Was I the only person who watched CNN two days ago as Dana Bash stated that after a GOP conference call the Republicans were scurrying around trying to close all leaks and come up with a way to make this a democrat issue?
More after jump;
When Wolfe Blitzer questioned Dana on live TV about what was happing and what was discussed during the GOP conference call held to stem off the Foley scandal she was to the point in stating that the Republicans she talked to had referenced a fear that much more than the Foley situation had surfaced in fact more sexual activity had been uncovered and discussed and it was not Foley but it was a different GOP member.
My thanks to Kossack abw for digging out this from Lexis Nexis....Dana's exact words to Wolfe....
But Wolf, the anxiety here I can tell you is not going away. And one of the reasons for that, according to one Republican lawmaker I spoke to today, is because there is anxiety over rumors that they're hearing that there could be another congressman that could get caught up in a sex scandal. Now, we need to make it clear that we don't have independent verification of that. But this Republican lawmaker said that that is a main reason why the GOP jitters are continuing, because these rumors continue to fly, Wolf.
At that very moment Wolfe interupted with BREAKING STORY and reported the GOP staffer Fordham, had said he told Hassert's office about Foley more than two years ago...Then they came back to Dana and the partial smile that was on her face was gone as if someone had slapped the piss out of her for letting the cat out of the bag. Everything discussed on air after that was how the Dem's were holding back what they knew and the possiblilty that it was the left's October surprise.
Let's all get real here. I have seen the worst of American politics this past week when Karl Rove circled his wagons and began repeating 22 year old sex scandals and making the current situation null and void because SHIT HAPPENS!
The republicans have the on air journalists now doing their bidding by asking questions about 22 year old sex scandals as well as why Pelosi didn't want ex-Clinton cry baby ,Louie Freeh to come to the GOP rescue and sugar coat the scandal and take the emphases away from the leadership.
The real stink here is that since Daniel Webster first brought a Page to Washington DC this program has been instrumental in introducing government to youngsters. What we have seen since 1995 is that the whole group of boys in the program have been running and hiding from what the whole Page crew referred to as "FFF meaning The Fag From Florida."
It really looks like Foley was chasing pretty hard to me. And yet the rest of the republicans are pointing to the Democrats saying they held this back and waited when ABC and The Hill both said it was a republican staffer who first told the dirty deed.
Look.......there's more here than whats being reported and I beg the media to quit repeating the Republican crap and start being responsible and run down what Dana Bash had first stated after that GOP conference call.....That there was something else the republicans were even more worried about than Foley.......
If I lived in Washington DC I'd be knocking on some doors right now to find out just what the hell the real deal is...There's a story here thats getting totally lost. Karl Rove is again playing everyone and the dumbass inept media are drinking the cool-aid when there is a real story brewing as I write this. Dana almost had a scoop and let it slip out of her hands.
