Agreed, but I would like to know why Pelosi et. al. refuse to testify under oath... (send 'em all subpoenas.)

"The fact is I really didn't know any of this stuff until last Friday, almost a week ago. And when I did, Foley was gone within an hour."

Needs to be repeated. Shows the dramatic difference between how the two parties address this kind of nonsense.

When he saw the Washington Times editorial calling for his resignation, Hastert said he wondered what Tony Blankley, the editorial page editor, was thinking.

"Why didn't he talk to me?" Hastert asked. "I've known him for years.


-----


Blankly never called and asked for an interview to get the facts of what Hassert knew before printing that attack ?

Thanks for another short and clear summary/reply:

Never let it be said that the 'Rats don't play dirtier than anyone else out there.

Kinda makes you wonder about 2008, doesn't it?

Hastert has earned more of my respect these last couple of days for not backing off, and for comments such as those in this article.

One thing we should NOT do is STOP talking about this in this forum. We need to get enraged over the Dems trying to use sexual predation on kids to take over the Congress.

I figure this is politics. I've learned that you don't get angry in this business, because if you do, you don't get too many things done."

That's why it's dangerous to go off half cocked like the conservative pundits have been doing the last few days. Hastert did this the RIGHT way, asking for a formal investigation immediately!

About freaking time Hastert came out with this line. Took him long enough, though.

Actually he said this on the very first day, when he wrote the letter to the Attorney General asking for an investigation. That fact seems to have gotten lost in all the screaming for his head.

The Dems have no ideas, no plans, no answers, no solutions for anything. That is why they are talking 24/7 about Foley--they have nothing else to talk about! As long as everyone is talking about this, they aren't asking the Dems any questions. They figure they can just take over every seat up for election by sliding in on the slime trail of Foley. We are too intelligent to fall for this garbage, folks.

Mayor Street of Philadelphia is working hard to throw the Boy Scouts out of their digs here because they refuse to accept homosexual leaders. I'm wondering if Foley and his predatory friends have made attempts to infiltrate this organization. Mayor Street obviously would rather have underprivileged boys out on the street dodging bullets, and the death toll is horrendous out there, than being part of a wonderful organization for boys which does not allow homosexual leaders. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this issue in favor of the BSA. Makes me sick.

I take back my comment about where have you been,...I see you commented on a lot of the threads involving Foley,...I think you and likely others have missed some of the threads where the backroom operation of the CREW crew and the Homo outing efforts were being discussed....

That thread I linked to might be the most resonable place to start...

Not a clue. But if I know Rove, it should be decisive.

Hi Ernest, thanks for the link. I've been on some of the back room operation threads including the World Net Daily story about that a-hole gay activist. On some of them I just didn't make any comments though I did read the material. But yes, I was busy on these threads yesterday but I'm running out of interest on the story other than on any of the "back room operation" type stories that come out indicating this may have been a total hatchet job. Let me know if you find anything else that's interesting.

ABC News ought to look into Brian Ross' "habits." He seems to get off on this just a little too much
You mean, the 'Perverted, sex-with-little-boys-obsessed Brian Ross.'

You know, if this was Ken Starr... they would have him pegged as a nambla member.

Blogosphere is still very active:

Foley Setup? - Part XIV - Putting it together

****************************AN EXCERPT *****************************

Bit h/t to the Commenters at Just One Minute. We bloggers owe our best work to their diligence and tenacity. The following is a complilation of some what they found so far, of what just may be the key to getting to the bottom of a Democratic conspiracy in the Foley Setup.

As I previously posted here, there apparently was a promise of a book deal to pages by a Robin Kasaros. Googling her name brought about useful information such as she hosted “House Parties” back in 2005. No, not where you sell Tupperware, but the kind that like to talk about things like, “Impeaching the President”. This was found on uber Moonbat, and Air America Host Randi Rhoades website:

“Hi. Randi, Ambassador Joe Wilson and Cong John Conyers are all participating in house parties on Saturday to talk about Downing Street and Rovegate. You can find a link to attend or host one of the house parties on therandirhodesshow.com.
More than 200 have already been planned everywhere from Buffalo to San Francisco, Sandpoint, Idaho to Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Here’s the full list of house parties planned so far.

Listed at the bottom of the page:

Robin Katsaros 12900 Atherton Ct. Los Altos Hills CA 94022.

On a another post on the Alumni website (Google cached), her response to the progress of the book was posted:

“Hello all, Yes, the book is still in progress. Outline is complete. Four of the fifteen chapters are in rough draft form (the chapters with input from previous Pages has not been completed - this part will take the longest since I have to spend so much time interviewing people and I’ve left this part until the end, although I have received some input from a very few people.) I have an agent (my husband is a published author), but no publisher yet. I am also working with a company that let’s you self publish, sort of Print on Demand. And yes, you do get assigned an ISBN and it will be available at all the major book sellers. So I will do that if my agent can not get a publisher interested. Pictures have not been chosen, many more edits to go through. It’s a long process. I’ve had to squeeze it in with my other responsibilities, so it’s taking longer than I thought. But it IS going to happen, at some point in time. Thanks, Robin Katsaros

Now who is Robin? Well besides being supportive of the John Conyers agenda, you know “Get the majority, Impeach Bush”, her son is Christopher Karasos who was a congressional page who was appointed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

From his bio page

“CHRISTOPHER KATSAROS is a sophomore at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. He grew up in Los Altos Hills, CA–just outside of San Francisco. ***Christopher served his junior year of High School working as a Congressional Page by appointment of Nancy Pelosi, currently the Democratic House Leader***. In addition to politics, Chris also enjoys shopping, artichokes, the sun and summer in general. Next semester, Christopher will be going to Dakar, Senegal, where he will go to school and work for an NGO (as well as doing some work with the Peace Corps).

According to Chris’s My Space.com page, Chris lists his orientation as “Gay”.

It also lists this blurb he wrote about himself:

I am very open minded and active in the Democratic Party. My junior year of high school I was a Congressional Page.

According to his age, approximately 21 this would have put him in the congressional page assignment in 2003, or around the same time as Edmund.

As you remember from Drudge’s blockbuster yesterday, it was a “source” that stated they knew Edmund and that it all was a prank, an accusation that Edmund’s criminal attorney of course denies.

Now would all this be the reason that Madem Pelosi was so defensive about taking polygraphs? What did she know about Chris? When did she know it?

Much more to come!

UPDATE: On another thread, AJ Strata is ripping the veracity of CREW’s emails to shreds, shades of Dan Rather redux.

More too with Clarice Feldman at American Thinker, and here.

And they'd have dug up his entire sexual history by now. Maybe we need to learn to play a little hardball like the Dems. do. But then, do I really want to sink to their level? Anyway, Ross was right to report that Foley may have had improper communications with a page. But he is dead wrong to not report on any of the mitigating information emerging including that the worst of the IMs was with an 18 year old, that they were egging on Foley for grins and that this stuff fell into the hands of Democratic operatives. Ross is refusing to admit his source on this is a partisan one which tells me Ross has been co-opted and is thus fair game for criticism. In addition, he continues to make unsupported claims about additional pages who have no evidence of what they allege. That's just yellow journalism.
