The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux) - Page 132

You know, if BOTH rebublicans AND democrats would stop spending so much time trying to concoct stories that make them look good maybe we'd actually have politicians who have time to THINK about getting us out of the current mess we're in. But, no, it's more productive to spend 90% of the time pointing fingers at the "enemy" and trying to b lame someone else.

WHO CARES whose fault it was, just get on with it and deal with the actual PRESSING issues. IDIOTS!

LOL

back on another note- Claim that IM's were prank

Curiouser and curiouser- this is going to unravel in big ways.

Don't see how that unravels it if Foley still thought he was having a real conversation. Sounds like it could be the kid wants to stay in the closet or he really did goof it so that all his friends could laugh at Foley. Either way, Foley still looks bad.

Nephythys · 10-05-2006, 03:45 PM

No doubt- but I don't think this is the huge OMG scandal that was originally thought.

Bad yes- criminal? Maybe not. Worth the cries for the entire republican leadership to resign? That was ridiculous.

It's as if the dems thought they could throw this out there- the media ran with it- and they seemed to think the entire leadership on the other side would just say "oh gee, we quit" and roll out of town.

It's laughable.

We'll see where all the trails go. I find it almost amusing to see ABC scramble- they were all on the front of this- then the news comes out that the guy was 18, now they have screaming headlines "3 MORE Pages come forward" blah blah blah....but NOTHING seems to be what they say it is anymore.

Meh- I'll just be interested in the end result- what actually comes out when the hysterical shrilling is done.

Alex · 10-05-2006, 04:19 PM

Well, at least ABC gets the comfort of knowing that within one month they were condemned as shills for both the Republicans and Democrats.
