Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know what's interesting is Foley stuff and no humanity in this Foley stuff.
I mean, there's literally no humanity in it.
I might talk about that as the program unfolds today and explain to you what I mean.
Another quick observation is, has it occurred to anybody else that the liberals and the media have essentially equated being gay with being a pedophile?
Greetings.
Welcome.
This is the Rush Limbaugh program and the EIB network.
We're here behind the golden right there, EIB microphone, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Dawn is out today.
Welcome, Wendy, back to the transcription duties.
Tell me the...
What? What? What?
Oh, yeah.
That's right. That's right.
She wore the skirt, especially for me, because Dawn never does.
And every time we tell Dawn Wendy wore a skirt, Dawn shows up in one the next day.
So skirts two days in a row.
Hubba hubba.
Thank you, Wendy.
Anyway, telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBnet.com.
I really, Snerdley had a shocked reaction on his face, but we now know that the identity of one of the pages, his name is Jordan Edmund.
He's 21 years old now.
He was 18 when these, that's adult, that's consenting adult age and status, when he was emailing or IMing back and forth with, it's now obligatory to say the creepy pervert, Mark Foley.
And, well, you have to say that.
It's become obligatory.
But throughout this whole episode, it just struck me that the libs and the media have equated being gay.
I mean, this has all happened because Foley was gay, and that means he's a pedophile.
And I don't know that they obviously didn't intend to do this, but to a casual observer, I might draw that conclusion watching this over-the-top behavior.
Democrats almost like Wiley Coyote here in many ways.
And ladies and gentlemen, there is something circulating up on Capitol Hill.
And rather than me tell you, and I've heard it from a couple people, but let's go to the audio soundbites.
Nora O'Donnell last night on PMS NBC saying this about the Republican base.
What the Republican base is going to be shocked by over the next week or so, this is the next stage of this story as it will develop, is how many closeted gay Republican men were involved in processing this information about the closeted gay man Mark Foley when these stories emerged in the House of Representatives.
I misspoke.
That's Lawrence O'Donnell, one of the consultants and writers for the West Wing, not Nora O'Donnell.
No relation.
Now, the reason, no, that's not the point, Mr. Snerdley.
The reason I mention this to you is that this morning I received word that Democrats are circulating a list on Capitol Hill as we speak of gay Republicans.
Haven't gone public with the list.
They're circulating it on Capitol Hill.
People are waiting for Nancy Pelosi to react to this.
And I wasn't even going to mention it because it hasn't happened.
But here now, O'Donnell, last night when I got the Soundbite roster, this is what he's talking about.
There's no question.
He knows that Democrats are circulating a list.
Now, I don't know that the Democrats are also circulating a list of gay Democrats on the Hill in order to out them.
Now, here's what I think is going on.
There's a piece in the Boston Globe today by a gay leader from Sacramento whose last name is Link.
I'm trying to find it in the stack.
I should have put it at the top of the stack, but I didn't.
Essentially, yeah, the gay problem is David Link.
And David Link is a writer and attorney in Sacramento, my adopted hometown.
I never met him.
And he's a member of the Independent Gay Forum in his piece today, The Gay Problem in the GOP.
And essentially, he says, what can one expect from denying grown men and women a normal adult sex life?
Whether the denial of adult intimacy comes from religious conviction or the ordinary urge toward conformity, people who run away from their sexuality nearly always have to answer to nature somehow.
For people who fear abiding and mutual love, the trust and confusion of the young is a godsend.
Add to that the perquisites of power, and a degenerate is born.
The point of this is that this really isn't Foley's fault.
Not Foley's fault.
The Republicans caused this in Foley because the Republicans are homophobes.
So when a gay Republican is elected to office, this guy has to stay in the closet because he knows he will destroy his party as well as himself if he comes out.
But he can't suppress his normal sexual urges.
And so after not being able to suppress his normal sexual urges, he turns to the comfort of the young and the innocent, i.e. pages.
So you see, it's all Republicans' fault.
Now, this is gone, this now has nothing to do with Foley.
And it really, I mean, it has to do with Hastard in the sense that they want him out.
And the Democrats all think that they're going to get Hastard by tomorrow.
By the end of the week, which for those of you in Riolinda's tomorrow, Hastard will be history, that he's going to, he can't survive.
There's just no way.
Now, if this list is circulating and Lawrence O'Donnell's little soundbite from last night indicates that he knows that it is, then there is an all-out assault by Democratic gays, liberal gays, who are very powerful as fundraisers and influential people in terms of making policy for the Democratic Party.
It appears that they may be on the march now to just totally out all these gay Republicans as a means of totally obliterating the Republican Party on this whole hypocrisy charge.
So has this happened before?
Has anything like this happened before?
We may be able to draw on it as a learning exercise.
And yes, it has.
If you go back to the presidential debates and the vice presidential debates in the 2004 campaign, we will recall that both John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, and John Edwards, the Breck girl, both outed, quote unquote, Dick Cheney's gay daughter, Mary.
Now, she was already out, but it was felt that by the Democrats that a lot of the religious right, who are obviously idiots and hicks, hayseeds, who live in the back of their pickup trucks while parked at church, didn't know it.
And so they tried to subtly get it out there that the vice president's daughter was gay.
They did it in a way that tried to make them sound sympathetic to Cheney, as though, oh, how horrible.
Oh, but we all have to persevere with who we are.
What have you?
Did it work?
Did Carrie and Edwards win the election?
Did the religious right living in the back of their pickup trucks parked in the parking lot at church revolt against Bush and Cheney and not show up and vote?
They were repulsed by it.
So if you have Democratic gays outing gays, You've got Democratic gays outing Republican gays.
It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase eating your own.
And, you know, the unity of the gay community here is being split.
And I don't know that it hasn't been for a while.
It's just kept undercover.
But this is going to be fascinating if this goes public.
It is just, well, no, I'm sorry.
The list is still private.
The list has not been made public.
The list is circulating on Capitol Hill.
Now, Lawrence O'Donnell is alluding to it, but until it makes the drive-by media, we won't consider it to have gone public.
I mean, if it appears on gay websites, we won't consider it to have gone public, or it will not be considered to have gone public.
Also, had a little phone conversation today.
I decided to call some Republicans, and I very rarely do this, but I wanted to find out if they had any internal polling data on some congressional districts, particularly here in Florida.
I found something very interesting.
Florida 13 is the open seat held by Catherine Harris.
Catherine Harris, of course, retiring for the United States Congress and is running for the U.S. Senate.
The Republican candidate in Florida 13 is a guy named Vern Buchanan.
Now, Florida 13 is the district right next to Mark Foley, a creepy pervert, Mark Foley's district.
And what has happened in the last couple of days, I have been told that Vern Buchanan has gained points in the last couple of days.
He is trailing his Democratic opponent, name of which I don't know, and it doesn't matter to me, but he has edged closer in the district adjacent to Foley, a creepy pervert Mark Foley's district, just in the last two days during the period of time that all this has taken place.
Now, there's a caveat to this that obviously if somebody's directly involved in the creepy perverted Foley scandal, then that will have an effect.
But my theory is that this is not going to suppress turnout and that it's not going to cause all this massive disaster as far as the Republicans are concerned.
I've been also looking at these polls, and I've got a little cheat sheet here on various polls.
George Allen has pulled way ahead.
George Allen has pulled way ahead.
What's the lesson in that?
Fight back.
Go on offense and fight back.
And Allen has done that, and he's pulled ahead significantly.
James Webb, but in all of these race, and Mike DeWine has pulled even.
Mike DeWine, Sherrod Brown, that's supposed to be a race that's over.
Mike DeWine has pulled even in Ohio.
I suspect some of it is this perverted creep Foley fallout.
Again, you have to say it.
It's obligatory now that you have to say that.
I'm not trying to pile on.
It's just at any rate.
In all of these polls, as I studied them, and maybe you've looked at them too, have you noticed how high the undecideds are?
I mean, some of these races are 45, 37.
Add that up, and you don't get anywhere near 100.
You've got a lot of undecideds out there.
No matter who's ahead and no matter who's trailing, the undecideds are unusually high this close to the election.
Meanwhile, what's the reality out there?
Well, unemployment is down.
Retail sales are way up.
And do you know why?
You know why retail sales are up?
Cooling temperatures.
Yes.
Unexpectedly high.
Of course, yes, retail sales unexpectedly up.
Experts stunned about this.
One of the reasons is that temperatures were cooler in September, and that meant that you people were more inclined to leave your homes.
I guess in September, people say sequestered inside.
They don't go outside at all because it's so damn hot.
Cooling temperatures.
And the falling gas price.
Yes, plummeting gas prices and cooling temperatures is what the surprised experts attribute.
the dramatic rise in retail sales in August.
Anyway, average income is up.
We got John Roberts and Alito, Sam Alito, wearing their Supreme Court robes.
Why is it Republicans feel the need to have to defend their performance back in just a moment?
All right, we want to go back to the audio archives.
We're able to extract the comment I referred to mere moments ago from October 13th of 2004.
The debate was in Tempe, Arizona, a presidential debate.
President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.
At that point in time, nobody knew of the creepy pervert Mark Foley and his activity.
But remember, Lawrence O'Donnell said last night on MSNBC, the Republican base is going to be shocked over the next week or so.
The next stage of the story, as it'll develop, is how many closeted gay Republican men were involved in processing this information about Foley, blah, blah, blah.
There is a list, Democratic gays, Democrat operatives circulating a list of closeted Republican gays on Capitol Hill.
And I made the point, has this happened before?
They try to suppress conservative turnout.
They're trying to get you church thumpers out there believing that your party is just as immersed in sin as the Democrats are, except they're phony about it.
They try to lead you to believe that they're clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, but they're all a bunch of preverts.
They're all a bunch of sinners.
Republican Party has them too, but they're liars because they can't afford you to know Democrats are proudly gay, which we will touch on in a moment as well.
Here is a question as it was asked by Bob Schieffer.
He said, both of you are opposed to gay marriage, but to understand how you have come to that conclusion, I want to ask you a more basic question.
Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?
And this is what John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, said.
We're all God's children, Bob.
And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was.
She's being who she was born as.
I think if you talk to anybody, it's not choice.
Now, what you didn't hear was the gasp in the room and the utter silence that occurred afterward.
And you don't see the camera shot of Cheney, who is doing his best to maintain his composure.
It was clearly a gratuitous reference.
Could have mentioned anybody.
I mean, Kerry knows Democrats who are gay.
Kerry could have mentioned anybody who was gay in giving his answer.
But he chose Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, he had to add.
And I guarantee you, the reason for this was to inform the hicks in the hayseeds of the conservative Christian right, who Kerry thinks don't know, didn't know about Cheney's daughter, that there's a gay.
There's a gay in the White House.
There's a gay and there's a lesbian in there.
Cheney's daughter.
And it backfired, folks.
It backfired.
Cheney and Bush won the election, and Kerry and a Brett girl went down to a screaming defeat.
So they're trying to rev this up again.
Now, David Brooks has an interesting piece today in the New York Times.
Let me just give you a couple of excerpts.
This is a tale of two predators.
The first is a congressman who befriended teenage pages.
He sent them cajoling instant messages asking them to describe their sexual habits so he could get his jollies.
The second is a secretary who invited a 13-year-old girl from her neighborhood into her car and kissed her.
Then she invited the girl up to her apartment, gave her some vodka, took off her underwear, and gave her a satin teddy to wear.
Now, for those of you in Rio Linda, Teddy, when you're talking about female attire, is not a bear.
Just think of a flimsy one-piece swimsuit and you'll get it.
Then she had sex.
Well, you think they've heard of a teddy in Rio Linda?
I'm just trying to have everybody informed.
Don't stick with me on this.
Then, after the secretary, who invited a 13-year-old girl from her neighborhood into her car and kissed her, gave her vodka, gave her a teddy, he had sex with the girl, which was interrupted when the girl's mother called.
Then she made the girl masturbate in front of her and taught her some new techniques.
Now, the first predator, of course, is Mark Foley, Florida Congressman Creepy Pervert.
The second predator is a character in Eve Ensler's play, The Vagina Monologues.
Foley is now universally reviled, but the Ensler play, which depicts this secretary's affair with the 13-year-old as a glorious awakening, is revered.
In the original version of the play, the underage girl declares, I say if it was rape, it was a good rape, then a rape that turned my vagina into kind of heaven.
Brooks writes, When I saw Ensler perform the play several years ago in New York, everyone roared in approval.
Ensler has since changed the girl's age to 16, the age of some of Foley's pages.
Now, the one in question is 18.
Anyway, and audiences still embrace the play and that scene at colleges and in theaters around the world.
But why is one sexual predator despised and the other celebrated?
In discussing the Foley case, the political class, with its unerring instinct for the aspect of any story that will be the least important to average Americans, has shifted attention from Foley's act to Denny Hastert's oversight of it.
It has fled morality to talk about management.
He's saying what I've said.
They don't find the behavior repugnant.
They do not find what Foley did repugnant.
They have defended it.
They have celebrated it.
I said this on Monday.
I said it on Tuesday.
I said it yesterday.
I say it again today.
They celebrate this kind of behavior.
They encourage this kind of openness as discovering one's true sexuality and in this case, vagina.
So don't think that there's a morality play going on here with the Democrats.
No, This is about suppressing conservative turnout and is about forcing another Republican.
There was Trent Lott, there was delay, forcing another Republican, Denny Hastert, to step down.
Back after this, who came up with it?
I can only say that if it was a faux pas slip of the tongue.
I can't actually purposely say that.
Greetings.
Welcome back.
El Rushball, the EIB Network.
Who was it?
It's Lanny Davis.
Yesterday, we had the audio soundbite warning the Democrats not to overplay their hand on this.
Speaking of that, a field organizer for Democratic congressional candidate Al Weed in Virginia resigned yesterday after it was discovered that she referred to Senator George Allen as Macackowitz.
In an email sent last night, Merrill Ibis asked Democratic supporters to protest George Mackowitz Allen during a Republican rally in Danville.
The term Mackowitz is an apparent reference to Allen's use of the word maca and the recent discovery of his Jewish heritage.
So called him a Kakowitz, and she's had to resign in disgrace.
Michael Steele, candidate for the Senate in Maryland, by the way, has sent a letter.
I have a copy of the letter here.
Apparently, he's being dogged by a film crew from his Democrat opponent, Benjamin Cardin, much as Allen was being dogged by a film crew from that guy that he called Macaca.
And Jordan Edmund, the victim, quote unquote, in the Foley scandal, has hired Stephen Jones, the lawyer from Enid, Oklahoma, to represent him.
Does that name ring a bell to you, Mr. Snerdley?
Timothy McVeigh's lawyer has been hired to represent Jordan Edmond.
It's fascinating how this was discovered.
A blogger at American Progress or Progress America discovered all this because ABC left the guy's screen name up on their server website for five days.
ABC didn't redact the screen name of the victim.
And this blogger, who I think is in Oklahoma, was able to track it down.
And it's fascinating reading.
I read his report and how he did it last night.
It's fascinating.
I've been asking myself all day, and I've been asking lawyers, why would Jordan Edmund need a lawyer here?
And I'm not trying to be naive.
I am naive, and I'm not trying to suggest anything.
There's something about, if he's the victim, why does he need a lawyer?
And don't misunderstand.
I'm not via innuendo attempting to suggest anything.
I just have it as a citizen reading the news.
I don't care who the lawyer is.
The fact that he's McVeigh's lawyer is irrelevant to me.
I just don't know why he needs a lawyer, unless there's a book deal.
But you need an agent for that.
There could be any number of explanations for this.
We will find out, of course, in due course.
At any rate, in addition to Annie Davis, warning the Democrats, be careful on this.
Don't play this too far because there are closeted gays in the House, and there may be Democrat congressional behavior with pages that parallels Foley.
We don't know.
Where there's one, there's an opportunity, and usually is the case that there's more.
These things are not usually isolated, singular incidents.
And so some Democrats, you know, let's play this down.
Let's not charge forward.
Let's not send it.
Let's let the media, let our buddies and the media carry the water here, but let's just not say anything.
And a lot of them haven't.
Chuck Schumer hadn't said anything about this.
I mean, Pastor Duga quit and so forth, but they haven't weighed in on this.
In the American Spectator Online today, the Prowler column, they'll regret it.
We're getting into very dangerous territory.
I've warned my colleagues to be careful, quote unquote.
That's what a Democrat leadership aide was saying on Wednesday as words circulated about David Korn.
He's a writer for the nation, about David Korn's blog posting that revealed that a list of gay Republican congressional staffers was circulating through emails.
So there's another reference to a list of gays, this time staffers, not just congressmen, circulating on David Korn's blog.
Such a list has been talked about for months, writes the prowler, if not years, by more militant gay activists who have threatened to out Republican congressional staffers or even congressmen if they take positions counter to their gay lifestyle.
Now, in the wake of the Foley scandal, a form of the list is again circulating among journalists and any other interested third parties.
The leadership aide, Democrat leadership aide, said if that list is made public, all the political gains we've made in the past 96 hours get flushed down the toilet.
Now, just as troubling are concerns among some House Democrat staff that there are potential scandals lurking of a similar vein for them, according to another Democrat source, quote, I've been warning my people to stay away from this story because you just don't know what'll come back to bite you.
Here's one of the things of concern: House Democrat leadership or Representative Dale Kildy from Michigan, the Democrat member of the Page Board, who has served on it since 1985 or his staff have received complaints about Democrat colleagues' perceived inappropriate communications or contact with pages or former pages and have not brought those complaints to the board or the House management, such as the House Clerk's Office.
Democrats get very nervous about this because they fear that the same thing's gone on and nobody alerted anybody in leadership to it.
Kildie has been vocal about the Foley complaints not being brought before the full board prior to the scandal breaking and the secretive nature of the Republican leadership's attempts to bring closure to the scandal.
We all know this kind of scandal isn't just a Republican problem, says a Democrat political consultant in Washington.
We don't want to see what is out there about Democrat House members or former members.
And they don't want to see they're happy for it to be seen about Foley.
They're happy for it to be seen about Foley and how the supposed Republican leadership supposedly didn't do the right thing.
But they don't want any information about what their guys have been doing with the pages to reach public light.
Other Democrats say more is to come.
That talk among Democrats around town is that researchers at Crewe and the House Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee have in recent weeks been in contact and that there are additional stories involving Republicans and questionable ethics behavior to be leaked closer to election time.
This is the Clinton war room.
The Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee is headed by Rom Emmanuel, who worked in the Clinton White House.
Quote, it's gossip and there's just a feeling that the DCCC is in on some of this and that there is more to come closer to election day.
Remember, Rom Emmanuel's done this kind of stuff before back with the Clintons, says the Democrat consultant.
This is from the American Spectator Online.
So Ron Emmanuel running Democrat elections in the House, a Clinton hack, reenacting the Clinton war room at full speed, George Soros, all of this adds up.
And now the House Ethics Committee is investigating Foley.
What the hell for?
He's gone.
What can they do about him?
He's resigned.
So the staffer, to put this in perspective, the staffer who once was Foley's chief of staff says he told Hastrich's chief of staff about something or other three years ago.
Now, mind you, this is the same guy who ABC accuses of trying to cut a deal for Foley by getting ABC to agree not to write about the instant messages in exchange for an exclusive about Foley's coming resignation.
The bottom line, folks, this isn't going away anytime soon unless something else big blows up in the news or in the world.
Meanwhile, George Allen now has a double-digit lead, according to Zogby.
Message fight back.
We have no control over how the Democrats play their hand, whether they overplay it or not, but we do have to be smart and play our hands well, and attacking the media bias is a great tactic, not to mention it is truthful, to attack the gay bias and the Democratic Party interests in all this.
There's a great piece at the American Thinker Today.
It's one of our all-time favorite blogs.
This is by Patrick Godfrey.
And I'll just give you some excerpts here.
It's entitled The Worst October Surprise Ever.
It had all the earmarks of a classic Democratic Party plan to depress Republican turnout.
You take a barely disguised gay Republican congressman, add salacious electronic messages that included masturbation, sex, and other lurid flourishes, push the story to their eager and willing accomplices in the media right before an election, and as quick as you can say, LBJ, an instant scandal is created.
The only problem, it seems, is that in today's world of media, with data available to the whole world that was heretofore available only to a select few, the plan didn't work out quite the way they had expected.
Enterprising bloggers have done the elemental detective work and discovered again that the entire incident is nearly exactly the opposite of what was first reported, rather than a case of a pedophile congressman stalking young men in the corridors of power.
It instead turns out to be a case of a closeted gay nurturing relationship with a young man making sexual advances once he became an adult.
A relationship, by the way, that the young man, if he felt threatened or chose not to continue, could have ended at any time.
An older gay man seeking a relationship with a young man, who would have thought such a thing would ever happen?
Snicker Snicker.
Rather than the pedophile politician script, we were first being fed and we are still being fed, by the way, because nobody's interested that this victim is 18 when this is happening.
Nobody in the drive-by media cares about that.
Nobody is willing to mention that.
So the pedophile politician script still is what we are being fed, but we now know that the real story is far less than we have been led to believe.
As it turns out, although the young man in question was indeed a page, was indeed befriended by Congressman Foley and did have sexual discussions with him.
But it seems everything else was perfectly legal, if nevertheless repellent to many, including a good chunk of the GOP base whose turnout is vital in the forthcoming election.
While angry values voters fulminate over Denny Hastert's failure to do something about the IMs before they came to light, all I can remember is the Democrats' mantra, that the troglodyte Republicans were obsessed by sex between consenting adults.
That homosexuals in close working relationships with young people, especially young men, that's a good and healthy thing, as portrayed by Eve Ensler in the vagina monologues as well.
That some forms of sex aren't sex.
This is the Democrat mantra.
Gays in close working relationship with young people, teachers and so forth.
Young men, that's good.
It's a healthy thing.
We can't hide people from their realities.
That what two consenting adults do or say behind closed doors is their business.
You realize we are preoccupied by the very people who told us, it's sex.
It's nothing but sex.
It's nobody's business.
It's a private affair.
Blah, These people can do what they want.
Didn't affect their leadership.
They're now trying to invoke the same thing they defended back in the 90s with Clinton.
Democratic mantra also included that intercepting and reading electronic communications between anybody in the U.S., especially those between two citizens, is never to be tolerated.
Except when somebody gets hold of some instant messages between a gay congressman who's a Republican, well, we can do all the subterfuge we want to get those because that's good for the country.
So in the end, what do we end up with?
The pedophile that wasn't, a child that was actually adult, the disclosure of personal electronic communications of highly personal nature between two adults revealed, a sex scandal between a couple who never had sex, and I kind of missed it.
Can I be honest with you?
This country's going to hell in a handbasket.
Where are the old days when you really had sex scandal?
People actually had sex.
Fanny Fox in the fountain there in Washington with Wilmer Mills.
Give me the good old days of Gary Hart and What's Her Face, Nana Rice, actually had sex, chartered a boat to go out there to Benemi.
Vimini Island actually had sex.
The monkey business with the name of the boat?
Yes, give me the good old days where there were actual sexual affairs between men and women.
Rita Jenrett, remember that?
Those were the good old days.
If you're going to have sex scandals in Washington, could we go back to including sex in them?
We have a sex scandal here with no sex.
At least not by the Democrats.
You think the Democrats define masturbation as sex if BJs aren't?
Let's see.
Anyway, we also end up with Democrat congressmen can have sex with 17-year-olds and get re-elected, Gary Studs, but Republicans that talk about sex.
And instant messages are forced to resign.
Back in just a second.
Stay with us.
Show prep for the rest of the media.
Broadcast and print.
Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Now, this group crew, this is a suspicious bunch.
They're just a bunch of insane leftists.
I even forget what crew stands for, but they're deeply involved in the Foley Smith.
Yeah, the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
I mean, what kind of irony is that?
A bunch of lib dims coming up with that title.
Anyway, they're supposed to be a nonpartisan, not-for-profit 501c3 group.
That's an IRS designation, according for those of you in Rio Linda.
And as such, the group crew is supposed to be prohibited under federal tax law from attempting to influence the political process.
Now, with all these investigations going on out there, the FBI looking into this and that, will the FBI look into this?
They should.
Give you odds they won't.
And here's another question I have.
Ladies and gentlemen, will the FBI take a look at the instant messages of all members of Congress to see if any other members have been flirting with PAGE's and interns?
Well, no, this is a legitimate question because this is for the children.
And apparently, we have to re-examine the PAGE program.
The PAGES are teenagers.
Where there's smoke, there's fire, and Foley is the smoke.
Has Nancy Pelosi demanded an expansion of the investigation for the integrity of the PAGE program?
I have been listening.
I haven't heard such a demand from Nancy Pelosi.
I haven't heard such a demand from Stanley Hoyer or from Chuck Wrangell or from Barney Frank or from any of the other members of the Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives.
But should there not be?
Seriously, this is, if we take the Democrats at their word, why, we're very much concerned here about the integrity of the PAGE program.
These are innocent young kids that they're in Washington trying to learn about their government and trying to learn about the future of the country and blah, And here they are being head-on by predators.
Shouldn't we get to the bottom of this and find out who?
Should there not be a wide net cast in this investigation?
Seems to me if that's the problem here, then there should be such a call.
And it should come from the Democrats who are the ones acting so outraged by this.
So we're going to investigate Hastert, and we're going to investigate all these Republicans.
Why not investigate the whole damned house and get their IMs and their emails, including those of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana?
And just find out who is doing what.
To, with, and for the pages.
Tell you what, you Democrats are a very, very ungrateful bunch.
Do you realize if it weren't for Denny Hastert, the executive branch would have all the papers and files of Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana.
But Hastert stood up for you in the House against the executive branch.
