There He Blows Again

Bill Clinton blew his stack on Fox News Sunday and he's still in the news. The boss of Chris Wallace, Roger Ailes, is pleased.
"I would have paid him 100 grand to help us with
marketing, just to get a half-hour of his time," Ailes said by phone
Thursday. "As it turned out, I got a half-hour of his time and he did
it for nothing. We're very grateful. … He's kept us in the news for
six days."
Wallace's "nice little conservative hit job" questions lead to stressful answers. Clinton invaded Wallace's personal space in a manner that he insists is legal. Had he been as aggressive with bin Laden, well… Here is a transcript of the exchange. You decide.

Wallace inherited all of his father's bad qualities and precious few of his good ones. At least Clinton admitted he failed when it came to Bin Laden. We're still waiting for Mr. Bush to do the same.

There would have been no need for President Bush to concern himself with OBL if Clinton had done his job. Also there would have been no 9-11 either.

great just what we need. limbaugh talking points im doodle format.

There also might not have been a 9/11 if Bush had listened to Richard Clarke, or if Reagan hadn't armed the Taliban, or if the CIA
talked to the FBI, or for any number of other reasons. So far the only people to face up to the question are Clinton and Clarke.
But for Dittoheads that's just too much to process.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 — Top House Republicans knew for months about e-mail traffic between Representative Mark Foley and a former teenage page, but kept the matter secret and allowed Mr. Foley to remain head of a Congressional caucus on children’s issues, Republican lawmakers said Saturday.
Oh my, what will we tell the children?

That some politicians like little boys and others like little girls.

Slope, don't you think that guys like Hastert knowing that Foley had kiddie issues, and still letting him keep his position as the head of a Congressional caucus on children's issues, is somewhat…..how you say……problematic ?

Here are complete facts. Email vs IM:
E-mails vs. instant messages
Hastert, who did not take questions from reporters, called on any person who was aware of the 2003 instant messages to speak to law enforcement authorities. He said no Republican leader in Congress was aware of those exchanges until Friday, when ABC News reported it had questioned Foley about them.
Leadership officials had been aware since last year of the 2005 e-mail exchange, which they described as "overly friendly" but did not include overtly sexual references. They said they did not follow up on them other than to instruct Foley to not communicate with the Louisiana page.

" The complete facts." ?????????

Hey Slope, that liberal rag The Washington Times is saying today that Hastert should resign. Maybe you could email them your list of "complete facts". Perhaps they would find it helpful.

Really now, do we all believe that Hastert's inaction is a conservative/Republican thing? I think if we are to be honest with ourselves we will admit that this is just another event of political self-interest. In the same scenario, our Democrat bastions of piety would likely have committed the same inaction. Forgive my cynicism, but I have little respect for the ethical/moral behavior of most Washington cronies. Does this mean we should trash the political system? Not by a long shot. Just understand the political motivations and manage accordingly.

I heard Ted Kennedy abused Hastert when he was 11 years old.

No problem there Ramrod. If they're guilty - let em dangle.
As long as both parties cover up and enable the guilty, then
corruption will persist. Americans would be wise to all register as independants and make the politicians work a little harder for the vote.
This case is more interesting because Foley was supposedly a child advocate and the Republicans are in charge of our country's moral values.

Larry, were you in the next room pleasuring yourself when this happened ?
