Only Dem on House Page Board NOT INFORMED of Foley!

[Gold Metal Flake]

The fascist Puke Pedo-loving shitbags kept only Dem on Page Board in the dark about sick fuck Foley!

From TPM:
"Rep. Dale Kildee (D-MI), the only Democrat on the Board, was not informed of the interview, according to Roll Call."

[Seen the light]

1. Almost like they figured that he wouldn't keep their secret.... n/t

[ShortnFiery]

2. This is UN-SAT!

:grr: :nuke: :grr:

[KingFlorez]

3. This just gets to be more of a scandal by the second

They kept a secret about something very serious and call themselves a party of values?

[Erika]

4. Their sick need of secrecy to cover their misdeeds

They don't want it brought into sunlight. They were still thinking they could hide it among themselves. Sickos.

5. The repubs are soooo fucked

:D

6. Get this horse sh*t Denny's trying to shovel at us --->

According to a senior House GOP leadership aide, Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (R-Ill.) office was informed of the interview shortly after it occurred, but Hastert himself was not told.

That's so wrong. If his office KNEW of such a potential criminal activity (Predatory Sexual Behavior of a subordinate republican Representative) then Denny Hastert knew ALL ABOUT IT!

The Republican Leadership has no shame - smarmy, lying co-dependent monsters! :puke:

7. The dem leadership really needs to push this...

Of course denny knew about it. Hell, he may have had his own ass covered. Probably all of 'em are pedophiles. There's no way in hell he did not know.

... and the dems need to bring this to light, not only for political reasons but it's just the right thing to get these child molesters out of power. Disgusting. :puke:

8. I'm sorry but that is total BS.

You can be sure that "Fat" Denny was told. The arrogance of that man and his staffers is unbelievable. What a POS...

10. Dude, keep up. ;-)

Reports are coming out too fast! Boehner throws Hastert to the wolves!

"The resignation rocked the Capitol, and especially Foley's GOP colleagues, as lawmakers were rushing to adjourn for at least six weeks. House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told The Washington Post last night that he had learned this spring of some "contact" between Foley and a 16-year-old page. Boehner said he told House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), and that Hastert assured him "we're taking care of it."

Keep an eye on www.talkingpointsmemo.com as it has been getting the news out fast.

11. Thanks for the update ...

I'm thrilled with the news but IMO your delivery could be a little more polished.

BTW, I'm not "a dude." ;)

Thanks again! :hi:

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. The patois was in fun.

I used an emoticon that time! :cry:

Sorry about the dude. I didn't check. I just wanted to get the update to ya. No offense meant at all. :hi:

[ShortnFiery]

15. I know. Sorry, I'm a little testy - should have read it twice.

No Harm, no foul! It's getting late here on the East Coast.
Best Regards. :-) :hi:

12. If Hastert's "office" was informed, then by definition HE was informed.

"Oh, well, uhhhhhhhhh - my secretary didn't tell me about THAT phone call. I knew NOTHING about this. Nothing at all." Uh huh.

[ShortnFiery]

13. OR just gave us an update ---> Hastert did know!

See OR's post above.

On Edit: Read Post #10. :hi:

9. I think this is the October surprise come early

Just when things couldn't get any worse for the GOP.

16. It could be a BONANZA for Democratic opponents of the House leadership

including Hastert's young military veteran John Laesch ( http://john06.com ).

Democrats need to oust a net of 15 sitting Republicans to get subpoena power over the increasingly wacko WH.

But IMO Keith Olbermann, Democratic candidates, and other Party spokespeople need to be very careful until the House Ethics Committee reports "within 10 days". It's OK for DUers to speculate, but you can never be too susppicious of "good luck" against Karl Rove.

Remember how Dan Rather lost his job to Katie Couric? The issue became, not Dubya's AWOL, but unverifiable doubts about the remaining evidence of Dubya's evidence, after Ms Meiers and other longtime WH flacks had shredded them years ago.

Similarly, the Republicans could do to the teens who've denounced Foley what Michael Jackson's lawyers did to the people who denounced him.

There may be opportunity here for unexpected gains against Hastert (R-IL), Alexander (R-La), Boehner (R-OH), Blunt (R-Mo) and others. But there also may be danger of taking down Keith Olberman and our few other reliable MSM big microphones. I was pleased that Keith only spent a few moments on Foley this evening--he seems to be showing appropriate caution.

17. Outsting their entire leadership? I'd almost feel sorry for them

Hastert, Boehener, Blunt, and DeLay all in one year? Don't get my hopes up like that...
