According to this report, you were made aware of Foley’s actions and it is apparent you did nothing. Why did you not take action? As majority leader, you should have addressed this situation. Perhaps a better situation for your party would have been vigilance and removed Foley from all positions of power pending an investigation. […]
A day after the scandal breaks of Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fl) sending questionable emails to a 16 year old boy, he turns in his resignation to Congress. This was considered a “safe seat” for the GOP this fall. Considering how quickly Foley resigned, there must be a lot more to this sick tale. UPDATE: Cnn just […]
I always suspected you may have suffered from some sort of diminished mental capacity, but is there some other handicap you are suffering from that your are not sharing with us? I mean, I see that your car is parked in a handicap spot this morning and am just wondering what your handicap is. I […]

This is something I posted on another blog site a couple of weeks ago. “IN THE NEWS” Former cabinet colleague and foreign secretary attacks Tony Blair’s stance in Israel and the Middle East.

I have been waiting for this to happen. Olbermann has some more fun at O’Reilly’s expense. He is now taunting him over the news that O’Reilly’s ratings have plummeted and Olbermann’s has skyrocketed. You got to love this sort of news: OLBERMANN: Bill, boy. Bill-O! Hey! Over here. Back in reality-based reality. The latest ratings […]
