Will this Foley/Hastert scandal kill the sanctimonious attitude re Clinton

[Lex]

and Monica? This pales by comparison in so many ways anyway.

But it seems to me it might be a bit of a stretch for the Repukes and their sheeple to continue to stay on their high horse about Clinton and Monica now.

:shrug:

1. Well, going by the repuke callers on cspan the past few days,

they think what Clinton did with Monica was worse. They continue to bring it up. One idiot inferred that Monica was only 16. :eyes:

[Hugin]

14. Yeah, the comparison was covered on NPR this morning also...

A crowning moment of stupidity.

[Fresh_Start]

2. unfortunately not unless there was phyical contact made

freepers don't see it as an issue because it was pseudo-sex-abuse, not real sex.

[Debi]

10. Even though Foley was one who wanted to put stricter protections

on the internet for kids who had sexual predators proposition them? :eyes:

[stopbush]

3. Never. eom

[laylah]

4. Not a chance in hell. n/t

[crim son]

5. Nope. You've probably read/heard that comparisons

are desperately being made between Clinton's Lewinsky and Foley's page. I thought it was hilarious that Hannity tried to bring up something that happened in 1983 as a means of making Mr. Catheter's cybersex look like business as usual.

[Pacifist Patriot]

6. Not if Hannity is any yardstick. In fact, he's...

already reduced her from 22 to 19 at the time.

7. They invented the high horse

and after the dust settles will not remember who Foley was. Remember first and foremost, the sheeple do not think!

[Lex]

8. Well, at least the Dems will have something to shake back in their faces

even if they have twisted around in their small little brains that it was perfectly okay for Foley to hit on pages and have cyber-sex with them, etc.

[peace13]

9. We can hope!

[MrCoffee]

11. oh lordy no...

I don't fixate on my own genitals the way they fixate on the Big Dawg's.

[TankLV]

12. Surely you jest. Even NOW they are making the comparisons...

They don't even know the concept of hypocricy...

[BootinUp]

15. They have to make them now, they are in defense mode

It will be different when it calms down again, in that they will be glad for a break from defending on this and avoid raising the issue. For how long is hard to say of course. See how Harold Ford handled it this morning:

13. No doubt it will tend to calm their instinct

to bring up sex scandals of any kind for at least the 5 years.

[sarge43]

16. No, they need Clinton

As Voltaire said about God, if he didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him. They cannot take responsibility for their actions, so blame Clinton. I won't be surprised that when this Repug nightmare is finally over and they're whining and moaning amid the wreckage, they'll blame Clinton for allowing them to take power in the first place.

:popcorn:

[GreenTea]

17. You still believe repugs are fair mined, and think for themselves?

[Lex]

18. No, but that's not the point. The point is that they know we have

something to shake back in their faces when they get on their high horse about Clinton.

I don't expect their learning curve to be too good on this however, but at least the Repukes have a sex scandal in their own column now. I, for one, will not hesitate to mention it when they start whining about Clinton and Monica.

[aquart]

19. No.

If Monica hadn't given Clinton blowjobs, none of this would be happening. It's all Clinton's fault.

[Lex]

20. Including global warming too. nt
