<p>Mini, I’d want to know: how much did you know, and when did you know it? :)</p>
<p>Why do you blame Clinton for the complete failure of the UN</p>
<p>Golani, please… Don’t encourage him.</p>
<p>
Thank You.</p>
<p>whats that mean. I just find it odd that someone can hate America and its leader so much</p>
<p>To continue Golani’e thought</p>
<p>“I just find it odd that someone can hate America and its leader so much”
…and yet still live in the US and reap all the benefits and freedom that this country provides to its citizens.</p>
<p>I think the country and it’s people are great, which is why I think it is darn shame that its leaders, of both political parties, have such a consistent record of supporting terror and terrorist states around the world. (I know many Iranians who would say exactly the same thing.)</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s odd at all. In fact, I think it is essence of what being an American is supposed to be about.</p>
<p>I love my country. I’ve twice lived outside it and my love for it grew both times. But with this president I have to say my heart has been broken. It seems to me that someone who really hated America would have done just as he did after 9/11: ruin our reputation and deplete our treasure.
Every experience has its lessons, however. I have finally and irrevocably learned that we Americans are no different, no better, than citizens of any other country. And perhaps that makes some of this worth it.</p>
<p>““I just find it odd that someone can hate America and its leader so much””</p>
<p>I’m wondering how anyone can hate America so much that s/he doesn’t mind seeing it supporting torture, mass killing of children, and terrorist states, and won’t lift a hand to change it.</p>
<p>no well thats not true, from what ive read that uve written you make accusations with misleading “facts” to support them. You support Hezbolla, a terrorist orginization, you want Iraqis to kills as many soldiers as they can because that will help you further your twisted ideaology, Clinton is a mass murder, while Kofi Anan is a noble peace prize winner, you wish to see the destruction of the only democratic and free country in the middle east, although not by explicitly saying, but by supporting its enemies. You complain about the economic situation in our country, yet there is not a single real economist who would have reason to do this. You cry about how Bush’s tax cuts are causing such a defecit even though this government is brining in more revenue than it was before the tax cuts. You support Syria and Iran, yet you never stepped a foot in their and will never have the balls to do so</p>
<p>CNN breaking news: Foley checks into alcohol rehab.</p>
<p>Call me cynical, but I suspect that this is his ploy to avoid taking responsibility for sexually preying on minors. It also ticks me off that some people will think that what he did is normal or expected of people with alcohol problems.</p>
<p>As a person who worked in the alcohol rehab field, I want to emphasize that alcoholism doesn’t make someone into a sexual predator. Some people, however, who desire to engage in various sexually deviant or unlawful acts will drink in order to have an excuse to do those acts.</p>
<p>Some other people will falsely claim to have an alcohol problem in order to avoid the consequences of their unlawful acts.</p>
<p>"I disagree, Epistrophy. I can think of plenty of corrupt female politicians. "</p>
<p>We can start with Jeanine Stand-by-your-man Pirro here in NY.</p>
<p>“Allmusic, I obviously cannot say for sure not having spent any time along with Hillary or anyone of her ilk for that matter, but, from this distance, she appears clingy, desperate and very needy.”</p>
<p>Clingy? She’s not even in the same state with him half the time. They seem to enjoy each other’s company when they are together, but they don’t strike me as clingy at all.</p>
<p>White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, appearing on CNN said:</p>
<p>“I hate to tell but it’s not always pretty up there on Capitol Hill and there have been other scandals as you know that have been more than simply naughty emails.”</p>
<p>I’m curious as to how the messages got out since the parents were, apparently, adamant that they not be released. The trail of the blogger is interesting, too.</p>
<p>I do think it’s loathsome when people like Foley and Patrick Kennedy enter rehab as a way to whitewash their scandals.</p>
<p>Wow, so Phony Tony want’s to talk <em>about</em> the web of Abramoff scandals that include the White House?! Lead on, MacDuff!!!</p>
<p>ZM: divert attention by shooting the messenger. Check. See also, the NYT: incredulous cries of “they leaked!” to divert attention from the conclusions of the NIE.</p>
<p>The Dad, I didn’t divert anything. I simply expressed my curiosity. I really would like to know the back story, but that’s how my brain works.</p>
<p>Does your brain work that way when the story that is leaked is favorable to Republicans? Or only when it makes them look bad? Nice Kennedy tie-in, by the way. Divert! Divert!</p>
<p>“Does your brain work that way when the story that is leaked is favorable to Republicans? Or only when it makes them look bad? Nice Kennedy tie-in, by the way. Divert! Divert!”</p>
<p>What a disingenuous post! But that’s what you do. I didn’t bring up the rehab thing, I just pointed out how distasteful it ALWAYS is. And yes Kluge, if the scandal were in the other direction, I’d be curious. I’d love to know the source of the Pirro tapes as well. A good “mystery” is a good mystery, and the Foley one appears to be a humdinger. Never did I say anything to mitigate his conduct, did I? But when you’re foaming at the mouth it doesn’t matter, does it?</p>
<p>What makes Foley especially warped is his public stance on protecting children, using that in his campaign, and his fellow republicans knowing about it and going, well, naughty boy… that is the real back story…when did they know it</p>
<p>this is not a sex scandal, its an old guy going after minors scandal…apples and oranges</p>
<p>and seeing the house leadership saying, yes I told, no he didn’t, well, maybe I didn’t, no wait, yes I did, well, yes he did</p>
<p>lots of lying or “not” remembering going on there, that is what needs to be discussed, how ever the IMs got out there…aren’t you curious about that, why all the back peddling, changing of stories, etc about who knew what and when and what they did</p>
