So...I was listening to the Al Franken show today just before it ended and he had a caller or guest who was making the assertion that the Democrats knew about Foley for 3 YEARS but saved it until NOW to use in the 2006 elections...ergo..Foley did the bad thing but it's still all our fault - in short, when in doubt, always blame the Democrat.

So let me get this straight...we Democrats are to blame for this mess because we were "keeping our powder dry" for THREE YEARS and saving this scandal for NOW, the OFF YEAR election instead of holding it for just ONE YEAR and then using it TWO YEARS AGO during the 2004 PRESIDENTIAL election which was ALSO a Congressional election?

:wtf:

Yeah, ok, that makes a lot of sense to me...(but only in a bizarro WingNut world..:tinfoilhat::crazy::tinfoilhat::crazy:)

Why oh why, if we were saving it for election season, didn't we Democrats have the good sense to use it on a PRESIDENTIAL election rather than wasting it on the OFF-YEAR election? :shrug::shrug::think::think::think:

I'm SURE had the tables been turned the Republicans wouldn't have squandered their cards so foolishly - let's just speak hypothetically for a moment:

Suppose a married 50 something Democratic President had been caught fooling around with a 20 something intern he worked with in the White House.

I'm just speaking hypothetically, mind you...

I'm sure the Republicans would not have been so "incompetent" as we've obviously been by holding it back several years and then using it for instance in the 2002 election....instead of a Presidential election year.

I'm sure they would have used it at the next available election opportunity against us.

(This sounds kind of familiar...but I don't know why..)

Please DU'ers, in your great wisdom and experience, explain this bit of Democratic Party "incompetence" to me.

Why did we "waste" this scandal on an off year Congressional election instead of using it in 2004 during a Presidential election when it could have denied Bush a second term?

1. That was Mark Luther
Franken's childhood friend and a Limpballs dittohead. He's just repeating what his masters tell him.

2. Yeah but Al should have called Bush*t on him for this..
obvious stupidity in his argument...

I tried to call in but they weren't taking any more calls.

I basically wrote Al by email and said the same thing I just posted here..
