kallend 2,184 #1 May 11, 2008 Yet another illustration of what the GOP means when it claims to stand for "Family Values". www.nytimes.com/2008/05/10/nyregion/10fossella.html?em&ex=1210651200&en=a69218a650f54fb6&ei=5087%0A (At least it's heterosexual this time)....

Gawain 0 #2 May 11, 2008 Is that really the New York Times? One paragraph about an affair, and the rest is all about the accomplishments and the bright future...of a Republican no less. NY certainly is keeping the political news...Gov. Spitzer, Gov. Paterson, now Rep. Fossella... Well, he has the precedent of Sen. Craig to stay in his seat. How Rep. Fossella's fellow Congressmen officially respond will be the acid test I think. No one lined up behind Sen. Craig to stay in. I don't think you'll see anything different here either. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Amazon 7 #5 May 12, 2008 Quote Probably more so than having a gay escort service running out of your DC townhouse, eh? So just how DID Mr Guckert get White House credentials??? I mean SOMEONE must have vetted Jeff Gannon... when they needed a schill in the audience.. who knew and when did they know it..that he was a gay escorthttp://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=James_Guckert "Jeff Gannon" is the pseudonym used by James Dale Guckert, unmasked in February 2005 by John Aravosis's AMERICAblog.org Blogspot and Media Matters for America, a liberal watchdog group based in Washington, DC, to be a fake White House "correspondent" working for the pseudo news organization Talon News, which is closely tied to GOPUSA, a right-wing site owned by a Texas-based Republican activist. Gannon had access to the White House and was admitted to the White House press briefing room on day press passes for almost two years. He was recognized for editorializing before asking "softball" questions of the White House press staff and, even on occasion, of President George W. Bush, to break up lines of aggressive questioning by legitimate reporters, thereby assisting the staff in controlling press conferences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pirana 0 #6 May 12, 2008 I once had a gay escort service running out of my DC townhome. Oh, wait a minute; it was a flat in an Uptown brownstone, . . . and it was dog walking instead of gay escorts. Pretty close though, heh?" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
