FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 02, 2006
CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi Statement on Speakers Comments Regarding Foley Matter
Washington, D.C. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on Speaker Hastert's press conference on the Republican cover up of the inappropriate e-mails Mark Foley sent to an underage former House Page:
Speaker Hastert again failed to answer the question that every mother and father in America is asking: how could Republican Leaders choose partisan politics over protecting children?
Republican Leaders admitted to knowing about Mr. Foleys abhorrent behavior for six months to a year and failed to protect the children in their trust. Republican Leaders must be investigated by the Ethics Committee and immediately questioned under oath.
now now san fran wouldnt like that
Of course she later took it back. Snort.
1. Being gay;
2. Being gay at some guys who are significantly younger than him, but nonetheless of legal age, but only communicating with them, NOT actually *doing stuff* with them;
3. Being gay at some people with whom he had a working relationship, which is decidedly unprofessional.
That's it? This is NOTHING compared to your average Demmycrat sex scandal. Hell, there wasn't even any sex in this one.
thanx, i seem to recall reading that he was 16 or 17 at the time, so this isn't much of a crime, AFAIK.
yeah - how can anybody from SF complain about gay people trolling?
IIRC, Bill Clinton set the precedent that politicians are above sexual harassment laws.
The whole accusation is that Foley is in trouble for being gay, being a bad writer and MAYBE too stupid to know that people save internet communications.
Pelosi--one obnoxious, power hungry, lying, do anything to win, silly bitch. But she makes it easy for us.
From the link...
Because of the current situation. I am shutting down the board until I can provide a proper statement about my part in what has been going on. I appreciate your patience.
His/her part?
Was she a friend of Gerry Studds?
Nancy is pretty two-faced on this issue. What's the crime, Nancy? Seems like half your district has committed this crime.
Good find.
Does anyone have a copy of what was on there before?
I've got an entire folder on my computer labelled "Incriminating Materials."
Got me. I just ran across it.
Is that the same website that was linked to yesterday showing the actual email, then the altered ones?
I just called her office and asked why this was reported, after the primaries, to the media and NOT the proper authorities. Her office said she wasn't at liberty to say but would pass along any messages to Strech Pelosi. So I added that it seems the party of cut & run is making up for the fact they have no plan for America. Needless to say, her office aide wanted to get off the phone quickly.
Bet it doesn't even have a password just to make it easier on everyone...
Hang Foley, but for a Rep from San Fagcisco this is pretty stunning.
Pray for W and Our Troops
How could Democrat leaders, Nancy???
My, you do have a short memory. Short, selective, and convenient.
