Goss/Hookergate: Is this finally the straw that breaks the media's back?
Have we *finally* reached the point that not even the Washington courtier class can ignore it all any more--that all of them realize that something is rotting all over our country? Amusing, isn't it--if a *sex* scandal was to bring these GOP bastards down? And connected to the *Watergate*, yet?...ROTFL...history really does move in circles...

2. No, it's a civil war and our side, the truth, is under represented.
They had their chance tonight but they chose to concentrate on Patrick Kennedy, a story of some interest but about someone who is getting treatment. I'm much more interested, as are the American people by and large, in the fact that apparently 15 members of the House got "chauffeured" for free by Wilkes and some others. I also read that the limo company in DC has some huge contract with Homeland Security.

Interesting in that government employees are required to fly coach and that taking a limo is verboten for almost all federal employees. Hmmm...what's with that.

But no, the few truth tellers in the MSM get a story out then it's spiked, just like this one.

This will return again, propelled by the Internet and MSM's fears of looking irrelevant (as opposed to
outright harmful;).

I hope you are right but MSM will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into a full expose of this
story.

However, if we could get them a limo...:evilgrin:

Welcome to DU.

3. I doubt it. I think the media are bigger whores than the ones operating
out of the Watergate.

5. Republicans/hookers
That about sums it up. We need to tie repub with hooker every chance we get. After all it was sex that hurt the big dog. The repukes lie to get wars started and nothing, outed CIA agents, nothing, they have screwed this country for 6 yrs and nothing.

We need a good sex scandal to get the people involved. They dont care about anything else, it seems.

Repubs/Hookers

6. I keep refreshing the WaPo site waiting for Dana Priestly's story
that is supposed to be there. It is not there yet. I think that will give us an idea about why Goss is gone.

7. There is no straw that will break the media's back. They will
propagandize for the fascist U.S. government to the bitter end of their existence.
