Limbaugh Blames Pages For Foley’s Misconduct
Limbaugh Blames Pages For Foley’s Misconduct
Today on his radio program, Rush Limbaugh blamed Congressional pages for Mark Foley’s misconduct. He said that the communications reported by ABC were example of “young kids” who like to “make fun of gay people.” Rush’s evidence? As a child, he used to order refrigerators over the phone for adults he thought were “odd or weird” as a prank. Here’s an excerpt:
Back in these days you could call Sears and order a refrigerator on the phone. I had a teacher living up the street and it was the biggest thrill in the world to just call and order a refrigerator and watch Sears deliver it to an unsuspecting teacher and his wife, and far stranger things than that. But we always picked out adults that we just thought were odd or weird, and it would be fun to make fun of them, and I don’t think kids today are any different…
But you know as well as I do that young kids make fun of gay people. They make fun of the way they talk; they make fun of the way some of them walk and so forth. Who knows what the word around town about fellow Foley was. Who knows? We all know that young people gay bash. Young people do a lot of stuff. They don’t have the maturity to understand this kind of stuff…
I tell you, folks, you’ve got this page out there; you probably have a bunch of pages laughing and making fun of Foley and the way he comes on to them, and he’s gay and so forth, so they egg him on and so forth….
Matt Drudge is advancing the same incoherent story. At the same time, more pages are stepping forward with details of unsolicited advances from Foley. One page told ABC, “this was no prank.”
what a bastard. these guys will try anything to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions… just more of the same from the Fake Values Republican Majority.
The “anything goes as long as I get my dinner at Signatures” GOP.
The “Antyhing goes as long as you don’t get caught” GOP.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:02 pmThe e-mails that were responsible for breaking the scandal were a prank. All the others, probably not.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmActually,
The page that had the IM’s admitted that it was a prank. They did it with the intention of making fun of a gay man. This isn’t made up, the page admitted to it already. Pretty sad that our children think it is funny to make fun of someone simply for being gay.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmThus speaks Mr. Responsible Citizen. Apparently his moral values haven’t changed since he was a kid.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmYou’ve got to be kidding! So what if the Pages don’t know how serious this is. Foley is an adult. He DOES know how serious this is. The best excuse he has is “I didn’t know anyone would see the emails.” and that doesn’t make any of it any better.
Stupid fat man.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:03 pmAnyone catch the it is okay to gay bash sub-text in this speech? Not only are they saying Foley is not to blame, because it was bunch of kids having fun, but it is okay to bash gays, because well that is what kids do.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:04 pmPoor Foley. I’m sure those pages are a scary bunch. I would have resigned, checked myself into alcohol rehab, claimed to have been molested as a teen and outed myself as a gay man if I were completely innocent of any wrongdoing as well. Those Republicans are such victims! Seriously, Dems are so mean and spiteful and have all the power in DC and the media.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:04 pmBill Maher made the same assertion yesterday. Of course, he’s a comedian being funny. Oh wait, that’s Rush too.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:04 pmSo he’s always been an obnoxious bully jerk then!
“Biggest thrill in the world”?!!
“and far stranger things than that”?!!!
People actually LISTEN to this twisted individual!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:05 pm” Hello, Slipshod Foods? Yes, well, I’d like to order a truckload of that spinach you had to take back last week, still got some?”
October 5th, 2006 at 6:05 pm………
“Oh, good, yes, well my name is Bush Limpwad, and I live at_____________________ “
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! People will see right through this moron! You know when they lower themselves to “blame the kids” they’re all but finished!! Moves of desperation we are witnessing right now, folks.
And, I would imagine that in many a person’s mind, the fact that these adults would “blame the children” makes them complicit and criminal as well. Obviously, they have no respect for the law if this is truly how they feel.
Thank god it won’t fly legally or with the american public. It will only serve to revulse and repulse them more with each passing day to realize how “unsafe” our children are in the hands of the GOP….”if they can’t take care of our children (and keep their filty hands off of them!) then how can they possibly take care of this country?”…..
This guy is certifiably nutso!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:05 pmDrugbach just finished himself off!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pmThe e-mails that were responsible for breaking the scandal were a prank. All the others, probably not.
What kind of prank was Foley trying to commit by sending suggestive emails and IMs to pages???? Those damn pages, forcing Foley to IM them and talk dirty!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pmWhile I do not believe this IM was a scam, I do pause when I hear something Bill Maher said on CNN.
He mentioned that you can’t just think of these kids as completely innocent. Kids these days are very sexually active at very young ages - and I wouldn’t deny the possibility that the kid knew exactly what he was doing when he chatted with Foley.
But with that said, I not only don’t think it was a scam - regardless if this kid was of legal age or not, regardless if he was gay or not, regardless if they actually ever met up or not… this kind of relationship is not appropriate in this setting.
And finally, younger men are just as supseptible to sexual abuse by older people than girls. So just because this was a male page, doesn’t mean he had absolute control over the situation.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pm… some would say that all fat white Republican drug addicts are either pedophiles or perverts…
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pmSears should now charge Limp-baugh for a refrigerator, with all those years interest…
October 5th, 2006 at 6:06 pmapril fools!
you just jerked off in your house office and i’m not even gay!
punk’d!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:07 pmFoley is the victim here, god dammit! All he wanted to do was get these kids drunk, in the sack and get away with it. That’s not too much to ask is it?
October 5th, 2006 at 6:07 pmstupid republicans are now going around blaming kids for a pedophile’s actions? wow, you nutballs have really lost in now.
so much for you so-called values.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:09 pmBlame the victim. How original.
Goper’s Lament (Hard To Be A Republican)
October 5th, 2006 at 6:09 pmFor far too long now, Rush Limbaugh has made a living attacking people for their weak responses against sexual predators. He has gone out of his way to frame the issue as a problem with liberalism (one of our nation’s core values given to us by the framers of our nation’s Constitution). Now that he needs to walk the walk of his own vitriolic rhetoric leveled for years against Democrats and other non-Republican thinkers, he stutters and becomes relative in his perspective. What hogwash! Your career as an American commentator is over Mr. Limbaugh. You are a perverted menace upon the airwaves. Charlatan through and through! -Kevo
October 5th, 2006 at 6:10 pmPretty sad that our children think it is funny to make fun of someone simply for being gay.
Comment by Roger_Roger — October 5, 2006 @ 6:03 pm
First of all, if you are at all right, then Foley is NOT exhonerated, because he believed he was hitting on a 16 year old BOY.
Second of all - our children? It’s you homophobes on the right that teach your kids to hate gays and harass them. We teach ours to respect people of all types. This wasn’t our anything. You own it. Take responsibility.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:10 pmof course! the pages were asking for it… it’s their own fault for being young, male and trusting… blame the victim!

October 5th, 2006 at 6:11 pmRush,
October 5th, 2006 at 6:12 pmCut back on your medication your delusional. When will someone hold these assclowns responsible for the dribble the speak? You’re still a loser, always have been.
Foley is an innocent flower, and those predatory boys just wouldn’t let him alone. Waaah.
That picture is begging for a caption contest, by the way.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:13 pm#3 Actually, that has got to be the dumbest thing you have written. And you’ve written some pretty dumb things. Have you read the other electronic coorespondence McFeeley Foley has put out? “Better drink at my house so we don’t get caught” “Do I make you a little Horny”.
Indefensible and for the coverup crap that the Republicans have created they deserve all the heat they are getting. Look at how they’re eating they’re own now.
Your sick, really sick.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:14 pmActually Rush is correct.
That doesnt mean its always the case but what is important is that Foley engaged in this behavior and IMs, egged on or not :D
October 5th, 2006 at 6:14 pmThe page that had the IM’s admitted that it was a prank.
Comment by Roger_Roger
Maybe you’ve got a link for that one, big guy?
October 5th, 2006 at 6:20 pmLimbaugh ought to stick with something he knows about. Most kids do not exhibit the sicko behavior to which he attests. Rush was a sicko then and he’s a sicko now.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:22 pmFoley going into treatment for alcoholism may help his alcohol addiction but it certainly does not begin to address his “mental illness” and addiction to young boys! Alcohol, after all, is a central nervous system depressant, as everyone knows - coupled with the near perfect keystrokes of his typing and when you look at the rapid-fire responses and replies he made, this was definitely not the work of someone “under the influence of alcohol”.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:23 pmGuess they thought this might help but his own brother in law said he had no idea Foley had a problem with alcohol….soooooooooooooooooo there you have it..alcohol a convenient rehab to jump into to try to blur the edges of his “real problem” which is predatory behavior toward a minor and/or pedophilia - for which much counseling and/or institutionalization is necessary.
Just the fact that Mr Gay Basher himself is trying to empathize with a gay man is enough to tell you that he’s twisting himself in knots to defend these guys. Can any of his gay-hating listeners actually be out there saying,”Yeah, Rush. I feel sorry for the gay guy. It’s not his fault. It’s those good-for-nothing teenagers.” ???
October 5th, 2006 at 6:23 pmRoger, why are you and freinds still trying? Its a done deal man, Foley is what he is.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:24 pmThis is the “typical DARVO” tactics used by rapists……Deny, attack, Reverse Victim & Offender….Rovereich’s brainchild! The rapist says….”she was dressed that way and was asking for it”…..the pedophile says that the “youngster was egging him on” - give me a break! We ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED HERE and to spin it at all is criminal.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:24 pmdon’t blame rush. it was just the oxycotin talkin’.
October 5th, 2006 at 6:24 pmI’m assuming that I’m not the only one who thinks this is the most absurd thing I’ve read all day, right? Man, that Rush is one whacky guy.

October 5th, 2006 at 6:27 pmWhat if the outed page wasn’t just doing a prank, but came up with that story to cover for himself when he was outed so that his friends, family, and Oklahoma Republican politician employer wouldn’t think he was gay?
October 5th, 2006 at 6:28 pmBastard…he is evil to the core.

October 5th, 2006 at 6:29 pmI wouldn’t be suprised it the far right religious listeners of his don’t take to kindly for this new angle he’s working on. With more pages reporting Foley episodes this could blow up in his face faster than he can down a fistful of percidan. (not sure of the spelling and don’t really care).
October 5th, 2006 at 6:29 pmRogerRoger,
Hmm according to CNN the Pages family thinks the kid is a hero for outing your scumbag Foley, emails and IM’s. Nothing there about the IM’s being fake, god you people are really that stupid.
People that are innocent don’t usually resign, clue number 1?

October 5th, 2006 at 6:34 pmFools! It’s obvious it is the fault of the parent’s of this kids for sending them into such a dangerous and perverted environment that is DC. If Clinton didn’t prove to the God-fearing and Jesus-loving American parent that politicians in DC are looking for hot, young meat, then those parent’s should be held liable. Hell, they are probably liberal Democrats looking to pimp their own kids out for personal gain. Certainly, Foley can’t be blamed for this!!!
October 5th, 2006 at 6:34 pmSpoken like a true Republican. They will do any low, slimy, dishonest thing, and so they assume that everyone else will, too. They tell lies about their political opponents, so they assume everyone else does, too. They gay bash, so they assume that everyone gay bashes.
I’ll bet Rushbo did all that stuff, but I’ll be there was no ‘we’ just sad little Rushbo, sitting home alone trying to hurt other people. Same thing he does now, come to think of it.

This is just a stunning logic! The supposed prankster, Jordan Edmund (his identity, btw, was leaked not long ago, and he’s a straight Republican, so there could be a chance he invented this story not to blamed for bringing this on GOP) engaged in some explicit IM with Foley.
The ‘over-friendly’ e-mails that broke the scandal have nothing to do with him.

What Foley did was say, “I think jail bait is the most delicious kind of bait.”

At the beginning of the school year, one of my 17 year old students started flirting with me. I told him that I was old enough to be his mother. End of that problem.
Any moral adult would do the same thing. It’s easy to turn a man off by referencing his mother in that context… Or, his father with his mother.

October 5th, 2006 at 6:55 pmLimbaugh is a mean-spiritied egomaniac who is being forced to face the reality of his insignificance as his delusions of self-righteousness and control over political events are being replaced by fallibility and impotence. And by the way, anyone who doesn’t see Russ Limbaugh as being odd and weird should get into analysis as quickly as possible.

October 5th, 2006 at 7:02 pmGeorge W. Bush was never a fiscal conservative.
by Ross Douthat & Reihan Salam
10/09/2006, Volume 012, Issue 04
WHEN THE Washington Monthly recently asked seven conservatives to explain why they were rooting for GOP defeat this November, some of them complained about the Iraq war, some about the Bush administration’s expansive view of executive power, some about the GOP’s opposition to stem-cell research. But nearly all of them agreed on at least one point: If you were to boil down the domestic policy failings of the Bush years to just three words, those words might be spending, spending, and spending.
And todays “Worst Troll Persons in the World are….roger roger and paul!”
October 5th, 2006 at 7:04 pmHey, gang, I am as offended as you are by Limbaugh’s spew but you underestimate at your peril Rove & Cos ability to spin this thing to their advantage. Notice the difference between the way the right is handling this versus the way they handled previous scandals. They washed their hands quickly of Delay and the other scoundrels caught with their hand in the cookie jar. The difference: the stakes are higher this time. Faced with the very real possibility of losing the House, they are going to fight this thing with every ounce of their strength. (Remember, too, that the House has never changed hands without the Senate doing so as well.)
So, what to do? You’ve got to do more than pile onto this and other progressive blogs (as much fun as that is!) Write letters to the editor. Contribute to and GO TO WORK in your district for the Democratic candidate. Call into local (and national) talk shows.
Right now, the Grand Ole’ Perverts have got their firing squad arranged in a circle. Do not make the mistake of believing they won’t get their act together on this issue.

I thought surely it would be packed. The closest college held a debate a while back about the war, and parents of fallen soldiers were there. I thought there’d be no one at this talk, and there were people standing up in the auditorium because there were no seats left. I thought they would be there strong. No one. No one.
I’m so disappointed. I undersatand that maybe it was not publicized enough. But there HAVE to be activist groups on campuses. I feel that I failed, by not doing my part to publicize. I will not give up however.

Were working on it southpaw don’t give up so easy man!! Bawwhaha
October 5th, 2006 at 7:43 pmRush Limbaugh must be a disgusting pervert himself to dare say those Pages victimized Mark Foley a proven sexual predator pederast > Foley stalked them for perverted sex! Rush should be sent to prison himself!
October 5th, 2006 at 7:52 pmBlaming the victim, eh? I supposed the pills were to blame for Limbaugh’s drug addiction, too.
October 5th, 2006 at 7:52 pmYes, Hannity and Gingrich were just pushing the same slop on the Hannity radio show. In the words of George Costanza–“they got nothing.”
October 5th, 2006 at 7:57 pmThanks, DNBoo. I have not given up, nor will I. Peace for now, it’s 8:00 ET here and time to watch KO knock another one out of the park!! God bless Keith….
October 5th, 2006 at 7:59 pmBTW, for the caption contest…
“I’ll give you a nickle if you tickle my pickle.”
October 5th, 2006 at 8:00 pmtheory: methinks rush doth protest too much. i think he might play a part in all of this debauchery, and not a bit one. the neocon thirst for young boyblood is not easily quenched.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:00 pmThe GOP actually stands for Gays Obscured but Protected
October 5th, 2006 at 8:01 pmpages have parents. the parents will be mad when they hear what rush has said about their sons. it will mean more than just losing listeners, it will mean serious trouble for rush.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:01 pmRush is a truely amazing person. He orders a fridge for some strange folks down the street and then blames children, teenagers for outing a member of congress as a gag. Interesting, perhaps we need to out Rush as an idiot. If Mr. Foley is gay, that is his perogative and right as a citizen of the USA. If, on the other hand, he broke the law by soliciting young people via the internet then he is a pedofile as well. This does not mean that all gays are “consumed by sex” any more then hetersexuals. Nor does it mean that gays are all pedofiles. Both couldn’t be further from reality. But, the Republicans are what they are, closet gay bashers and closet bigots.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:12 pmRush Limbaugh is a boil on the ass of America. The presenting “symptom” of our collective greed, stupidity, and fear. It’s time to get on antibiotics and drain the puss. American needs to come clean, wake up, and let the grownups take charge. Simple. Bye Rush, Bush, Rove, Rummy, Chainy saw, Rice…etc.
They are all the same………..birds of a feather flock together.
Their time is up
October 5th, 2006 at 8:28 pmI knew they’d blame the children. I bet if something bad happened in the middle of a forest, conservatives would blame it on a vast left tree conspiracy out to get them. They’d blame the grass for egging them on about insulting the willow trees.
October 5th, 2006 at 8:43 pmMost “Born again Christians” I know (includes family members) love Rush bag, Slantity, and O’Lielly– go figure. And I mean “love” those dirt bags they never miss a broadcast.

We’ve gone from the most educated in the world to one of the least educated of the Industrialized Nations.
It’s what happens when people suspend the demand of proof and facts for the allowance of emotion and gullability.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:02 pmGood evening lovely people, is there anyone who needs some slappin’?
October 5th, 2006 at 9:09 pmRushy looks like he would like a good ol’ fashioned slap.

I am too stupid to understand that.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:11 pmI think that Hastert and Cheney forgot that when they were “bringing home the bacon” they were wupposed to save some for the family dinner….
October 5th, 2006 at 9:13 pmSo, he used to waste Sears time and money by having them deliver a refrigerator to somebody that didn’t want it. He should of have spent time in Juvi for that.
So, he was an eliteist xenophobic a hole back then, just like he is now.
Yes, because republicans perpetuate homophobia to their kids. My children would be dispilined for treating somebody differently for the way they walk or talk. That is a shollow republican trait.
Just ask the republican House leaders. They all knew the word around town.
And with the dumbing down of America, the republicans would like to make the problem even worse.
Pure 100% bullshit.
Next!
October 5th, 2006 at 9:14 pmMy dog, his name is Baloo, from the Jungle Book. That’s all I was saying. You’re not stupid, ForTruth!!!!
October 5th, 2006 at 9:15 pm125 his immenseness [Rush] would snap the vest button off his uit vest at such great force as to injure a person or animal, maybe even low flying aircraft,,,
October 5th, 2006 at 9:15 pmMan, I hate when I typo. Supposed, was the intended word. Sheesh!!!
October 5th, 2006 at 9:16 pmI used to think I was a really bad typer, now I know that not to be true, I am a really good drinker instead. -Boo
October 5th, 2006 at 9:20 pm127 for thruth–Oh, you weren’t talkin to me….You’re still not stupid….I think I am….
October 5th, 2006 at 9:20 pmStop while you’re ahead Boo—I tend to make a Hastert (a$$) of myself when I drink and post….recalling football/alcohol/infuriation/posting/foot-in-mouth. But you’re probably better at it than me.
Maybe we’ll be suitemates with Foley!! CYA, and I ain’t being fecicious….
October 5th, 2006 at 9:24 pmWas Rush molested as a child? I won’t go on to say the obvious.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:25 pmSo, what is Rush’s point?
Yea, teenagers are evil. Teenagers like to listen to that rock and roll devil music. Teenagers have no respect. Teenagers don’t understand we old folk had to walk 20 miles to school in 3 feet of snow up hill both ways.
We get it. Teenagers are also on Rush’s enemies list.
So what? Mark Foley is an adult who had the power to turn his computer off before he started soliciting internet sex from teenagers. And Hastert, or his aides (who were probably evil teenagers, too), or Boehner, or Reynolds, could have nipped this in the bud months or even years ago by reprimanding the Congressman in secret.
They decided to cover it up. They screwed themselves. So stop blaming the young whipper snappers for “egging” Foley on.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:30 pmSubordinates always use their inferior positions and lack of power to control & dominate their superiors….. derrr de derr der
October 5th, 2006 at 9:35 pmLook–it was the refrigerator’s fault. I mean, the refrigerator was a real player in this. I mean, the refrigerators WANTED to be delivered. They were just laying there, thinking, it would be funny to be up on someone’s doorstep, all there and stuff. It’s crazy how all you people can blame Rush for his behavior. There was no doubt that the refrigerators inherant will to be delivered was what caused alllllllllll this crap. For the love of coolant, don’t blame the repubs.
The next rally I go to, and I know you will be at THIS one, will be to free fridge.
Get the signs ready people.
October 5th, 2006 at 9:35 pmI would add just this comment:
October 5th, 2006 at 9:39 pmWho cares what this a-hole has to say?
(I know. Exley and some others)
Hey, with all the craziness, you think I could register my dog s a Dem? He would lift his leg to wiz…..
Ahh, never ye mind.
Have y’all seen Waking Ned Divine? Don’t you wish you could see a certain someone (the 30% of Tuleigh Mor Dew, or someting) being the one who goes off the cliff at the end… to some beautiful Irish celebrational jig? Too bad there’s not 20 mill behind it…..

[GOP]….favor a base-activation strategy that highlights the differences between the parties and attempts to keep the national news media and Washington elites nipping at the GOP’s heels instead of lunging at its throat. After five years of stunning success, the *media part of the Bush strategy looks to be a lost cause.
Bwahahaha so much for the *media pundits!
October 5th, 2006 at 10:24 pmProbably time to let this drop. Nancy Pelosi need not weigh in. Let them make more and more of their inbred mistakes.
The Repubs are stewing in their own juices. All the best “flavors” will be coming out in a couple of days, then we can flush them all down the toilet come November.
Meanwhile, John Warner held a news conference today to try to explore changes in strategy for Iraq…..hard to swift boat Murtha when one of their own wants to change course, eh?
October 5th, 2006 at 10:34 pmYes the cards are to balme for his gambling addiction also, and women are to blame for getting raped, and children are to blame for getting themselves abused, and the poor are to blame for the bad economy, schools, etc.
This is no change from RL’s nomral MO: blame the victim.
October 5th, 2006 at 10:37 pmSo America’s premiere child molester (if we’re right about his secret little trip to the Dominican has any legs) is taking cues from Matt Drudge? Good, Rush, keep it up.
Anyway shaking head)… In light of the premiere of season three, devotees of the show Lost may find this post, “The Lost Administration” interesting. Has it ever struck anyone at how closely the administration resembles the Others in how they treat us, the castaways?
Spoiler alert in advance for anyone who hadn’t seen episode one of season three.
October 5th, 2006 at 10:39 pmNope, haven’t seen it. 8]
He, Ned, sounds terribly like our drunken bus driver of doom, Kommandant Chimpy, steering, somewhat, for that cliff looming ahead…
October 5th, 2006 at 10:44 pmRush thinks if you are not the predator, you will be a victim. Hmmm… what could that be a defesive reaction to?
Free analysis for ya.
October 5th, 2006 at 10:44 pmAn oldie but a goodie:
What’s the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenburg?
One’s a flaming Nazi gasbag and the other one’s a dirigible.
October 5th, 2006 at 10:45 pmThis country really is run by a bunch of addicted, alcoholic, co-dependent, responsibility-avoiding, predator, enablers.

Not a political flick, but so good!!!!!!
October 5th, 2006 at 10:52 pmI think Rush Limbaugh should try self trepanation for a new hobby, really it’s such a constructive hobby for pundits, besides, just look at alll that available skull to drill in!
Why that forehead looks like the Alaskan Slope ferkrissakes!
Rush Limbaugh poster child for Self-Trepanation.
bwahahaaaaa
October 5th, 2006 at 10:57 pmSorry Gang, I skipped right over all the post’s…I like this weirdo as much as I do cow coulter and o’lilie…. Why any one would listen to what a huge, ugly, no neck wacko with 3 butts (1 in his face and 2 on his back side) and pills to take care of his tiny stick is beyond me. Hell he’s so awful he has to go to a foreign country to get lucky with kid’s himself….Yikes!…….Blessings
October 5th, 2006 at 11:04 pmFoley: Do I make You a little horny?
Sounds like Foley is the one thats leading the conversation and asking all the questions not the kid. Anyone with an ounce of honesty knows that Rush is a PIG.

October 5th, 2006 at 11:06 pmMaybe since he didnt offer the kid Jesus Juice, oh right he did try to intoxicate them… nevermind :-)
October 5th, 2006 at 11:09 pmMy question is, why did Rush and other Republican pundits RUSH to make this a political spin? This is a criminal act, not a political one. Hey, I admit that this puts Republicans in a bad light, and I’m dying for the the congress to change over, but this could have been anybody, a democrat or a republican.
October 5th, 2006 at 11:09 pm#150. The Kennedy’s are running the country!?
October 5th, 2006 at 11:10 pmrumblepup. i’m sorry, but you may not be monolithic enough for this site.
October 5th, 2006 at 11:14 pmThey don’t have the maturity to understand this kind of stuff…
Neither do most adults, asshole.
October 5th, 2006 at 11:15 pmThis is the defense. Blame everyone but the Rebubs for covering it up. Bring up all the Democrat scandels of the past, blame the media, Clinton, the kids… This will actually work! It will get dumb-ass Republicans to the polls and vote for them. Please, for god sakes vote.
Or go to the polls with a print out of all the scandels the Repubs have been involved with lately and hand them out to everyone entering polling! Maybe if some see the there are so many of them involved in scandels.. it may be time for change of leadership.
Remember, them blaming the left, the teenaged boys and the media is their only way to salvage the election. And it might work.
October 5th, 2006 at 11:53 pmLimbaugh is detached from reality. What a prick! I would love to kick his fat ass! This guy is absolutely unbelieveable, he blames the victims rather than the criminal, what an unbelievable dick weed.
These pricks like Limbaugh and Hannity spue their s**t and the repugs at home eat it up. I guess they think if they say it didn’t happen enough (regardless of the facts) they believe it is true. Not this time. Foley himself admits to it (but he’s not to blame, he claims he was molested as a youth which is why he has to prey on children, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him).
At last there is concrete, factual evedince that can’t be disputed (if they don’t shread all the evedince before the FBI can obtain it) and all these f***ers can say is “we can’t believe the democrats want to expose us”.
Live it up bitches while you can, you are on the way out. Hastert, Boner (or whaterver the hell your name is), even your own party thinks you suck, give it up!
October 5th, 2006 at 11:53 pm“how could the whole GOP leadership be covering up a crime that was never committed?”
btrugthful?! Come on, at least choose a name that fits your agenda. The cover up, moron, was the fact that the GOP has known about one of its own making passes at boys for years and they have done nothing about it. That’s the cover up you stupid ass. Why don’t you get it? Are you really that f’in stupid, or are you just being an asshole?
Now you and your disgraceful kind are going around trying to blame this on Democrats, George Soros, gays, alcoholism, and priests — everybody but your sad leadership is to blame — everybody but you. Losers. Sad, sad losers. Look in the mirror if you want to blame somebody. Go and cry on your sad little pillow tonight.
I’m rolling in schadefreud (sp) right now. Sorry.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:06 amSpudge Boy,
The problem that everyone you mention involved in your witchhunt has, is the law is not on their side. Don’t get yourself too worked up if Foley doesn’t do any time. And please, no more of the disingenuous concern about the pages. There is not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message. I’m starting to wonder who’s more hypocritical, liberals or Mark Foley.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:12 amAnyone else remember how the GOP didn’t want to hear about Lewinsky doing anything seductive to gain Clinton’s interest? They’d hear about her wearing a thong and practically soil their undies: “My God, she’s just a child!” Well that “Child” was in her 20s when her affiar with Clinton occurred.
As a straight man-and, might I add, a pereptually horny straight man, I can say with complete and utter confidence and honesty, that if the world’s hottest 16 year old girl started trying to seduce me, I’d be able to keep it in my hands and tell her to stop. Is it because I am monogamous to the woman who’s marrying me within 17 hours? Is it because I don’t want to be the skeevy guy in jail for Statutory? A little from Column A and a little fomr Column B? Bottom line-whether these kids were metaphorically or physically yanking Foley’s chain, Foley is a grown man who should be well aware of the risks involved with trying to seduce an underage boy. Setup or not, he chose to accept those risks to feed his fetish. If that means he was tricked, fine. When cops pretend to be children on the interenet to lure men into a meeting, those men are getting “tricked” too. FOley, and everyone who tried to cover up Foley’s misdeed, need to accept that they did something horribly wrong, and their constituents are either demanding a massiv emea culpa or their resignations or both. Passing the blame and crying victim isn’t going to work this time (though “fixed” Diebold electronic voting machines might help their re-election come through next month). It’s time to for these cocks to come home to roost.

Ummmmm, okay.

I wish you many years of happiness and love.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:21 am“not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message.”
paul: You can’t be serious with comments like this. Really, you have to be putting us all on. Do you have any children? I’m guessing not. Almost everybody, conservative or liberal alike are bothered by the thought of a grown man sending perverted IMs to their child. Except for you of course.
I’m going to use this opportunity to out you paul. If you are siding with Foley in this case, one can only assume that you are also into young children. Is this your fetish paul? Don’t try to blame your drinking or your priest. We are on to you paul — you are a pervert. Keep your kids away from paul everybody!
October 6th, 2006 at 12:22 amThere is not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message. I’m starting to wonder who’s more hypocritical, liberals or Mark Foley.
Comment by paul — October 6, 2006 @ 12:12 am
“Are you hard?”
“Yeah.”
“Measure it for me.”
“7 inches.”
This is basically part of one of the conversations between Foley and the 16 year old page. And you call this “creepy???” Maybe between, you know, 2 adults. But between a 53 year old man and a 16 year old boy? It’s downright disgusting.
There is not one person on the planet that believes liberals care about a page getting a creepy text message.
Wow…what a generalization. Just by saying it, you can’t prove it. Are you getting your talking points from George “Democrats don’t want us listening to terrorists phone calls” Bush? By liberals, are you referring to all libs in Congress, or all libs in America?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:28 amOh, and Paul, if no laws have been broken, then you need to call the FBI and tell them to break off the investigation. It would be a terrible waste of resources and money.

I think Sears should charge him for that refirgerator, or at least the delivery charge.
Hey, he admits it!
October 6th, 2006 at 12:31 ampaul should really join the FBI. I bet he would be able to save us tons of money by analyzing cases from his computer monitor. Apparently paul graduated from the Bill Frist Remote Diagnosis and Forensics Correspondence College?
Oh, and just in case I forgot to mention, paul should not be trusted anywhere near your children.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:35 amR-FL Foley is of about the biggest hypocrite to date when you read his caucus and subsequent law. Law the Republicans wanted, only to ignore? In Fact Foley’s whole career was built upon that very premise of halting predation.
Can you say hypocrites?
The GOP was for Foleys predation before they were against it
October 6th, 2006 at 12:39 amIt’s “REFRIGERATOR”, sorry, and I admit it.
