1. From rehab? nt

[AlCzervik]

2. here we go, he's either going to clear the house leadership or confirm

they all knew.

[notadmblnd]

17. he's going to try and clear Hastert

apparently Hastert has been told he has 48 hours to quiet this down. I read that here in GD somewhere in the last hour or so.

[MADem]

How can HE clear Hastert, though? It's not as though HE controlled

any investigation into his activities. Old Boner Boehner said that Denny got the word. They're now busy trying to wrestle each other under the bus wheels.

He can try to say he lied to everyone, maybe that's how he'll try to help, but it just doesn't wash, especially when pages have been WARNED about this guy for the last five years.

[fishwax]

50. I agree ... I don't see how what he has to say can benefit Hastert

but I guess we'll see ...

[notadmblnd]

52. I didn't he'd be successful. I just said he was going to try.

I don't see hastert quieting this thing down either.

[blitzen]

49. not sure how the former possibility would be a "bombshell"

[KyndCulture]

3. Waiting on the "I've sinned"

speech... to go with the demon alcohol.


Course as Randi said, his problem is not 12 yr old scotch, it's 12 yr old boys!!!!

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

4. SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN

Time to tell us how completely innocent he is, and how troubled a lie he led with his alcoholism.

Yeah, like I'm going to believe ANYTHING this ASSHOLE'S lawyer says.

[KurtNYC]

18. Overheard on the bus: "Rich people always have reasons and

excuses but poor people are just criminals." From a construction worker Re: media coverage of any rich person who gets into trouble.

[WilliamPitt]

5. Oh God

Remember that scandal-rocked treasurer who shot himself at his press conference?



Budd Dwyer.

I hope someone checks Foley's pockets before he takes the podium.

Yeah, I'm serious. I've been on low-grade suicide watch with this guy since the weekend.

[JackBeck]

9. I do. I grew-up in the Philly suburbs.

We got home from school early that day and I remember being pissed because his conference interrupted what I was watching. And then, he pulls a gun out of a manila envelope and blows his brains out. To this day, still can't believe I saw what I did.

(You were great on Randi. She let your segment go long!)

[davidinalameda]

I remember seeing edited footage on Pittsburgh stations

disturbing stuff

[JackBeck]

The news played the crap out of that clip.

I remember they were debating whether or not to show the clip in its entirety. I never got a chance to choose. Saw it with my own eyes.

[davidinalameda]

51. I can't imagine

I don't want to imagine

[TorchTheWitch]

53. So did I

I also grew up in the philly burbs and thought the same exact thing... were you at my house? ;)

Man, I'll never forget seeing that... eeeeek.

[MADem]

13. Good lord....I was in and out of the country during that era

...working my ass off...I missed that horror entirely! WOW.

[timber84]

14. It's his attorney giving the press conf. right ? Foley still in

detox?

[hlthe2b]

20. Just what occurred to me...

Oh, heavens I can't take more of that....

The guy is sick, but I certainly don't wish him to go out like that...

[notadmblnd]

22. I predicted suicide too.

of course, the question is.. is foley going to do it or is someone going to do it for him?

[mwdem]

26. I saw that..

I was living in S. Jersey at the time. Verrrry disturbing, to say the least.

[johnnie]

29. I remember that

They showed it all the way thru on the news here. I had just got home from work and was just eating dinner when they showed it. My mother had decided to make spaghetti that day..lol.

[moc]

39. A DUer who works with sex offenders predicted he might

kill himself.

:scared:

[Spazito]

6. ABC has the following: Foley Bombshell Coming...

http://abcnews.go.com/

It is a Breaking News banner and ties it to Foley's attorney news conference!

[BuyingThyme]

7. Baseball or the Foley Follies.

[Bluebear]

8. PREVIEW >>>>>>>>

[timber84]

11. lol

[hlthe2b]

23. Good thing I'm in an office and not a cubie... I just broke up

:rofl: as I got to your post

[stevedeshazer]

30. !!!

:rofl:

Bet you're right....

[timber84]

41. That's got to be the "i have sinned against you Lord" Moment.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. I think he will name names...including some Dems.

[AlCzervik]

16. how so? Like who he had sex with or who knew about his activities?

or something like "I'm not the only one in congress who does this""

[davidwparker]

46. *anybody* who has been doing this must be arrested and put on trial

[rodeodance]

12. Repugs spatting amongst themsels again.

[malaise]

15. Pictures found?

Wait until these reach Utube. :popcorn: :popcorn: Butter please!!! :rofl: :rofl: Now all we need are those new pix from Abu Gharaib.

[Catherine Vincent]

48. JC Watts made a slip about graphic pics too.

[rockymountaindem]

19. I have to go to class

Then I'll come back here and everything will be crazy, and I'll have to sift through 200 OMG!!! TURN ON THE TV NOW!!! threads. Oh well...

[malaise]

21. Tweety will carry the PC live n/t

[rockymountaindem]

28. Yeah, except I'll be in the most boring lecture of the week

with the prof who, according to the tally kept by my classmate, incorporated the expression "y'know" 108 times into one hour of lecturing. Which, y'know, would be kind of impressive if it weren't so, y'know, pathetic, y'know?

[malaise]

34. I'll miss it as well

Work calls.

[AlCzervik]

25. i have to leave here at 2:50pm and of course it will probably start late

[rodeodance]

24. is that Eastern TiME.........????????????????

[truthpusher]

33. yeppers

[timber84]

35. Attorney in Fla would assume that

[cynatnite]

27. What if the bombshell is a bad one...

something like Pelosi knew or that he and Howard Dean went cruising for boys together. :scared:

[seabeyond]

32. could be.... one never knows.

while on dem repug board i did say, this type of thing can happen to either side, any given moment... this we know from the past. will have to wait and see

[Bluebear]

36. Then Pelosi and Dean would have to go, too.

But let's wait and see what transpires. My sense is the GOP owns this one 100%.

[cynatnite]

40. Was panicking...feel better now

:)

[Bluebear]

42. XOXOXO

:hug:

[KyndCulture]

31. He's gonna out a dem as a child molestor I bet.

[timber84]

37. My two cents says he's pissed at all of his "friends" turning on him

not and It's payback time, or could be nothing. Maybe he will say that no one in the House leadership ever warned him.. could be anyting at this point.

[Liberal Veteran]

38. Kennedy, Clinton, and Pelosi forced him at gunpoint to hit on pages!

That'll be the bombshell.

[KyndCulture]

45. or they made the whole thing up.

[malaise]

43. You're gonna lose that bet n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

47. You sound like me last night

I had my paranoid hat on. :)

Here's my "I'm freakin' out" thread.

[MoonRiver]

44. Please start an official thread when it begins.

I've got company coming over and have to rush dinner. I want to be able to keep up with the latest though. :hi:
