Rep. Mark Foley has done a good job shifting the blame...
Miami Archdiocese apologizes to Foley
How come we never heard about this BEFORE Foley was caught sending and receiving sexually explicit instant messages to and from teens who had served as congressional pages??
How come Foley did not try to get help???
So, is it now less wrong for a Congressman to be sexually involved with a teenager because the Congressman was diddled on as a child??

Not what I asked. What I asked was a hypothetical.
Damn, the least you could do would be to call me a dumbfuck or something, especially because if Foley was a Democrat, you'd be over this like stink on shit.
Since when is the balance of the House "irrelevant?"
Ah, I get it ... the old "I don't care" routine. Sure ... like I don't "care" about funnin in here.

It's hardly the most penitent of apologies, is it?
Yeah Mark, chill out a bit, dude. There's no need to put a downer on the vibe just because your career's fucked.
On Thursday, Mercieca told CNN that he fondled the lawmaker as a teen, but he said it wasn't abuse because Foley "seemed to like it."
"Once maybe I touched him or so, but didn't, it wasn't -- because it's not something you call, I mean, rape or penetration or anything like that you know. We were just fondling," Father Anthony Mercieca, 69, said in a phone interview with CNN affiliate WPTV from his home on the Maltese island of Gozo in the Mediterranean.
"He seemed to like it, you know? So it was sort of more like a spontaneous thing," Mercieca told WPTV, a West Palm Beach, Florida, station.
"Let's say it was 40 years ago, almost 40 years ago, so why bring this up at this late stage?" Mercieca asked. "Anyway, he will overcome it, with a psychiatrist you know. Mark is a very intelligent man."

^^Agreed, and the media-driven scurrying will continue until Election Day....then, it will be as mv stated, nobody cares.PSUFAN wrote:Actually, I don't think he's really done a good job of shifting the blame...but I am amazed at the scurrying around that he's caused.

So how do you characterize the Bush Utopia that we have now? How about your assessment of the guy who stood in front of the nation and pledged that he would not use the U.S. Military for "nation building" and yet we're doing exactly that?There was neither. The "prosperity" was built on corporate fantasies and the "peace" was nothing more than Bubba sweeping shit under the rug for the next administration.

Yeah, no shite. I understand the why, just not the "how."9/11 changed our foreign policy paradigm. If you don't understand why, you are a fucking idiot.
We invade Iraq, give Paul Bremer two weeks to figure out what to do afterward, and now we're using our army to babysit the murderous dirtpatch that is Iraq? Our soldiers die or are maimed, the insurgents bleed us dry financially for perpituity...
That's the new paradigm??

A conclusion shared by both Duelfer and Kay.
Just when you thought babs had inched ALL the way out on his thin drooping limb.
Drop for fucking twenty, bitch! And try to wake up:
Your confused and grumpy state of denial oddly parallels that of the (unelected) cabal currently circling the drain at 1600 Pennsyvania Ave.
Every single one of your "ditto-head" interpretations of U.S. foreign policy, let alone military blunders, has proven absurdly stupid and backwards. Starting with the bald seething racisim of your stunted headspace and....well, it really doesn't GO anywhere else. That's all you are, just an indefatigable stream of bitter little snips, smears, and most of all, evasions.
Now do twenty more! In fact do twenty-four, one for each year of Skilling's sentence.

Now, go put on your dress and hide under the bed.
Seriously, is there any external threat that you wont shit your pants over?

I'd say that you and other "ditto-heads" that supported the invasion of Iraq on the feeble pretense of some Imminent Threat from "terrorists" are certainly living in caves of gnashing, desperate fear. And those like yourself who supported the Patriot Act and similar rash underminings of America's constitution and basic civil rights are living in caves of cowardice. That's right, Caves Of Cowardice!
I'll bet you're scared to the point of soiling yourself over the prospect of Obama becoming president. After all, he's intelligent, thoughtful, respected and...oh yeah, a "plate-lipped monkey."
One thing you won't do, however, like the Chimp 'n Cheney, is admit you were dead wrong, that immeasurably more harm has been incurred by America because of this heinous act of aggression than any "threat" supposedly posed by Saddam.

Aw, you're just a prick..a killjoy pencil-dick wet blanket who says...what? Oh that's right, you've got no opinions, let alone, etc...
Look, the real subtext here is Skilling and his weird, leveled state of amored denial. He'll presently be negotiating deals on cigarettes and tendering offers of..uh, spread sheets and other tight mergers.
Anyone seen "The Smartest Guys In The Room"? A succinct documentary in which Skilling emerges front and center as the most twisted Cult Leader since Jim Jones--no bullshit. If you think this guy is simply a weasalling manipulative thief, forget it. Enron was WAAAAAAAY beyond mere malfeasance. And far more criminal than mere "overvaluing" stock prices.
And, as amusing as babs is in his pathetic snearing (pawing) snit posts, he's really got nothing to say about anything. Haven't you noticed? This phony who pretends to have some historical perspective and geo-political insight, is just a snotty little brat who just says "dipshit" and "fuck off" when an actual take is expected. He's a punching bag. C'mon, without someone to kick him in the gut and lead him around the room by the ear squalling, he'd just sit there in the corner(psssst..notice how he's oblivious to sports?).
Anyways, with the death of Lay, the rolling of Fastow, and the quick canning of Skilling, we the people are (very deliberately) being denied the real harrowing truth of the utter criminality of Enron, the heart of the Texas Cabal.
Wakey Wake
(try to wake up, you "innocent puppets")
