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

I'm listening, Nehp. Plus reading everything about it in four newspapers. Sorry if I'm not up on internet news and bloggers. Please, by all means, point me to some legitimate news about Democrats' involvement.


Oh, and I have zero problem attributing sleaze and slimy motives to the Democrats, so it won't take much to convince me. Show me any legitimate reporting on the subject.

Define legitmate for me. I refuse to waste my time looking for diddly knowing you will toss it out at will if it doesn't suit your parameters.

I suspect what you call legitimate and what I call legit are too far opposite to ever met.

Though this is interesting.

But where are the reports of Dems knowing and holding on to it? Assumptions are useless. To be frank, I assume the worst of everyone in Congress. But where's the actual news of specific events and individuals?

Heh- and every now and then we agree. I don't think much of congress either.

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.

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.

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.
