Gannett, title and link only, article is here.
Reynolds' aide, a Greece native, resigns
Title and link from Gannett publications are ok but only the mods can add the link to the header. Posters can only put the link in the body.
Thanks!
That's baaaad.. (but funny)
Pathetic losers, all.
Much like Livingston tried to unseat Newt from the leader's position, this may well backfire on Boehner as well.
Supposedly, there are rumors he was gay and covering up for Foley to protect him.
I'm sure foley knows what it's like to be back stabbed by a Boehner.
Hmmm... I have not heard that, but it's a concern if true...
But didn't the Eagles opine that the Greeks don't want no freaks?
Exactly. A couple of months ago all you saw leading the news were pictures of gas pumps registering $3.25 in big bold print.
This is Fordham. He's a gay man who was Foley's chief of staff for a while. He moved to Reynold's staff.
His involvement in the Foley incident is threefold. First, he was Foley's chief of staff during the incidents.
Second, he was the one who apparently convinced the republicans NOT to involve the entire Page oversight board in the review of the first e-mail. This was the critical error -- if the entire board had reviewed and handled the e-mail, the democrats would have NOTHING to say, since the board includes a democrat.
Third, he was the one who tried to bargain with ABC NOT to publish the IM messages. This wasn't itself a bad thing, EXCEPT that it was reported that he tried to COVER UP the existance of the IM messages, which looks bad.
So for those reasons, this is a good resignation. I still say Shimkus should be removed from the Page board for going along and not letting the whole page board handle the e-mail incident.
I'm reserving judgment on Hastert, although he screwed up by saying he had never seen or heard of the e-mails on Friday, when two other congressmen say they specifically talked to him about the e-mails. It made him look like he was denying taking care of this, and when the truth came out the truth was OK but looked like a coverup.
Oh, sorry, I listen to Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme!
But yet .. Reynolds still hold a leadership committee slot with the full backing of the democrat party
Good info, thanks for reporting this.
If we're getting to this point, where people are resigning merely because of 'gay taint', then it's about to rebound (read: encompass) on the DUms. Once Bawney or another gay DUm is tied into all this (as Rush hinted today), the MSM will shut the whole thing down and move on to something else.
I guess they don't call it Sodom on the Potomac for nothing.
The whole thing gags me.
We have Leadership Republicans who have been partying to no end with our money like drunken sailors, trying to play the Dem game of bring home endless pork and we'll ge re-elected in perpetuity.
Most of this starts and ends with projects that fall under the "Have To" pay union prevailing wages in construction work.
Well...let me tell you that a worker in a union will always vote with the Democrats locally due to arm twisting at the local hall, plus decades long implantations in their minds.
This kind of thinking, which is wrong headed, leads to abuse of all kinds. Hence, Foley. He better fend for his life for now on. There are enough loose people out there who may choose to see him gone in ways he doesn't want to see. The guy is now a pervert.
Well, Kirk Fordham's chestnuts are roasting on an open fire.
People will easily notice the low gas price and high stock market, they do not need the liberal media to tell them.
I don't know how reliable it is.....just saw it on the ABC message board, but the guy who said it seemed pretty staunch that it is true.
Greece is a suburb of Rochester, New York.
