Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Bush & Company are the real poster boys for graft and corruption. Give me a break! The Iraq War isn't huge. No! Hurricane Katrina wasn't huge. No! Give me a break! IN AMERICA, ANYTHING SEXUAL IS "HUGE." That's what is huge. Americans will be talking about Monica's dress for 100 years. How many Americans are talking about Clinton's fabulous, fabulous, fabulous budget surpluses? No! No! No! Make no mistake--the Mark Foley sex scandal is huge. This scandal has the potentional to bring this administration down-- a totally incompetent administration. Telly-Tubby dude? LOL! Amen! Amen! Amen! Amen! This guy is ALL MAN. Remember President Reagan's comment about his son, Ron. "ALL MAN." And speaking of dresses, what exactly is Mr. Paul wearing? I echo previous comments. I guess it is pink. Dress? Prom gown? Whatever it is I wouldn't classify as particularly masculine. This Rodeo Drive original looks very, very, very "Benny Hinnish." I am sure this guy's credibility is very Benny Hinnish, too. Birds of a feather do flock together. BTW, Mr. Paul's haute couture ensemble should have a feather or two; it would be quite dashing and fabulous. So fabulous! Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! I find it quite puzzling and disturbing that Hastert would talk to this guy. I could certainly understand Hastert discussing fashion and makeup tips with this guy, but not a conversation pertaining to political or religious guidance. Hastert is in worse shape than I thought. He needs to step up to the plate and resign immediately. Now! Not in a week, or in a month, but now. John Citizen+Dad,

Nice buzz phrase but pretty empty. I'm sure if we took a close look at every member of the house and the Senate we could find something on most of them regardless of Party Affiliation. I'm sure to if we investigated every member of Congress who had access to Pages and Interns we could find some dirty laundry as well. For the Foley thing I think had he been a DEM your response would have been what it was for Studds. What does his sexual orientation have to do with his ability to be a good represenitive. But being a man of honor he resigned. He didn't fight and deny and try to us careful wording. He stepped up to the plate and took his medicine and I think that is what pisses you off most. You don't like him because he is a REP and has the integrity to know when to step aside. You like him because he is Gay and had sex with a 21 year old PAGE. Studds's little boy was under age and not only did he stay but got reelected. I thought you bleeding heart liberals would come to Foley's defense but as soon as he showed intergrity all bets were off. Culture of Corruption…….. Nice buzz phrase but pretty empty.
