3. MSNBC did a fair job of it--Tweety had it RIGHT out of the gate
but then he shifted to the Allen macaca business, because he had his "set" lined up for that story. And he (well, not him, his field reporter, David Shuster) actually pummelled Allen fairly well. Webb came out the clear winner.

I saw it in rotation several times. Haven't turned the tube on yet today though.

4. Shame on Congress - not the REPUKES in congress - just Congress.
Isn't it amazing how they REFUSE to specifically identify that it's the REPUKES who covered up this REPUKE scandal for a YEAR!

But all we get is "congress"...

And that's from CNN

6. On everything but fox
When CNN and MSNBC were running it Fox had the latest Al-Qaida tape on.

7. CNN did a great job this a.m. even reading some parts of the e-mail
that didn't leave much to question. They've been at it at the top of the hour throughout the day.

MSNBC's coverage is a disgrace. With that smarmy Alex Witt trying to compare what Foley did with Clinton and Monica. The reporting has been "alleged racy e-mails" with House Page...and generally downplaying it all.

I didn't see anything else. I don't watch Fox but doubt if they spent much time on it.

9. This is the weekend.
It's just working itself through the maze. It has so many tentacles, and it reaches right into the epicenter of where we want it to go.

This story hasn't even started yet. Foley resigned in a flash. That leaves the pukes nowhere to go and it couldn't have happened at a worse time because none of the pukes can hide in congress from the microphones. Everywhere Hastert, Boehner, Shimkus--any of them go, the will be swarmed with this.

Add the Democrats to this, who will just keep adding more kindling to the fire. I'd bet ten to one, Russert will feed it to the Sunday viewers and help tee it all up for Monday morning.

CNN has it as a major story every hour. Kids, molestation, perversion, minors, congressmen, coverup, moral values party, resignation admission...it reads like the OJ Simpson case. The hypocrisy alone is level 9 on the Richter scale.

All roads lead to Rome and Rome is about to be a 5 alarm blaze.
