GOP = Groping Old Pedos? More "shoes to drop" says news anchor...
ABC News: Pages ‘Sending All Sorts of Messages About Possible Other Members’

Tonight on ABC, investigative journalist Brian Ross suggested there may be other members of Congress who engaged in inappropriate behavior towards congressional pages:

BRIAN ROSS: So far, Foley is the only member whose overt sexual approaches have been documented. Charlie?

CHARLES GIBSON: The only one to be documented, but are there other shoes to drop?

ROSS: We’re hearing quite a bit from former pages. They’re sending us all sorts of messages about possible other members.

4. Sounds like Rove is spreading the wealth to the page community.
Nothing better to deflect the scandal than a couple of pages "getting caught" telling fibs.

5. All the crap the Ross has turned up in the last couple years.
I hope his loved ones are advising him not to get on small planes and avoid being alone etc.

7. I said this early on "there but for the grace...."
It would not surprise me at all if there were others and what if there are some despicable dems as well?

That is why I have been saying that we need to be outraged as Leadership and not Foley. Ifany congressman did this on Hastert's watch and Hastert had the slightest inckling about it the GOP will be in free fall.


THE ISSUE IS NOT FOLEY THE ISSUE IS BENIGN NEGLECT AND COVERUP.

11. "grace"
a gift horse from god, and people are checking the teeth... wwwffftttt

The religious fundamentalists are involved as well, and as well the state of florida,
this goes to the roots of the imperium, like a coal vein, a pervert vein can be traced
across the republicans like a hot virus... god put it there for a reason, and this whole
blessed coincidence, 1 month before the congressional elections, really, does anyone need
more proof that God is on our side. ;-)

9. In other words, they're looking for a Democrat pedophile
to bipartisanize the scandal, because if everyone is to blame, then nobody is to blame.

10. That was my first thought, too.
These "people" are absolutely despicable.

14. All it takes is one Democrat, and this whole thing is neutralized.
Go ahead... hypothetically and politically speaking, I don't care if there was a wild weekend orgy of 12 Republican Congressmen, 5 Republican Senators, half the President's cabinet, and John Negroponte with half a dozen underage male pages.

But all it takes is one Democrat... ONE SINGLE DEMOCRAT... and the narrative will magically turn into "both sides are guilty."

The media has never shown an ability to distinguish degrees or quantities of guilt.

God, I hope we're clean here.

15. Doesn't matter if we're clean or not. All that matters...
is that the charge sticks through the election...
