1. Well if the Media can rename it than we as private citizens should be
able to too. I'm renaming it the Foxbase Alpha Scandal.

Why should the media get all the fun?

2. Not so fast, repugs. I'll bet Brian Ross has more in his bag of tricks.
I don't think this is over by a long shot.

8. I agree
what made me google it was I noticed all of the news channels referring to it as an"e-mail scandal" this morning. It looks like a coordinated effort to make the whole thing seem like something it is not. It was filthy and vile cyber sex with a minor! :grr:

12. True, but they are tryin to hide the pig.
If dumb dumb Americans hear "e-mail scandal" they flip the channel to find something more exciting.
