UNK, I am pretty sure the guy they got has been ID for Levy, at any rate, Condit had NOTHING to do with it, but as you see most folks never heard that and Condit is still a murderer.

Clinton was attacked for LIEING and a little sex which he never admitted to until the DNA made him. The DISBARRED asshole got a BJ in the Oval Office, come on, that and raping Anita is enough to want me to barf everytime I see him.

The last I heard, they arrested someone else for similar crimes, who they think may be the murderer, but no one has been convicted. Sort of just died down in MSM, as most cold cases do.

I believe Chandra Levy was slightly older and in grad school. Still sleezy, but on a slezzy scale, not as slezzy as high school students or undergraduates. Also, I don’t think she was working as an intern for congress.

While it’s unlikely that the congressman had anything to do with the murder, he caught hell, publicly insulted on TV by the DC police on TV, for not cooperating with a murder investigation and being more interested in covering his own reputation.

Both situations would be rather petty, except to the people involved of course, and I am sympathetic to the argument of why is the national election decided over a few perverts. But since the Republicans attacked Clinton, I guess they can’t use this argument.

And I really did not care much about this until some radical “Republicans” developed some conspiracy theories blaming Foley’s victims and George Soros of course.

I am somewhat sympathetic to the Republican Leaders for not throwing the book at Foley years ago, hoping he would get his act together. But unlike impartial judges, the Republican leaders did seem to have self-interest in avoiding scandal.

But some of these republican conspiracy theries that the pages set Foley up, are as wishful thinking as Bush blew up the World Trade Towers. And as every teacher knows, it does not matter if a cute girl or boy comes on to you – say no. And half a dozen cute girls or boys came on to you and you are not responsible, give me a break.

This is what is wrong about this. “your underage child” sounds like this are 10 year olds. They are NOT. At the least they are 16 year olds and are at the AGE OF CONSENT in DC. They are NOT CHILDREN. It is not pedophila.

Was Foley bad wrong imoral? YES!

Should he have resigned as he did. *&(()(*& Yes!!

Until the IMs came out was there ANYTHING that ANYBODY could have reasonibly done? NO! There just wasn’t enough there to do anything but tell Foley to stop the emails. Which was done.

If the Leadership knew about the IMs. They should be toast.

If the leadership didn’t know about the IMs. What else could they reasonably have done? There really isn’t anything in the emails.

If people knew about the IMs and kept silent until October for political reasons they should pay a heavy price. They knowingly covered up the scandal so that they could break it at the best time FOR THEM. And all their talk about protecting Pages is a bunch of BS. They care nothing a the Pages. They only care about their political agenda.

People get off your high horse. The people that are being talked are ALL over the AGE of CONSENT. Was it impropper? YES! Should not have been done! BUT there is an AGE of CONSENT for a reason!!.

In Houston a man married a girl of 13. The courts approved it because it was alright in his CULTURE and the parents approved. I think he should be horse wipped but the courts OKed it. Right. ()*)(^)^ NO!!!

Above age of consent means NO pedophila. What part of that don’t you understand.

And I don’t agree with it but it is the LAW. It can be sick, dirty, etc. but it ain’t pedophila.

Frankly, I’d be more scared of a hetero that dates women who end up dead, than a gay man who just engages in cybersex with men.

Why did Reynolds’s chief of staff, Kirk Fordham, just resign?

Mr. Fordham, who had been Foley’s chief of staff for 10 years, until 2004, quit Wednesday over a dispute with Hastert’s chief of staff, Scott Palmer. Fordham says he had brought concerns about Foley’s behavior to Mr. Palmer before 2004. Palmer denies the allegation. Fordham told reporters he resigned so he would not become a political liability to Reynolds, who is in a tough reelection battle. Fordham has pledged to cooperate with the FBI investigation.

If you don’t beleive the Christian Science Monitor, one can read Fordham’s own words online.

Kemp, even before I saw your comment, I was wondering what Drudge was smoking or drinking. While Drudge was alwasy good at finding tabloid subjects for his tabloid website, the times I heard him speak, he can only spout the extreme right-wing Republican line – Drudge had a couple of exclusives today such as:

CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE CHATS WERE PAGE ‘PRANK GONE AWRY’
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments

——————————
At least Foley himself did not blame the victim(s)and only some likely unauthorized fringe “Republican” loyalists blame the victim.

And it was not ONE young man, but many young men that Foley got into trouble with. Like they all set Foley up? I’ll believe that when I believe rich white boys like to gang rape $100 whores.

I don’t believe that he was entrapped. I don’t believe in the idea of entrapment to begin with.

You can’t entrap someone with an honest conscience. He was very quick to resign, because he knew the jig was up.

Whatever games were being played, pranks—which aren’t very nice……a bad individual was rooted out, and needs to face consequences.

This whole thing doesn’t just go away because bloggers play games.

Someone had intended to do bad, and they were caught.

And I’m grateful, no matter what no matter how it was done…..one less predator, the safety of our children, and that’s all that matters.

Let the spin begin!
