If current or former Congressional pages kill themselves for being outed in the wake of the Foley story, old Brit probably has the same mechanical heart as Dick Cheney.
It is unbelievable to me that FOX news is trying to spin this. (OK NOT)
I think parents will see right through this. Fundie parents I know are all freaked out about MYSpace or just having their kids online anyway. They will know that enough was not done to protect the pages. Whether or not they stay away from the voting booth or vote D is another story.
in‧noc‧u‧ous /ɪˈnɒkyuəs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –adjective 1. not harmful or injurious; harmless: an innocuous home remedy. 2. not likely to irritate or offend; inoffensive; an innocuous remark. 3. not interesting, stimulating, or significant; pallid; insipid: an innocuous novel.
Fox and Hume are living in some warped parallel universe. When a 50 something year old Congressman asks a 16 (or was it 15 at the time?) boy to get a ruler and measure his erect penis, or discusses different masturbation techniques with the boy --- innocuous is not exactly the first word that springs to mind. Unless you're from Fox or the Bush White House where up is down and black is white, etc.
11. The emails I have seen have been rather innocuous
The IM's I have seen have been disgusting and revolting. Do NOT let these bastards get away with parsing words like this. This cannot stand in OUR Congress.
