Ross on ABC: Other house members were being watched...

[cynatnite]

for their behavior with the pages. Foley is so far the only one documented.

Ross states they are still getting information from pages about other house members.

:wow:

1. More shoes about to drop,

Woah!!

[movonne]

4. Maybe this is a setup to drag some dems in...

[Connie_Corleone]

9. I'm hoping that none are Democrats.

[rodeodance]

11. Gowd, I hope not also.

[cynatnite]

12. Agreed...

but if Dems were inappropriate with pages, they should pay for it as well. There should be zero tolerance on this by both sides.

This scandal proves the repubs not only tolerated, but looked the other way. :grr:

edited for clarification.

[TahitiNut]

24. I, on the other hand, hope there aren't any others, period.

I guess that's what makes me an independent liberal democrat and not a partisan. I'd hate to place my concern over the party of the predator above my concern for the safety of the pages.

:shrug:

But that's just me. YMMV, of course. :dunce:

Yeah. I know. It wasn't meant that way.

[Bucky]

2. Dear Lord, let 'em all be Republicans.

I should be ashamed of that prayer. Should be.

[NOLADEM]

26. This is gonna be good

We are likely to learn why some Dems and Repubes seem to make such strange, out of character votes from time to time. To save their asses.

What arrogant idiots to try to nail an underage page, who are almost universally contributors' children.

[rodeodance]

3. "how some House leaders may be getting nervous"--teacher for cbs coming

up now

[cynatnite]

5. Russert said repubs are in a panic over this n/t

[rodeodance]

16. Good.

[rodeodance]

6. may be TOO LATE for damage contral saying a reporter (Hastud also).

[rodeodance]

8. the big question: "Did the learder keep it secret to keep a House seat"?

[rodeodance]

10. showed clip of Assturd saying: house leaders did NOT know of 'explicit

" messages.

[rodeodance]

13. showed some Dem Repres. who said Repugs not tell them.

[rodeodance]

14. Gondozalas: not say much at this time.

[bobbolink]

28. You are so GREAT with your running commentary!

Thank you so much, rodeodance! I look for your posts on tv stuff, cuz I know you make the effort to give us as much of the gist of it as possible.

Having tried to do it myself, I know it isn't easy, so I really appreciate your efforts!

:toast: :yourock: :toast:

[babylonsister]

7. I heard that. I'm sure if Ross gets enough ammo, more

shit will be hitting the fan. What a bunch of sickos! :grr:

[rodeodance]

15. "hi Matty, Hi Timmy" Foley to this pages (from a female page).

[MissMarple]

17. Who ever else is involved...it is still a failure of the GOP leadership.

The holier than thou, halo wearing GOP leadership covered up, was complicit in overlooking the behavior of a predator.

I would be saddened if any Dems are associated with this, but, human nature being what it is, it is possible. Sad, but possible. And that marks the difference between us and the freeper GOP, denial is not possible if the facts are there.

[cynatnite]

18. I do think if repubs thought a dem was involved...

They would have screamed and went into fits over it. Maybe I'm being too hopeful or even naive, but I'm inclined to think there isn't a dem involved.

[BattyDem]

19. If a Dem was involved, the GOP would have already released his name ...

email records, IM logs, hard drive, etc. I have a feeling this is strictly a GOP scandal.

[TheDebbieDee]

21. "This is strictly a GOP scandal."

Agreed.

But the Abramhoff scandal is also a repuke only scandal but the MSM has still managed to intimate on several occasions that Abramhoff money found its way into Dem pockets, too!

[BattyDem]

25. Good point.

If the GOP does drag the Democrats into it to muddy the waters, the Dems better nip it in the bud! Challenge the Repugs: "Show me one email, one letter or one shred of evidence that a Democrat was involved, and I'm not talking about a Democratic Congressman who shook hands with the brother of the father of a teenage page ... show me a REAL connection to the scandal!"

[never_get_over_it]

22. I have a feeling since Nancy Pelosi asked why

the Dem leadership didn't know about warnings that it most likely not Dems - and I agree if it were Dems the Repunks would have gotten it out there by now to stop their bleeding....

Also I have thought since the second I heard Foley resigned that there was A LOT more too this because the guy bailed to damn quickly...

[cynatnite]

23. I head that ABC had some emails...

and then Foley bailed in minutes. It blew my mind at how fast it happened.

[MissMarple]

29. Foley's staff tried to stop ABC from publishing.

www.tpmmuckraker.com It all came from the kids. How clueless are these guys, they were so blindsided by kid culture and technology.

[cynatnite]

31. Not only clueless...

but they rely too much on their base, IMO. They think they're invincible because of it.

[Seen the light]

20. Speculation anyone?

I'm hoping it's Robin Hayes. :)

[MissMarple]

27. One of Rohrabacher's staffers is charged with sexual contact with a child.

Jeffrey Ray Nielson.

BOSSHOG posted this earlier. It is still flying under the radar in blogs and the local paper.

I googled, there were very few hits for this particular Nielsen.

[Little Star]

30. I personally don't give a crap which party

I personally don't give a crap which party they belong to, if they are guilty, put their asses in jail! Sick predators! High school juniors deserve a safe learning environment be it Page School or HS.
