[AlCzervik]

4. lol NOT if Jebiie can FIX it

:grr:

[valerief]

9. Unfortunately, that will be the case. n/t

[ellenfl]

10. isn't it too late to replace him? eom

[eleny]

3. MSNBC interviewed Tweety about it just now

He was a page as a youngster. No doubt, he'll be discussing this on his Hardball program later.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

8. Tweety Was DEFINITELY Abused As A Page

It just stands to reason, don't you think? Might explain his erratic behavior.

[BurtWorm]

7. That must be a record.

:wow:

Wasn't it just yesterday that this got out? (Bad word choice...)

[AlCzervik]

11. that just tells you how bad is going to be for foley, he must have written

some really graphic things.

[BurtWorm]

12. That's what strikes me.

I wonder what the last 24 hours of Foley's life has been like. I can only imagine who was calling him or sitting him down for a little chat about the future. (Off the Internet, I mean.)

[AlCzervik]

13. i can hear his speech already, all teary eyed---

"I'm resigning to spend more time with my Dell."

[BurtWorm]

14. Ha ha!

:spray:

[ellenfl]

15. he will be VERY low profile until after 11/7. i don't see

him making any speeches.

16. I'd be willing to bet that Hastert was sent a whole file on Foley ...

... and gave him no choice. The Speaker's Office would have oversight of the Page program and would be the logical addressee of the evidence of stalking - soliciting a minor.
