AmericaBlog. who's been excellent on the Foley scandal, has this dilemma today, what should John do?
"Second Republican congressman snared in page sex scandal?
by John in DC - 10/07/2006 08:03:00 AM
Denny Hastert has put me in a difficult position.
I've heard rumors. Unsubstantiated talk. No proof yet. But I've heard things. Just like I heard things about Mark Foley this past July. This time I've heard things about a relatively senior Republican member of the House, and also about someone on the Speaker's own staff. Both rumors seem relevant to this story as it's unfolding.
So here's my dilemma. Denny Hastert says that if I don't report the unsubstantiated allegations I've heard, I'm a criminal. But the thing is, I'm also a journalist, and a good human being. I don't think it's right to print unsubstantiated rumors I've heard, rumors that could make life quite difficult for this Republican congressman and this senior member of Hastert's staff.
So what do I do? Do I publish unsubstantiated rumors about a GOP congressman and one of Denny Hastert's top aides? I don't want to, I don't think it's right, but Denny Hastert says he'll sic the FBI on me for hurting children if I don't. And he'll probably end up blaming Nancy Pelosi if my rumors turn out to be true and I didn't go public with them.
So what do I do? Maybe I'll just call Denny Hastert's office on Monday, tell them what I've heard, and let them decide how comfortable they are with the Speaker's new standard of justice."
* i say send the info to ABC Brian Ross, he'll invistate, it's "his" story and the wingnuts are trying to smear him right now. So he's up to find the truth. Imagine if there really is a cover-up on a SECOND congressman! oh dear!

About 75 protesters remained on the street, said Mr. Grove.
He said the crowd was asked repeatedly to disperse.
Mr. Grove said a Port Authority canine unit was called in to help with crowd control. Two officers used their tasers to stun two protesters who "were asked to leave, but did not go," Mr. Grove said.The tasers he said were empty of the cartridges that supply a more powerful charge.
"It was a very tense situation. They were very close to the governor and shouting on top of him."As a precaution, the governor was ushered into a T-station supply closet and stayed there until the crowd left.

"Well, Democrats care about the children, Brit, and so I think they should pressure states to raise the age of consent from 16 to 18 so that it's clearly illegal for people like Mark Foley to hit on 17-year- old pages. . . . They could certainly pass a resolution supporting the Boy Scouts in their effort to keep people like Mark Foley from becoming scout masters, I think the Democrats could really do a lot of good for our children."
Wow: for the first time in the NEWSWEEK poll, a majority of Americans now believe the Bush administration knowingly misled the American people in building its case for war against Saddam Hussein: 58 percent vs. 36 percent who believe it didn’t.
Where is that coming from? What is making respondents open their eyes, finally?
Are the lies about Foley making people ask "if they're lying about that, what else are they lying about?"

That's exactly it, Poppie.
The lies the GOP's been telling about PredatorGate -- on top of their Katrina lies, their Schiavo lies, and their Social Security lies, not to mention their lies about Iraq -- have been the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
That's one reason why PredatorGate is so dangerous to the GOP. (Another one is that it's a huge, HUGE time and money sink for the GOP. They're spending time backstabbing each other, and money on lawyering up, when they need to be out campaigning.)

"Democrats now outdistance Republicans on every single issue that could decide voters’ choices come Nov. 7. In addition to winning—for the first time in the NEWSWEEK poll—on the question of which party is more trusted to fight the war on terror (44 to 37 percent) and moral values (42 percent to 36 percent), the Democrats now inspire more trust than the GOP on handling Iraq (47 to 34); the economy (53 to 31); health care (57 to 24); federal spending and the deficit (53 to 29); gas and oil prices (56 to 23); and immigration (43 to 34)."

Confounding all the pollsters' predictions, yesterday voters across the country put Republican candidates -- incumbents and challengers alike -- into Congress, by an amazingly consistent 52% majority in every race. In Washington, President Bush congratulated the victors, claiming a 'renewed mandate' for his political agenda. Asked about the discrepancy between official ballot counts and exit polls -- which had indicated Democratic victories in most races, sometimes by 70% or more -- the President chuckled and replied, 'I've always said you can't trust fuzzy math.'"
In related news, Democratic candidates who had earlier today declared their intentions to seek recounts or voting fraud investigations have apparently changed their minds. In a series of letters with identical text except for their names, all the candidates withdrew their allegations, apologized for 'impugning the integrity of our great American electoral system,' and stated that they would be withdrawing from public life. None could be reached for comment; their families, staff, and campaign representatives all claimed to have no knowledge of their current whereabouts, and to be distressed by these unexpected departures.
Anyone here recall that the last time Bush's popularity dropped so sharply, 9/11 happened and sent him through the roof?
The GOPlins are going to be truly desperate this election. Put nothing -- nothing -- past them.
