HOW ROVE TWISTED FOLEY'S ARM:
--Ryan Lizza TNRBut when Foley's friend saw the Congressman again this spring, something had changed. To the source's surprise, Foley told him he would indeed be standing for re-election. What happened? Karl Rove intervened.
According to the source, Foley said he was being pressured by "the White House and Rove gang," who insisted that Foley run. If he didn't, Foley was told, it might impact his lobbying career.
"He said, 'The White House made it very clear I have to run,'" explains Foley's friend, adding that Foley told him that the White House promised that if Foley served for two more years it would "enhance his success" as a lobbyist. "I said, 'I thought you wanted out of this?' And he said, 'I do, but they're scared of losing the House and the thought of two years of Congressional hearings, so I have two more years of duty.'"
The White House declined a request for comment on the matter, but obviously the plan hasn't worked out quite as Rove hoped it would.
is it common practice for these congressman to enter an alcohol treatment center after they get caught in these messes? is it just to keep them from saying something stupid or is it to give the impression that the reason they ed up was because they have a drinking problem? just noticing that they always seem to do that.
"alcohol treatment"
nah, it's a type of asylum, a retreat to hide in, from the press and public.
Rehab has helped my see myself for who I really am.
They convinced you in rehab that you're an Anti-Semite?
Foley's lawyer just announced that the name of Foley's alledged childhood abuser is....
....to be announced some other time. Apparently still alive, fwiw.
Foley's a Repug, he's passing the blame to some priest decades ago, just like all Repugs and Yoni blame Clinton for all the world's ills, which the Repugs themselves have been incapable of affecting in 6 year.
Dana Milbank of the Washington Post says rumors are swirling of a third page abuse by a Congressman involving a 16 year old girl. Hang on, it could get bumpy.
Was this on the inter-nets?
Geee. Maybe when the dimm-o-craps get into power they can vote the
pension of Studd to his husband. Wouldn't that be sweet. Wonder where
Studd's teen-age lover is........I would say sucking hind , but that would
be taken wrong.
The liberal blogs are saying its likely Weller R-IL, until now his seat was a thug lock...

Daily KosGonna have to trust me on this, but I have fantastic information that Weller R-IL (11th District) is the next one coming down in the page scandal. Can't reveal source.
Look at his web page and picture though... he sort of looks like a leerer.
I will post on this shortly with more news... but start asking questions and this one will start to resonate....
As for me, remember I had the jump on the media when Sandra Day OcOnnor resigned... look it up if you want See Below
Oh yeah? Well, blah blah blah dimm-o-craps blah blah, blah blah ba-ba-blah dimm-o-craps blah blah!
You could say he was legal and consenting at the time, but that wouldn't be as fun for you, would it?
Don't people realize how stupid they look when they say things loike "Dim-o-craps", "Repugs", "Air Ameriscam", etc, etc, etc
stupidity is in the eye of the beholder.
Priest Denies Having Sex With Foley
ROME (AP)Guardian- A priest acknowledged Thursday that he used to go naked in saunas with Mark Foley decades ago when the former congressman was a boy in Florida, but denied that the two had sex.
The Rev. Anthony Mercieca, speaking by telephone from his home on the Maltese island of Gozo, said a report in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune about their relationship was ``exaggerated.''
``We were friends and trusted each other as brothers and loved each other as brothers,'' Mercieca said. Asked if their relationship was sexual in nature, the priest replied: ``it wasn't.''
His comments came after the Florida newspaper published a story on Thursday that quoted him as saying in an interview that he had an inappropriate two-year relationship with Foley in the 1960s that included massaging the boy in the nude, but he did not specifically remember having sex.
So "it depends on what the definition of" sex is?
Yeah, the priest "can't remember" if he had sex with Foley and -- surprise! -- blames his own drug problem!

That's ALL you remember, Xbot.
