Didn't the lying bastards promise results before the elections?

1. The congress or law enforcement?

Not much is going to be done while most members of congress are campaigning and law enforcement works on it's on schedule.

2. no, in fact they said not to expect anything before the election
after saying they'd wrap it up quick, the second page came forward, and they used that as an excuse to stall.

4. Damn, I hadn't heard that. I thought the ethics comm. report would come out before 11/7
Denny Hastert needs to go down, and getting busted for the cover-up is the only way in this redder-than-red district.

Shit.

I thought they had a 10 day mandate or something to get the report out there.

I'm too lazy.

However, from recent reports, we're supposed to hear the results of the Foley investigation after the election and the disgraced legislator is staying at his rehabilitation facility for longer that the original 30 days.

6. Did you happen to catch Chris Matthews' Sunday show?
In his final segment during the 'Tell me something I don't know', one of the reporters said (paraphrase): "Well, I'm being cryptic here, but the Ethics Probe on the Foley affair is going to be expanding." It really got Chris' attention, but he wouldn't give any other info.

I'm wondering if they're grilling each and every person testifying with questions like, "I'm going to read you a list of names and just answer yes or no whether each person, to the best of your knowledge, had any idea that Rep. Foley was fond of Pages. Pelosi? Hoyer? Rangel? Conyers? ..."

13. Unless, of course, the name Pelosi or Hoyer happen to
be spoken. If there were a Democrat they could pin this on (elected or staffer) and then paint every Democrat in Congress with it, we'll have a live press conference covered by all three networks and the cables.

14. Maybe someone will be good enough to "burp" the lid.
Just enough to let the air out of these bags of republican rotten air.
