CNN: Foley EXCHANGED "sexually questionable" messages |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-08-06 05:19 PM by Bluebear
So THIS is the issue that the GOP-led Congress of the last dozen or so years has selected to leave us with.
Anhow, Blitzer's show just reported that Foley EXCHANGED "sexually questionable" messages with pages. The word 'exchange' to me seems carefully chosen; it places "half the blame" on the young men who participated in the message/conversations. Also, now the messages have morphed into only "questionable".
From what I recall, nothing much was left to "question". (BO, DUDE! Cute butt bouncing in the air!/Do you do it in a towel?/Is your little guy limp or growing?/ I am as hard as a rock!/ Take out a ruler and measure it for me! etc.) Yeah, CNN, very "questionable".

1. Perhaps they're hoping that folks will forget about the "Foley scandal." |
|
I have news for the GOP-we won't forget, dammit!

2. Since the pages were under 18 it doesn't matter if it was an exchange. |

Foley was an adult, the pages were kids. Foley was wrong for instigating these messages with kids.

3. Depends on the age of consent |
|
In D.C. it's 16...although I don't know if any of his IMs and emails were interstate and if he can be prosecuted for that.
