Scandal May Further Alienate Republican Base Party's Handling of Foley Riles Up Voters Frustrated By Immigration, Spending The Wall Street Journal By JACKIE CALMES October 3, 2006; Page A4 WASHINGTON -- As the scandal over former Rep. Mark Foley has expanded to entwine Republican leaders who knew of his emails to underage male House pages but took little action, the party has new reason to worry about two key constituencies: Christian conservatives and suburban soccer moms. Long before the disclosure of the unduly personal Foley emails and separate, sexually explicit instant messages last week, and the six-term Florida Republican's sudden resignation, his colleagues were fretful that ...

Three More Former Pages Accuse Foley of Online Sexual Approaches October 05, 2006 5:20 PM Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz & Maddy Sauer Report: Three more former congressional pages have come forward to reveal what they call "sexual approaches" over the Internet from former Congressman Mark Foley. The pages served in the classes of 1998, 2000 and 2002. They independently approached ABC News after the Foley resignation through the Brian Ross & the Investigative Team's tip line on http://ABCNews.com. None wanted their names used because of the sensitive nature of the communications. "I was seventeen years old and just returned to [my home state] when Foley began to ...

Newt Gingrich: Left Has 'Stench of Hypocrisy' Newsmax October 5, 2006 Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that Democratic sex scandals have been far worse than the suggestive Internet messages sent to teenage congressional pages by former Rep. Mark Foley. Gingrich said Democrats have wanted to punish their offenders less than the GOP. "What we don't have to do is allow our friends on the left to lecture us on morality," Gingrich said at a party fundraiser in Greenville. "There's a certain stench of hypocrisy." Foley abruptly resigned Friday after being accused of sending salacious Internet messages to teenage boys who served as pages on Capitol Hill. ...

October 5, 2006 -- Pagegate. Heard from the Washington "grapevine." The GOP spin machine will try and keep the focus in Pagegate on Mark Foley and off of his congressional enablers. The effort at "containment" will fail. There are more revelations to follow. The scandal waves are lapping at the doors of the US Senate, Republican National Committee, and Florida administration of Jeb Bush and Attorney General (and gubernatorial candidate) Charlie Crist. Certain Florida-based conservative media commentators may also be caught up in the scandal. BREAKING. A well-placed source has told WMR that the Pagegate scandal will soon involve underage male and female teens who have ...

Internal Poll Suggests Hastert Could Devastate GOP Thursday, October 05, 2006 WASHINGTON — House Republican candidates will suffer massive losses if House Speaker Dennis Hastert remains speaker until Election Day, according to internal polling data from a prominent GOP pollster, FOX News has learned. "The data suggests Americans have bailed on the speaker," a Republican source briefed on the polling data told FOX News. "And the difference could be between a 20-seat loss and 50-seat loss." Most GOP lawmakers have stood by Hastert, pending a full airing of the facts in his handling of the Mark Foley affair, in which the former Florida representative was caught ...

Former Staffer Says He Alerted Hastert's Office A longtime chief of staff to disgraced former representative Mark Foley (R-Fla.) approached House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's office three years ago, repeatedly imploring senior Republicans to help stop Foley's advances toward teenage male pages, the staff member said yesterday. The account by Kirk Fordham, who resigned yesterday from his job with another senior lawmaker, pushed back to 2003 or earlier the time when Hastert's staff reportedly became aware of Foley's questionable behavior concerning teenagers working on Capitol Hill. It raised new questions about Hastert's assertions that senior GOP leaders were aware only of ...

Denny Hastert is smack in the middle of one of the tawdriest and ugliest sex scandals in American political history. As a result, he has been the target of aggressive criticism, even from a few members of his own party, and, by all accounts, is desperately battling to keep his job. In need of moral absolution and support from a respected and admired figure who possesses moral authority among Hastert's morally upstanding Republican base, to whom does Hastert turn? A priest or respected reverend? An older wise political statesman with a reputation for integrity and dignity? No, there is only one person with sufficient moral credibility among the increasingly uncomfortable moralistic ...

Clerk asked to look into report of Foley incident at page's dorm By Larry Wheeler Florida Today WASHINGTON — A senior House Republican has asked the House clerk to look into allegations that then-Rep. Mark Foley was turned away from the congressional page dorm on Capitol Hill after arriving there intoxicated one night. Lawmakers have been talking about the alleged incident since Friday, when Foley resigned amid reports he sent sexually explicit Intenet e-mails to a House page. U.S. Rep. Deborah Pryce, R-Ohio, is calling for a further investigation of the dorm report. “Congresswoman Pryce contacted the clerk and asked her to look into this rumor,” said Geoff Embler, a ...

Conservative icon Richard Viguerie calls on House Republican leadership to resign by John in DC - 10/04/2006 12:06:00 PM Richard Viguerie is one of the founders of the conservative movement. It doesn't get any bigger than this, short of Ronald Reagan speaking out from the afterlife. I just received an email from Viguerie to his email list, to which I subscribe. The email is entitled: "Viguerie Calls for Immediate Resignation of House GOP Leaders" These are the high points. 1. Calls GOP leadership "enablers" to Foley's offense. Viguerie stated that any public official who takes advantage of a page or intern – someone to whom they are “in loco ...

It must be hard being Benjamin Shapiro. Standing in front of a full-length mirror in a jockstrap, making tuff faces, wondering why you're 21 and have twelvish biceps, being puzzled over why the babes don't swoon over your bitchin' violin playing...and then every damned time, without fail, your shriveled pair makes your strap plop down around your ankles. Honestly, what's a boy to do? Dry your eyes, I suppose, gaze with admiration and longing upon your Alexander poster of a buff Brad Pitt, hitch up a pair of tighty-whities (the ones with the special "Frank 'n' Beans" codpiece designed to avoid those embarassing and sometimes not-so-surreptitious public glances), slip your feet ...
The Anti-American, Anti-Christian Philip Roth

I don't know how the churlish and ignoble Philip Roth remains upright, the way his moral compass is spinning so madly. The author, who made his name with the more-than-a-little-semi-pornographic Portnoy's Complaint, which titillated a 12-year-old me and my classmates so much the teacher confiscated the book, has now with his current novel, The Plot Against America, used this farrago of vitriol to spin himself right into a place where good is evil, and evil, good. I'll wager that George Orwell would have seen Roth's book as an example of Lies are Truth, Ignorance is Strength and War is Peace (and in Roth's case, Cowardice is Bravery). The novel is odious, libelous and just plain disgusting ...

THE MYTH OF MORAL SUPERIORITY IS SHATTERED: First, congratulations to Washington Monthly for their timely and useful new blog. Paul Glastris has been kind enough to offer me some occasional real estate, and I intend to make the most of it until he comes to his senses. Let’s begin with the biggest story of the week. But what is it? Is it that Jack Abramoff showered Bush aides with gifts, perhaps illegally, and that they in turn gave Abramoff insider info? Is it that the Bushies were (once again) caught lying about how close Abramoff was to Team W? In the sweep of history, no doubt, the biggest story is Iraq. And Bob Woodward’s latest blockbuster: that Pres. Bush and his fellow ...
The Foley Spin Award Goes to Limbaugh... Likens Alleged Pedophile to the Pope...Will Catholics Respond To El Rushbo's Heresy?

It was no surprise that the Right would muster a neck-breaking spin on the ex-Senator Mark Foley (R, Fla) bombshell. What was amazing was how sloppy and feeble it was. Brit Hume likened it to Barney Frank. Newt Gingrich said revealing the e-mails earler would have made it seem like "gay-bashing." They all likened it to Clinton. But, hands down, the award for the most idiotic and insidious was the Monster of the Talk Midway, Rush Limbaugh. Not that I listened to much of his show, but I tuned in just in time to hear the best (worst?) the Right had to offer. This morning, El Rushbo retired the "Unfreaking Believable Excrement Spewing" trophy. Limbaugh actually said ...

I know Mark Foley. Mark Foley is a friend of mine. But in all my years working with him in Congress and on TV, I could have never foreseen the sleazy events that brought about his fall from power. Mark and I entered Congress together in 1994 and spent the next four terms working together on legislation and political campaigns. Rumors about Mark’s homosexuality followed him from his first day on the Hill, and I even discussed the issue with him before he launched his Senate campaign in 2003. Though I had never broached the subject out of deference to him, I just wanted Mark to know it would come up and warn him that he had better have a response ready. I also told him not to be ...

If ever there was a week that the brown stuff hit the political fan, last week was a doozy. If it could have happened, it did. Even Tony Snow’s formidable spinmeister skills were no doubt taxed as heavily as a middle-class worker. First there was that pesky NIE leak. Next we found out that surprise, surprise, it seems that Jack Abramoff was in contact with the White House more than a few times, hundreds of times as it turns out. And then wouldn’t you know it, a couple of those heinous whistleblowers piped up to mention that Diebold secretly patched voting machines in Georgia. To top it all off, the Congress then not only voted almost unanimously to piss billions more of our ...

Some Say Party Could Lose House and Senate Republican strategists said yesterday that public revulsion over the sexually graphic online conversations between Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) and former House pages could compound the party's problems enough to tip the House to the Democrats in November -- and could jeopardize the party's hold on the Senate as well. As House GOP leaders defended their role in handling revelations that forced Foley on Friday to give up his House seat, party strategists said the scandal threatens to depress turnout among Christian conservatives and could hamper efforts to convince undecided and swing voters that Republicans deserve to remain in the majority. There ...
