Is anyone else getting tired of the Foley coverage 24/7?

[spartan61]

Yes, I agree it is a scandal and Foley should be properly investigated and punished. But, I'm much more concerned with our military in Iraq. Doesn't the media or the a$$ministration even care that 21 of our nation's finest were killed the first 4 days of October? It's way past time to bring the troops home. Even Warner has said we are losing Iraq. He should have said, we have lost Iraq. Hey smirk, sneer, and rummy,how are you sleeping at night? You must be so proud of yourselves. Look what your greed for oil has wrought.

[SoFlaJet]

1. hey if this is what it takes

to throw these bastards out of power I'll take it

[Monkeyman]

2. Both stories need to be done

I would say this if there is that many KIA's think about how many been wounded. They will not be taken care of by VA replugs did not pass the 2007 Veterans Budget. People Seem to forget when they come home they are veterans. JUST MY RANT I TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THESE WOUNDED

[RestoreGore]

3. YES

They are putting their plans for Iran into motion and using this as a smokescreen... and it is again working. Also, we lost 13 troops in Iraq in three days. I agree the man is a scum and should be punished, but once again people are falling for the media spin.

[Webster Green]

21. Not really

They don't care about a smokescreen. They are going to do whatever they want. Some of us know about the Iran mobilization because we're political/news junkies, and know where to look for the truth. Most folks don't have a clue, so no smokescreen is necessary.

Their plan for Iran is continuing on schedule, but Foley-gate has nothing to do with it.

[RestoreGore]

25. Well, we are all entitled to our opinions

I suppose the timing to me is just suspect.

[nam78_two]

4. yeah...except for that it will bring the Repugs down...

That part I like...
But the est of the focus on it is getting to the disgusting voyeuristic, fake moral outrage level...
They are raping 15yo kids (or at least threatening them with rape according to the RS article) in Gitmo...
Not much outrage on that from those in the media that want to "protect children"?

[NJCher]

5. it's not like they'd cover the soldiers getting killed

If the Foley scandal wasn't around, so it's a moot point.

Sure, it would be nice if we had a real media but we don't.

If they want to go into a frenzy over a republican scandal, it's OK with me.

6. Are you kidding?

Remind me to measure it.

[nealmhughes]

7. Yes, tedious and boring, but at the same time, oddly compelling such

as witnessing a train wreck. Of course I am on an intellectual and political level more interested in the Iran Debacle, the roll over Congress, and the deaths of our boys in Iraq and the people who are suffering in Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, etc. But I do find it oddly tittilating in a prurient way...

[davidwparker]

8. No. Because it shows the GOP as hypocrits. As Randi said yesterday,

what does it take to wake up Amuricans. Not lying about a war. Not torture. Not rolling back the Constitution.

If this is what it takes to capture the Amurica's attention, then whatever ....

Personally, I'd like to cover 24/7 the 10 Jul mtg that Condi didn't know anything about, but now does. Why Ashcroft starting flying private jets before 9/11 etc.

[karlrschneider]

9. I started to write almost exactly what you did. K&R

:kick:
!!!!!!!!!!

[quinnox]

10. no, I'm lovin it

If it went all the way to Nov. with this coverage would be fine with me.

[Jack from Charlotte]

36. Me too and my joke list just keeps growing...........

A Democrat an independent and a Republican are on the Titanic when it hits the iceberg. People are screaming, the boat is listing and all hell is breaking loose. The Dem says,"We've got to save the chidren." The Independent says, "F*ck the children." And the Republican says........

Think we've got time?

[warrens]

11. Nope

There's plenty of other coverage. This merits lead coverage for, oh, about another two weeks. Then a quick reminder that kids are being slaughtered in Iraq after being molested by Repukes at home, and that should pretty much put the Repukes into the ash heap of history. This couldn't have happened at a better time. Thank you to whoever finally nailed this nazi prick's ass. So to speak.

[Poiuyt]

12. I'm not getting tired of it

After going through this with Clinton and Monica, it's nice to see it happening to the Repubs

[Ian David]

13. Penis

This story involves the word "penis."

Republickers are stupid, simple creatures with very few buttons to push in their brains.

They repsond to the penis button.

If we want our troops to come home, we have to keep shouting about the penises.

Penis.

[Hugin]

18. Yep... Republickers only have three brain cells.

#1) Reminds them to take in excessive sustenance.
#2) Keeps them from pooping in parades.
#3) Responds to the word 'PENIS'.

[rock]

40. Yes, the answer is

Penis

[Awsi Dooger]

14. I was sick of it on Saturday

I'm convinced the Woodward book is far more signfiicant and is being somewhat drowned out. This is not going to have the impact we expect or that is now being predicted.

[KurtNYC]

15. Yes watching the GOP squirm, lie and "dis-assemble" is

so painful :sarcasm:

This IS about Iraq bc the only way to re-direct foreign policy is get majorities in Congress. This Foley/Hastert/Fordham stuff has turned every day into Christmas. Let it last 35 more days!

[cynatnite]

16. Nope...Foleygate could tip the midterms in our favor...

which leads to subpoenas and hearings.

I do care about all that, but if this gets us the majority so we can put a stop to the uncontrolled mayhem this administration as wrought, I support it all the way.

[AlCzervik]

17. nope, Foley is the symptom and the house leadership is the disease and it

sure looks like many Merikans are waking up to that.

[NoPasaran]

19. Not one teeny tiny bit

I just wish there were more hours in the day!

[Red Right and BLUE]

20. Nope, not really. eom

[flobee1]

22. I agree to a point

Think of it this way-Al Capone was thrown in jail for tax evasion. He did much worse, but simple tax evasion was enough to bring him to justice and stop a murderous criminal.


Until you remove these criminals from power, the killing will not stop.

[Ian David]

23. I really don't care HOW we win back our country

Did the Republickers care when they took the country by a Diebold-assisted coup?

Have you seen the bumper stickers that say, "So glad I voted for Bush! Thank you, Florida!"

The Republickers KNOW they cheated... and they don't care!

So, no... I'm not going to get tired of this.

EVER.

I want to beat those fuckers over the head with this over and over and over until they crawl back into their trailer parks to sit in front of the TV watching cars go around in circles.

[RestoreGore]

28. The Republicans couldn't have done anything

Without compliant Democrats enabling them. Frankly, I'm sick of them all.

[Tarheel_Dem]

38. Do you agree with anything on Democratic Underground?

I've read some of your past posts, and it "seems" that you're totally disgusted with Democrats. But, alas, this is DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND where we generally support DEMOCRATS in an election cycle.
Just asking......

[RestoreGore]

41. I'm Disgusted With Political Whores...

Who put their own aspirations and selfishness ahead of the people, and those who allow FEAR to trump principle. Does that make me a "terrist" now? You mean I have to agree with EVERYTHING here to be considered part of the group? "Either you are with us or against us?" Is that it? I put principle first because I am an American first. When a Democrat in Congress finally grows a set of balls and really stands up to these bastards, I'll agree with that. OK? Even Al Gore took them all to task... Is he a "terrist" too then? I won't be surprised if that day comes soon enough, and it will be because BOTH parties in Congress were complicit in it.

[Dr Fate]

24. Nope. I am having the time of my life. In fact- I want to see more DEMS...

..on TV tying it to Woodard: "What else is the GOP congress covering up? Info on Iraq? 9/11?"

They seem to be refusing to do this at this point, but I can continue to hope.

[blogslut]

26. No!

n/t

[William769]

27. I want to see it on all news stations & the front pages of all news papers

[Little Star]

29. No! Not in the least! Bring it on.........

It's the best shot at getting the kool-aide drinkers out of their trance. NGU

[Subdivisions]

30. Only in the regard that it is distracting from other just-as-important

issues like the July 2001 Rice/Tenet meeting, the war in Iraq and the lost war in Afghanistan.

[Nia Zuri]

31. No!!!!!!

[geek tragedy]

32. It's KILLING the Republicans, so no I can't get enough. eom

[McCamy Taylor]

33. No.

[mcscajun]

34. Nope...but then again, I'm not watching it either. That helps a lot.

I get my news here, not over at the Corporate Media.

I figure this should run another few days, then we get a week and half (at least) of Hastert crap before he resigns, then the fallout from additional charges surfacing. Should bring us right up close to the November elections, if the timing works properly. :)

Schadenfreude!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

35. NO! NO! NO! If this is what it takes to bring these bastards down,

so be it! KEEP IT ON THE FRONT PAGE! MAKE IT THE NUMBER 1 STORY UNTIL NOVEMBER 7, 2006!

[femmocrat]

37. No way! Bring it on! The more the better!

[ourbluenation]

39. Yes I am but you should know that I am seeing righties dropping

support for the gop, left and right. it's unbelievable....truly. * molests the constitution and that's ok, but the foley thing comes along and they are done. so yeah, keepping it in the news 24/7 works for me.
