I saw that interview with Brian Ross on BOR....he sure started to stutter when Bill told him they knew about CREW and their role in this...

You could see a definite change in his demeanor...IMHO

You really want to believe that he was under 18, don't you.

Why?

I don't know what info may be reliable or not, but this blogger at "Passionate America" claims to have tracked down the identity of the recipient of the really salacious IMs and claims the guy was 18 y.o. then and is now 21 y.o.

Thanks but claiming isn't proof. I am not saying anyone is right or wrong. I just want to know the facts.

Skeeter, I have a whole list of pundits who shoot from the hip due to being spooked by the media. They are cowards and don't spend the time to ascertain the facts. I have removed them from my list of people I listen to.

Jerry Doyle and Mike Savage

I had to turn both of those idiots off today.

They recently changed the local programming here, took off a local talk show and put on Doyle. I think today was it for me.

Savage I only catch if I'm late.

Probably not again.

Update

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.

small piece of advice. Review facts before posting comments.

I know I've failed to do that often enough...

You mean the page wasn't a minor...AND there's no "blue dress." Seems to me to be one LOUSY story so far...(except perhaps for the timing, which is somewhat interesting).

I'm not sure if O'Reilly is live. Seems to me I read somewhere that it's taped earlier. Do you know?

"Now the story is about all the politicians who called typical sex talk between two ADULT homosexuals disgusting."

Good point! The Demagogues who have been all hot and bothered (hypocritically) about this should now have to explain to THEIR constituents why THEY find sex chatter between two adult homosexuals so disgusting.....

No, I REALLY want to see the proof he wasn't. That is what the claim of this thread is. But I must be dense because I don't see the proof, and no one has been able to spell it out for me. They just keep pointing to a website that doesn't make it clear by any means.

If you are going to accuse this boy, I want to see the proof. We all know Foley is a sleaze.

Well if any other news service has stuff they were going to drip drip drip, this will force them to release it within 24 hours. We still do not know if there was a pattern of this from foley.

I don't intend to go back and read the little I read of those IMs, but....I believe the underage comment was with respect to drinking.

Hopefully it's true... But I haven't seen this reported on FNC or other news organizations...

OK, but they have not said he was 18 at the time of the IM either, have they?
