As I've said before, I'm not much for the arbitrary age-line of 18, but I suppose it has to be somewhere.

But the link Neph has to the Drudge Report's take on the former page's age says, and I quote ...

So, um, I don't see how Foley squirms out of it. Perhaps that really bad incident of I.M sex during a house vote was post-18 (so sinfully remincent of the under-desk BJs of one former PotUS) ... but there were plenty more emails and IMs and other pages. And a reputation for years. And warnings given by Foley's chief of staff to Hastert's chief of staff over 2 years ago, and warnings from other Congressmen directly to Hastert over a year ago.

What's your problem Neph? Are you purposefully wearing blinders?





oh. yeah.

sometimes i forget.
