Wonder how Matt PUDGE is "covering" (for) the FOLEY dealie?

[UTUSN]

I hadn't clicked-in to the PUDGE site in a couple of years. Some Sunday nights I *do* run the radio in the background and post threads of embarrassing things PUDGE inspires. So, predictably, there are NO siren graphic flashing, NO multiple stories. Just this ONE little link in NORMAL type, WAY overshadowed with a huge picture of two "laughing" 9-11 hijackers. Everything else? Just NORMAL news links. One Rosie graphic as the poster child for "the Left wing takeover of America."

The ONLY Foley link is a benign sounding AP thing, framing the Repuke leadership as being FIRM and HARD against FOLEY.

Preemptive disclaimer: Please no why-do-you-boost-him-by-clicking ripostes. Thanks.

House Leadership Rips Foley on E-Mails


By DEVLIN BARRETT

WASHINGTON (AP) - ....

"The improper communications between Congressman Mark Foley and former House Congressional pages is unacceptable and abhorrent. It is an obscene breach of trust," Hastert, R-Ill., Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said in a written statement Saturday evening. "His immediate resignation must now be followed by the full weight of the criminal justice system." ....

1. Pretty Funny Actually

This is a HUGE political story ... and the emerging House GOP leadership cover-up is moving at light speed into a full blown scandal.

But "Sludge" only has one little line, hidden at the top of the page (as of 9:55 PM Rocky Mountain Time).

"House Leadership Rips Foley on E-Mails...

But the story is really about how Rep. Thomas Reynolds "told Speaker Dennis Hastert months ago about concerns that a fellow GOP lawmaker had sent inappropriate messages to a teenage boy."

For "Sludge" to so blatantly downplay this is probably a very good indication that Hastert and Boner maybe goners soon.

2. How Fox Would Have Reported Mark Foley's Resignation if He Were a Democrat

"THIS IS A FOX NEWS ALERT! Again, we have a FOX NEWS ALERT! We have just learned that Florida DEMOCRAT, Congressman Limp Wrist, has been forced to resign his House seat, effective immediately. Again, this is BREAKING NEWS, it just happened a little while ago and we're working on getting all the details for you as soon as possible but since it's BREAKING NEWS we have to go with what we know so far. What we know is that, again, BREAKING NEWS HERE, several days ago, as we've been telling you all along, it came to light that DEMOCRAT Wrist has been corresponding via email, in some very suggestive, sexual ways, with a teenage BOY page at the Capitol. Not knowing how to handle the situation, since, after all, Wrist is a POWERFUL, INFLUENTIAL and PROMINENT DEMOCRAT, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and DEMOCRAT Chair of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, the BOY wrote to another congressman, saying he was totally and completely "freaked out" and that what Wrist wrote made him downright "sick." Poor kid.

Our own Greta Van Sustren is on her way to the Capitol building right now and we hope to have a live feed from her in a few minutes. I'm also hearing in my ear that we are trying to get the BOY in for a live interview in the next few minutes -- again, we're working under BREAKING NEWS conditions here -- and we hope to have that LIVE INTERVIEW regarding this crisis for the House DEMOCRATS - for you in this hour. Stay with us. We'll get back to House DEMOCRAT leader Nancy Pelosi, we'll see what she knows about what appears to be developing into a sex scandal involving a House DEMOCRAT, later.

Meanwhile, we'll have lots more -- more live guests and more details as they come in -- we're going to stay with this story affecting House DEMOCRATS for as long as it takes -- more on this BREAKING NEWS after this. Stay with us. This has been a FOX NEWS ALERT. Back in a minute."
