On the Daily Show, the other day, when Stewart was talking about Foley, a picture of Foley came up with the caption "Foley Erect". That was pretty dang funny. :D

I'm always amused when people try to put on party as being somewhat morally superior to the other. The sad fact is political parties are made up of politicians.

Unless it is the democrats that you all are trying to blame this on. I agree with iSm. Sway me, I'm listening. Where is your evidence that the democrats sat on this? Where is your evidence that they had anything whatsoever to do with the release of this information? Show me anything remotely compelling and I just might change my mind.

The credible information out there is that it was a house republican aide that provided Foley's emails to the media. This was confirmed by The Hill newspaper, The NY Times, and by Brian Ross of ABC.

I have no real interest in protecting democrats but I'm certainly not going to believe something just because Rush and Drudge say it is true. Drudge's track record is by no means pristine when it comes to accuracy and Rush will lie through his teeth if there is any chance that it will keep his boys in power.

So, again, I'm listening. Show me this compelling information.

Absolutely. Just as a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested.

I love Clinton and I miss Bubba a great deal. But this is the shape of his library:

I find that to be hysterical.

Shouldn't it have a slight curve to it? ;)

CNN: PAGE LAWYER DOES NOT RULE 'IN OR OUT' PRANK CLAIM... DEVELOPING... Former congressional page Jordan Edmund's lawyer Stephen Jones... BLITZER: He will join us live in the next hour. What are you hearing, Brian, about some of these Internet suggestions, some Republicans suggesting this whole thing is a prank, a hoax and there is no there, there.

CNN REPORTER: "We asked him about that item in the DRUDGE REPORT. He said very clearly he cannot rule that in, he cannot rule that out. He says he is not saying it was not a prank but later in the interview, CNN pressed him on that. He said that he -- he does not read the DRUDGE REPORT, not part of his regular reading and, quote, it sounds like a piece of fiction...

BLITZER: He says the DRUDE REPORT item sounds like a piece of fiction?

CNN REPORTER: He did say that, but important to note he says he is not ruling it in or out.
