wraps. As far back as 2003 Hastert was told about this. I'm sure he had great reasons for keeping it quiet, namely he didn't care what Foley did to the pages as long as it meant a republican butt in a House seat.

Most of the time we call that "power-hungry"

EDIT: No you're not. You're talking about Gerry Eastman Studds(D) and Daniel Bever Crane(R), both of whom were in the house, and neither of whom is still serving.

Studds got it on with a 17 year old male page (took him to Paris or Portugal evidently), was censured by the house, and appeared at a press conference with the page announcing that this was not anybody's business. At the time (and I think it still is), the age of consent was 16 and the page says he was consenting. In the process he became the first ever openly gay male politician, he was unmarried. He won his re-election bid, and stayed on until 1997.

Crane got it on with a 17 year old female page, was also censured. The girl was apparently willing and attracted to "older men". He was married with children at the time. He lost his re-election bid.

In both these cases, aside from the cover-up efforts of the congressmen themselves, I don't think there was any larger scheme by either party to hide the issue. That appears not to be the case here.

I know but it is just comical how these politicians like to sling mud at each other over shit that each one of them does. And they wonder why polls show that Americans don't trust their politicians or journalists. But it is funny viewing/reading

Proof?

I'm not saying he didn't know, and niether can you. But don't make it out to sound like he's the only one out there with a personal political agenda......



And if he DID, then fry his ass. My original comment stands.

Looks like it might be even more interesting....
ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSER

FEATURED IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD

Wed Oct 04 2006 20:32:06 ET

A posting on ABCNEWS.COM of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser.

The website PASSIONATE AMERICA detailed the startling exposure late Wednesday.

ABCNEWS said in a statement: "We go to great lengths to prevent the names of alleged sex crime victims from being revealed. On Friday there was a very brief technical glitch on our site which was overridden immediately. It is possible that during that very brief interval a screen name could have been captured. Reviews of the site since then show no unredacted screen names."

SEX CHAT WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD

On Tuesday ABC news released a high-impact instant message exchange between full-length and, as ABC explained, a young man "under the age of 18."

ABC headlined the story: "New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote"

But upon reviewing the records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, the young man was in fact over the age of 18 at the time of the exchange.

A network source explains exchanges with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.

Dennis Hastert walked by me at work today.

Yesterday I walked in and Don King was sitting in my chair.

I wonder who will be there tomorrow?

That is all.

Frankly we don't care who sits in your chair. We just want nothing but big globs of snowy weather reports from you. That's all
