    Nice lunch conversation, *puke*


  2. AshenShard says:

    How much would everyone be willing to bet that they found nothing criminal and that all it is going to be is a whitewash? Either that or they may choose to punt it to the next congress.


  3. Zooey says:

    Maybe they’ll hold the news conference on IM.


  4. Jay Randal says:

    LOL see bad news is always released on Friday afternoon in DC, because the Congressional membership leaves town on Fridays! Plus Christmas vacation for Congress begins today and they come back by around January 15, 2007, so good time to release a bogus report on Foley to the press > lol.

    Hilarious! They should.


  6. Mary Poplins says:

    Aren’t they suppose to come back on January 4, 2007?


  7. Ronin_Tetsuro says:

    Report on Iraq? ohhh…. oh shi… um… errr…. HEY LOOK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FOLEY AGAIN! LOOK OVER HERE!

    Typical.


  8. Bingo! says:

    I hope they include a personal thank you to Foley for helping to bring down the GOP..


  9. Tuber says:

    How appropriate that a fresh red herring be served up today. Now if we could only get Foley to kidnap a blonde girl (or boy in this case) then we would have all the fixin’s for a MSM frenzy that should prove quite diverting.


  10. Jay Randal says:

    Post 6 Mary > The Congressional membership never returns that early to DC. They just have to get back before Bush gives his State of the Union Address in late January. Last year the members came back between January 12 and 18.

    FoleyErect: “Cool.”

    Maf54: Nice!

    Here’s another scandal that should have been dealt with, but really wasn’t, and it’s coming back:
    Dubai Ports participating in U.S. security plan

    This is a strange quote:

    Dubai Ports World is among several international shipping and port operators chosen for the screening program mandated by the Safe Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006, legislation that resulted from the Dubai Ports controversy.

    So the Dubai port deal, where they supposedly wouldn’t be in charge of security, spawned legislation that enabled Dubai to be in charge of port security. ??

    I think it’s great that they are getting around to port security (FINALLY) but this all stinks. Hopefully, the Royal Families of the UAE don’t still hang out with folks like bin Laden like the good old days.


  15. Zooey says:

    I hope somebody live blogs this thing, because I’m not watching it.

    *hint* :)


  16. dlet says:

    I’m with Zooey. What’s going on? Anyone?


  17. SKdeA says:

    False flag operation?
    So they can say it happened on Rummy’s watch?


  18. Fredric L. Rice says:

    Findings? We already know that Christian hate mongers are usually closet homosexuals and closet pedophiles. What “findings” do these fascist mother f*ckers think they’re going to spew that’s not already known by every god damned f*cking non-Republinazi pile of Christian shit?
