1. That they even have to DENY they are resigning is a triumph of sorts.

7. WHAT ABOUT HASTERT?

argh, just a little English Nazi posting this morning.

Actually, the accurate headline would be Hastert not resigning today!

9. Did Hassert and the GOP break another law by protecting a pediphile?

The Catholic church seems to have gotten away with it for a long time, but eventualy all evil deeds come to light.

14. Last night, on "Hardball" (if I remember correctly)...

The question was "In matters like this, if smoke is seen, should the assumption be made that there is fire behind it?" The response was "When it involves minors, assume there's a fire and deal with it."

Despite Tony Snow's assumption that Foley was simply being "naughty," I don't believe there's any appropriate way for a 50-something man to encourage a 16 year old boy to go measure his penis. Call me old fashioned, but that's just the way I see it.

:silly:

11. Fine, stay there, Dennis. You have zero credibility.

Who better to be in a leadership position for the Repugs. Someone who coddles child molesters.

Everything out of your mouth is a lie, like Condi, like Rummy, like Smirky.

You have become yet another liability to conservatives everywhere. (if there truly are any conservatives - I think they have all morphed.)

26. foley nominates Pages to Hastert

FOLEY GIVES PAGES to HASTERT

Foley nominated pages to work for Hastert........
Nominated by Mark Foley and later promoted to work in House Speaker Dennis Hastert's office

Anthony Bonna, a 19-year-old Port St. Lucie resident studying finance at Georgetown University, spent nine months as a congressional page after securing a coveted nomination from U.S. Rep. Mark Foley.

http://www1.tcpalm.com/tcp/cda/article_print/0,1983,TCP...

****this I believe was the drunk page shown with Foley at the convention!

17. Way to go, Donutman!

A real statesman, you are! Hey, if Bush/Cheney and everyone in your Party won't take responsibility for your collective actions, why should you? It's not like you stand for integrity and honor, or anything.

Have another donut, Dennis!

19. What I am thinking...

...is this is what they all say before they resign. If the fat asshole was not thinking about it and feeling pressure about it, why in the hell would he put out a news release that he was not going to do it? There must be a hell of a lot of pressure ~~ and that is good ~~ on the fat, pedeophile-enabler to step down or that press release would not have been made.
