Joe dead woman in office Scarborough opens his mouth

Scarborough: D.C.'s dark underbelly exposed
Joe Scarborough and Mark Foley entered Congress together in 1994


I know Mark Foley. Mark Foley is a friend of mine. But in all my years working with him in Congress and on TV, I could have never foreseen the sleazy events that brought about his fall from power.

-snip-

...... I also told him not to be surprised if the White House stepped in with a candidate like Mel Martinez to drive him from the race. Mark guaranteed me his friends in the Bush administration would never do such a thing.

-snip-

Regarding political maneuvering, I would suggest that Democrats remember Napoleon’s advice that one should never interfere when your enemy is destroying himself. Dems should keep quiet so not to open themselves up to charges of hypocrisy. After all, their party did little when one of their colleagues had a homosexual affair with a 17 year old intern—engaging in sex with the teen in his Georgetown apartment and then taking him to Portugal to carry on the illicit affair. The disgraced representative remained in Congress for another decade and was never stripped of anything other than his clothes by the teenage boy.

'his fall from power'? so that is what is important?

'Napoleon's advice' ? just how valuable is Napoleon's advice?

5. There's something to his comment
After all, the Republicans seem to be digging like crazy to get themselves out of this hole they're in; but to maintain all silence because the GOP might (okay, will) bring up events from 17 years ago is just stupid. I don't see Republicans clamming up simply because they come to the table with unclean hands, whether it's flip-floppery, hypocrisy, cutting and running, or anything else. In the GOP world, the zen is always "now," and what they said or did 10 years, 10 months, 10 days or 10 seconds ago is no longer operative so long as they're scoring a political point.

7. So, Killer Joe tells us to be quiet means we should be talking about
this issue non-stop.

Hey, thanks Joe! :thumbsup:

8. Please correct your subject line.
It should read:

"Joe dead woman in office, laughs about it on Imus Scarborough opens his mouth"

http://www.allhatnocattle.net/7-10-03-hillary-otclasses-tucker-carlson.htm

In complementing Scarborough on his sense of humor, Imus said, "Don't be afraid to be funny, because you are funny. I asked you why you aren't in Congress. You said that you had sex with the intern and then you had to kill her." To which Scarborough laughed, "Yeah, ha, ha ha., well, what are you gonna do?"


Thanks in advance,

H.T.

:evilgrin:
