blow job

A big hat tip to Josh for finding this article. Remember that Florida state legislature that got busted last week for soliciting a blow job from a male in a bathroom? Yeah - the family of party values. But it also turns out this gem of the GOP is now using his excuse for the act as being scared of the black man he solicited it from (who was an undercover cop):

State Rep. Bob Allen told police he was just playing along when a undercover officer suggested in a public restroom that the legislator give him oral sex and $20 because he was intimidated, according to a taped statement and other documents released Thursday.

Allen has already denied any wrongdoing, but the recordings and documents offered new details about what he and police say happened on July 11 inside the men's room at Veterans Memorial Park.

"I certainly wasn't there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn't there to exchange money for it," said Allen, R-Merritt Island, who was arrested on charges of soliciting prostitution.

"This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park," Allen, who is white, told police in a taped statement after his arrest. Allen said he feared he "was about to be a statistic" and would have said anything just to get away.

Yeah that is a great defense. So this Republican is not just a racist, closet homosexual - he is also down right stupid. Let's hear it again for GOP "family values"!

CNN just reported that White House spokesperson, Dana Perino, was asked about Harry Reid's statement. She quickly turned it around to say that the "Democrats will use this for politics".

I guess it was fine and dandy for the Republicans to use a blow job for politics in the Clinton years, but when it comes to obstructing the investigation of a CIA agent who was outed while discrediting one of the main reasons for the Iraq War, then politics should not be used?

Bull shit!

This case was about politics from day one. The politics involved the White House trying to discredit someone with opposing views. The politics involved the White House being involved in the outing of a CIA agent just so they could sell their case for a war based upon flawed intelligence.

Harry Reid and the Democrats using Scooter for political gain has no consequences. The White House's political game that caused all this has cost over 3,000 American lives and countless Iraqi lives. Someone needs to smack Perino for trying to down play this so much. Who has she lost in the war? Who has Bush and Cheney lost in the war?

Bush's biggest problem is he lives in the past. He doesn't realize this great new thing out there called the "internets" and exactly how powerful it is. Take for example when Bush tries to change his story and then lie about what he previously said:

Oops. Well I am sure that hasn't happened before.

Oh well I guess it has. Our President isn't just incompetent - he is a total moron. With someone this out of touch with reality and such an ambition to lie to the American people, don't we require a Congress that will exercise the Constitutional mandate of oversight? Every single American deserves it. Our forefathers deserve it. Our nation deserves it. In 13 days we can change the course in our Nation and hopefully hold Bush accountable for his (in)actions.

This shows you what the Republican controlled House is really all about:

An Atlanta man told a local television station and newspaper that former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley (news, bio, voting record) sent him sexually suggestive messages after he served as a congressional page 10 years ago.

Tyson Vivyan, 26, of Buckhead told WAGA-TV in a Wednesday interview that Foley began sending him instant messages about a month or two after his nine-month stint as a page ended in June 1997

Vivyan told the station that when he was a congressional page in 1996 and 1997 he barely spoke to Foley. But after he left the program - when he was 17 years old - Vivian says they had contact via e-mail about things he says where inappropriate.

"He somehow got ahold of my online identity on AOL and began sending me sexually illicit ims," Vivyan said in the TV interview.

Vivyan said he became upset when he learned that the messages were from Foley.

I wonder how Foley got this guy's AOL screen name? Sounds almost skalerish if you ask me. Oh but Clinton getting a blow job from an adult was more important.

Hmm does this really shock anyone? From this morning's

New York Times:

The Bush administration is rebuffing requests from members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee for its classified legal opinions on President Bush's
domestic spying program, setting up a confrontation in advance of a hearing
scheduled for next week, administration and Congressional officials said
Wednesday.

The Justice Department is balking at the request so far, administration
officials said, arguing that the legal opinions would add little to the
public debate because the administration has already laid out its legal
defense at length in several public settings.

Well hopefully yesterday's events will help form what happens here. The White
House refused to turn over documents on the response to Katrina. Of course they
were claiming "executive privilege".

The GAO comes out with a report faulting the White House and Homeland
Security for the response. Perhaps the same will come out of this. The White
House won't turn over documents and once again the White House will be proven in
the wrong. Of course it pisses me off to no end that the Republicans had no
problem at all issuing subpoenas about Clinton's blow job yet issues of our
constitution and our response to disasters they won't even consider that power.

Two weeks ago tomorrow was when Democrats shut down senate in order to get
answers about the intelligence committees phase two report. That is the second
part of the report that looks into the intelligence leading up to the war in
Iraq. During that closed session, it was agreed upon that a committee be formed
including three Senators from each side of the aisle. They were to act as a over
site into Sen. Pat Robert's committee and find out why the report has not been
completed. Today is the deadline for that committee to report back.

Now I am sitting here wondering if we will actually hear back from that
committee today, or if it will just be forgotten like phase two was. If that is
the case then perhaps another ballsy move by Harry Reid is in order. The
American people deserve to know and are demanding to know the truth. We want to
know if the President lied, manipulated the intelligence, or disposed of key
intelligence so he could promote this invasion. With over 2,000 soldiers dead it
is not just our right to know, it is our duty as citizens and voters to know the
truth.

I will be following C-Span closely today to see if anything comes out on this
story. Hopefully we will start hearing the truth but I won't hold my breath. It
seems as though there are too many important questions that still need to be
answered and those answers will only come from the President and vice-President
and they must be under oath. If a blow job can be important enough to make a
President swear on the Bible to tell the truth then A war certainly is.

In 1992 when Bill Clinton became our President, he was
faced with a load of problems. The top two were a budget that was in a record
deficit and dealing with a post cold war world. While dodging almost every kind
of bullet the right shot at him, he succeeded in both.

It’s no secret the right had to go on the offensive and
start attacking him with everything from “shady” real estate deals right down to
a blow job. They went as far as voting for impeachment because of the President
lying under oath and committing perjury, something that Karl Rove may have done
and the right now views as a minor crime.

Now Reuters is reporting that Bill Clinton is holding a
private summit this September in order to deal with the woes that are facing
this world. They include everything from terrorism to poverty.

Here is the entire article as published via Yahoo and can
be viewed
here:

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton says he is intent on
finding ways the private sector can solve some of the world's most pressing
problems from poverty to terrorism.

As host of a meeting in New York later this year of private
and public sector leaders, Clinton said in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday
there are plenty of problems governments simply cannot address.

"What I'm trying to do is figure out what private sector
people can do," said Clinton, 58, who left office in 2001 after eight years in
the White House which saw the longest-ever U.S. economic expansion but were
dogged by personal scandal.

"It's unrealistic to think all the world's problems will be
solved only by government actions," he said at his home in suburban New York.

One of our countries darkest hours has been rekindled.
Last week we learned the secret identity of a man who led to the downfall of an
American President. Mark Felt, the former second in command of the FBI broke his
thirty year silence and exposed himself as the famous “Deep Throat”.

Ironically this comes at a time when news of scandals
amongst Republicans seems to be as common as insurgent attacks in Iraq. This is
another thorn the Republican Party does not need. As if the Republican spin
machine hasn’t been already been in high gear trying to downplay the Downing
Street Memo, and Tom Delay’s alleged ethics violations, now it must go into
overtime. The Republicans must spin harder than ever and make Americans stop
thinking about Watergate.

It is no shock that we are seeing an onslaught of Nixon
supporters. They are coming out of the wood work defending Nixon’s involvement
in the Watergate Scandal. They are even going as far as to say Mark Felt
committed a treasonous act by releasing his information to the Washington Post.

Now take into consideration the scandalous Bill Clinton.
This is a man that the Republican Party has worked hard to demonize. Bill
Clinton, while serving as President of the United States, did the unthinkable.
He had an extra marital affair in the White House. To make matters even worse he
denied it under oath, something that led to a vote of impeachment against him.

That is why we should support Nixon. After all he was
never impeached; he stood down before Congress had the chance to. And Richard
Nixon did not do anything as unthinkable as getting a blow job from an intern.
No he just participated in some late night meetings organizing the breaking into
of the opponent’s party headquarters.
