Well, one of them is lying. Either Palmer or Fordage.
It looks like Trendaul was forced out as well.
"Is this staff member Gay too? It seems that everybody involved in this scandal is Gay!"
BINGO! Thats going to be the next story out of Washington. All these GOP gay staffers running around making decisions they have no business making.
It's not a hit piece on Hasstert. It's a hit piece on the GOP Gay Staffer Cabal running around making decisions they have no business making.
"All these GOP gay staffers running around making decisions they have no business making."
I don't think it is the least bit homophobic or unfair to question whether key staffers may have witheld critical information or made decisions on issues that should have been referred to elected GOP leaders.
I think Fordham is lying. He initially said that he didn't know anything about Foley's behavior. He changed his tune after ABC made public that he offered them an exclusive interview with Foley if they would not show the most elicit parts of the IMs. Then when the finger was pointed at him for trying to cover for Foley he was all but, but, but I told them about Foley a long time ago, yeah, uhhuh that's my story now, I warned them about Foley's behavior even though I said yesterday that I knew nothing about it. It was just all too convenient that he suddenly came clean when the monkey was on his back for his own unethical behavior.
Perhaps you need to read it again...and if after reading it again, you argue it reads otherwise, then you are just arguing SOMETHING you WANT the article to do, not what the article actually does do.
How about any of his friends dieing of AIDS?
He likes the young crowd, but it's a very special young crowd ~ these guys like teenyboppers ~ eventually we are going to trace our route through one or more of the gay "kids" mixed up in this, and we will discover a bunch of 12 year olds at the end.
Ya' see, Foley didn't need to take this "to the Hill" ~ by contacting his targets only through ex-pages, he was able to make sure he had a wide variety of sources, all of which were NOT in the DC area.
Maybe Pelosi did the hit herself.
The IMs are of a much more recent vintange than the time/date stamps created for them. Try June of 2006.
All of them can be telling a slightly different "truth" and still not be lieing.
Ask Liddy who he thinks might have been among them ~ I'm sure he can name them ALL off, 1, 2, 3. Heckfar, I can name half a dozen!
That one kid who seems to have been the ringleader just hired a lawyer who'se ties go back to the Nixon Administration.
I did read it again and you were right to point out that it is another unnamed source that says a meeting was held by Fordage and Hassterts aide.
I suspect a set one with one of two scenarios. They were sexing up their contacts for a video or book and the other much more sinister......BLACKMAIL
This is a "sideways" hit piece on Hastert. That's because the intent is to "cover" for some homosexual friends of people at the WarshPost ~ maybe even one of them with links back to the Watergate scandal.
OOOPSSSS. I suspect a SET UP
What if the intern had been a girl of similar age? Much of this is because Democrats want to rack publies for homophobia. Most of the heat comes because of the gay angle. Ironic coming from the homophiliac party. Hastert is being damned for going light on a closeted gay Republican who evidentally did not go beyond virtual sex, while Barney Franks is among their leadership?
Howie Carr cited a story in the New York Daily News about a long-time partner of Foley's -- a dermatologist (I don't think many dermatologists are minors). I think I've seen a reference to other adult partners, but I don't recall where.
Interesting the MSM hasn't named "long term partner" ~ I think the guy's a loner with a special appetite, and it's not exactly older teenage boys, just their little friends they bring along with them.
Unless you have secret sources of info, you have no basis but your own fevered imagination for thinking that.
I did recall something, however, about adult partners. It was something saying that his neighbors knew he was gay (I don't know whether in PA or DC) because he always lived with a partner.
You missed the part where I knew of a similar situation right in this community ~
