What is this implication that the page is scamming...at least, I think

[Skidmore]

that is what Wolfie was implying? Did I miss something? I just tuned in for the first time since morning.

1. he's probably referring to the BS drudge nonsense

[Skidmore]

2. I missed something. What Drudge thing?

[MrModerate]

3. Pages lying baldfaced for political advantage . . .

would have been a credible rumor for Drudge to spread. But a page-boy prank? Puh-leeze!

[Phredicles]

4. Wouldn't that have to mean a bunch of other pages were scamming, too?

I mean, I understand that at least some five others were at various times objects of the Honorable Rep. Foley's attentions.:scared:

6. So Foley resigned immediately.........

because of a "scam" or a "frat prank"? Is this what Sludge would have us believe? Sludge and his brain dead readers are as divorced from reality as the entire Bush Administration. What is WRONG with these people? :wtf: Why can't they live in the real world like the majority of Americans? Why must they create a separate reality where things are always going "swimmingly" and they're never mistaken?

I give up. It's mass delusion, mass mental illness. These people are fucking crazy! :silly:

5. Doesn't matter...

These idiots just need to fill air time with something other than the truth of what happened.

7. It's called "victim blaming"

The pages, once purehearted stalwarts of America's future, are now just another bunch of ungrateful rotten kids. Ignoring the fact that Foley ALWAYS made the initial sexual contact, the latest Rethug strategy is to portray this as a giant fraternity prank: The pages banded together and plotted to take advantage of Foley's "condition" by encouraging him to escalate the cybersexual contact with them. Their only mistake was in not springing their trap before the 2004 election, but they were probably convinced that there was no way Kerry could lose.

8. ...Because it's exactly the sort of thing these people would have done

if THEY'd been pages when they were young. Not that they would have been that civic-minded, then or now.
