MSNBC just reports Foley's lawyer will be on in an hour with "new details"

[tinfoilinfor2005]

This right after their announcements of the most recent ABC charges of more IM's with more pages.

1. What'll it be?

He was abused as a child?

Or

He was a victim of predatory pages?

[clmbohdem]

5. Or is cooperating to finger other members in the House?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. That's what got him in trouble in the first place.

[Debi]

9. Oh you DID NOT

:spank:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. If somebody sets them up, I gotta knock em down.

[Lochloosa]

11. ...

:wow: :spray:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

8. I don't know.

Maybe the rehab place told Foley that he had to come clean and admit to all transgressions? Or maybe his lawyers suggested this to him????

[TahitiNut]

15. Would that be so inconceivable?

As an ethnic Polish-American raised Roman Catholic, is it impossible to imagine a childhood trauma and repressive culture leading to an atrophied emotional development that left him as an emotional adolescent, incapable of growing beyond an attraction to people that age?

It does not alter the FACT that such behavior was continually covered up - as it probably was for his entire life. Practice makes perfect. Engaging in more cover-ups and expecting positive results is, imho, a fair way of characterizing the problem.

"You pay me now or you pay me later."

The piper's due only accrues interest.

17. Inconcievable?

That he was abused? No.

That he'd use it as an excuse? No.

That it is an excuse? Yes.

[TahitiNut]

19. True.

After all, it's not like he had post-partum psychosis. :shrug:

[Missy M]

2. The new details will be it was all Clinton's fault....

and Foley is not to blame.

[soothsayer]

3. ABC made for tv movie: The Path to the Gay Page

[lisa58]

4. Will that be when Tucker is on? n/t

[KansDem]

6. Nice of MSNBC to be so accomodating...

No doubt they want to be sure true justice is accorded, and is willing to give the benefit of the doubt always until this matter is cleared up.

:sarcasm:

[shaniqua6392]

12. That he was conducting cybersex

after he interrupted a vote in the House in 2003?? Because that is breaking news on CNN.com right now. Arrest the bastard NOW!!!! Then arrest the stupid parents of those poor young men who knew about it and did nothing. Child endangerment. Plain and simple.

[Debi]

14. I thought the parents complained

and were told it would be taken care of (and Hastert lied about it)? Am I wrong?

[shaniqua6392]

18. If some idiot was doing that to my child

I would do more than complain to the Congress or the person in charge of the W.H. Pages. I heard that they did not want to press charges or anything. What about other children that he could have molested. They should have contacted the police and/or the FBI if that did not work. This is going to involve other children. Trust me on that one. This is not just ONE young boy. It will turn out that there were 2-3 or more. Hastert said he did not know anything until last Friday. Bullshit. The kids parents are probably stupid Repukes that did not want to make any waves.

13. give us details

please

This interview is the setup for Foley's defense. I am dying to know what that defense will be.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

20. Wish I had some.

They were reporting on the new ABC discovery of Foley having a sexual talk with a page during a vote on the floor of the congress. And then they said that his lawyer had just announced that he would be on in an hour with new information, or something to that effect.

New stuff breaking minute to minute on this today.

[blogslut]

21. well, when you hear something

:)

[cynatnite]

16. It'll be a statement of Foley falling on his sword...

he'll take the blame and say that we should stop picking on the poor repukes.

:eyes:

[DemPopulist]

22. Maf54: love details

:)

[Catherine Vincent]

23. His defense will be that he has been on anti-depressant.
