1. I love watching them wallow in their own humiliation...
and I love watching their MSM apologists looking more ridiculous by the day.

2. I haven't laughed this much since, I don't know when!
And it's a joyous laughter cause I know the thugs are going down from the weight of their own corruption and perversion.

3. My shadenfreude and glee is tempered with sympathy for the victims
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 12:53 PM by IanDB1
What makes this even sadder, is that at least one of Foley's victims is still sticking by The RAPEpublican Party and working for Rep. Ernest Istook:

Istook aide may be victim in page scandal (McVeigh's lawyer, Foley's page)

I still have to admit that I do a little happy dance.

5. Well, of course. Whoever that creep victimized has my deepest sympathy
But it's the cover-up I'm really talking about.

8. Knock on wood.
But at this point I think we have more going for us than superstition. :kick:

13. Call the switchboard and ask for Hastert's office. And then...
... when you're connected to Hastert's office, tell them you had asked to be connected to Nancy Pelosi.

4. I gotta be honest... it's cheap, it's a guilty pleasure...
...and I'm wallowing in it like Foley at a Scout Jamboree.

unrepentantly,
Bright

7. I haven't watched the Cable News in years
But this week I've been visiting. CNN is all over it. MSNBC nice balance with the Wooward book. Fox is in a universe where it doesn't exist unless they cover the story by saying he's a Democrat. In fact they are thrilled about the Amish shooting so they can have some other story that doesn't have anything to do with scandals and lies of the * administration.

A teenage gay sex scandal for the Republicans in the October before an election? You can't write anything better. All we need is a dead prostitute it's such a cliche.

The idealist would rather there actual policies and circumvention of laws and the constitution would bring him down but I'll take a group of pedophile protectors to do it. As long as it happens.

9. Well they just keep making it worse and worse and worse
It's hard not to take a certain pleasure in watching them trip all over themselves. Somebody needs to remind them of the shovel rule - hey guys, stop digging!!

10. I'm not sure why I'm not enjoying it.
I've been waiting for the repubs to self-destruct for *so long* -- but over a sex-scandal! It's so anti-climactic (no pun intended there, either!).

It's depressing that Americans only seem to be able to pay attention to SEX, but oh, well, if it gets the bums out, great.

But I wish people would get as worked up about the 9000 other things the repubs have done.

11. The Republicans,
are having the most fun regarding this. While the whole Democratic party forgets EVERYTHING else that is going on, and instead focuses in on a "scandal" that will end up amounting to squat, the Republicans are loading the October cannons.

Pull the bar down now, because the ride is just about to get going.

12. This is a Karl Rove plot...
to distract us from serious issues like how there was no plane that flew into the Pentagon.

:rofl:

But no, seriously. The thing I like most about this is how it's all a bonus. We didn't know about any of this a week ago.

14. Put simply
There is nothing sweeter than watching hypocrites self-destruct. I'm loving it. :rofl: :popcorn:

15. Yes, there are far more serious issues that need attending to;
however, for a few days, I am going to enjoy watching these creeps drown in their hypocrisy. It's been a long wait.
