That's right, it's petty, insignificant bullsit, certainly at this point. Come on, Lindsay, there's more important stuff going on, far more important, behind this smoke and mirror sex intrigue/crap. Let these guys be held accountable and let's stop the armageddon on schedule for Iran, and whatever else we're being "had" on.

What I want to know, maybe because I'm bored, is how many of these pages have been, uh, paging EACH OTHER - on the Floor, in the offices, in the orifices, whatever. This whole Foley/Hastert et al thing is a massive smokescreen for deviant teen indisrections of the highest order. It's treasonous!

So how about those Yankees?

that there's a VERY widespread "homosexual cabal" or whatever language you want, not to sound demeaning. It goes out to Frist, and others. I'm listening to this on Webster Tarpley's show on RBNlive.

All this makes perfect sense, though everyone's aghast. It makes sense simply because it's the shadow come alive in gruesome contortions - the 'shadow' of moralism and sexual prudishness and denial, fundy or not. This is sick but kinda fun to see.

Hastert lives with his 'aide'

Isn't it weird that a grown man, with money, and powerful job live with another man as a roommate (who is his 'aide')? Its alleged that when Mrs.Hastert comes to Washington that she stays at a hotel. Odd isn't it?

First, of all let's be literate. "Ass" is a donkey. Surely a professional journalist can spell and use the word "buttocks," if that's indeed what s/he means. That also goes for other profanity. Second, this may be a titillating story (and it is) but the real story is that the entrenched culture of Congress apparently allows grown men to grope young boys in public.
