Analyst suspects Foley contributed ‘bribes’ for cover-up
By: David @
An MSNBC segment examines if Rep. Foley made a large contribution to the Republican Party in exchange for silence about sexual messages that Foley sent to House pages. Foley gave $100,000 to the GOP Campaign Committee in July. The large contribution came at same time when Republican House leadership ignored Foley's emails.
MSNBC Political Analyst Craig Crawford is suspicious of Foley's donation. Crawford says, "It's part of a pattern on Capitol Hill where member raise money not just for their own campaigns, but to give money to others, to their colleagues. So that's kind of a common ...

President Bush signaled his support for Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) yesterday as the House Speaker fought to retain his gavel in the wake of an unfolding sex scandal. The White House’s support of Hastert is a stark contrast to the controversy that upended former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) when administration officials were working behind the scenes to promote Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.). Hastert and the president have worked closely together during Bush’s almost six years in the White House, and administration support is crucial for the Speaker to maintain his post in the face of criticism from various conservative activists. “I fully support Speaker ...

Foley's Lawyer: He's Gay, He Was Molested, He DrinksBy Paul Kiel - October 3, 2006, 6:36 PM Well, here's that "bombshell." At a press conference moments ago, Foley's lawyer David Roth announced that the lawmaker "asked" that the media be told that he was molested by a clergyman when between the ages of 13 and 15. It's part of the healing process, apparently. Roth added that "Mark explicitly reaffirms his responsibility and remorse" for his actions. Also, "Mark Foley wants you to know that he is a gay man."

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - When disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley announced he was entering rehab for treatment of alcoholism and ``other behavioral problems,'' some of those who have known him for years were shocked and suspicious. Some friends and acquaintances said they rarely saw him drink. A former colleague, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said on Fox News Channel: ``I don't buy this at all. I think this is a phony defense. The fact is, I think he's responsible for what he did here and I think it's a gimmick.'' Foley abruptly resigned from Congress after being accused of sending lurid Internet messages to teenage boys who served as pages on Capitol Hill. The FBI and Florida law ...

Bush in December 2002. I expected to leave a message on a machine, so I was caught a little offguard when Schoedinger answered. She, too, sounded somewhat surprised I had called, saying she hadn't heard from many other reporters. But she talked to me for a few minutes about the legal action.

The scandal involving Congressman Foley and a teenaged Capitol Hill page is nothing more than "naughty emails", says White Press Secretary Tony Snow. In the following video, Snow seems to be playing down the Foley scandal, telling reporters, "Yeah, look, I hate to tell you but it's not always pretty up there on Capitol Hill. There have been other scandals, as you know, that have been more than simply naughty emails." Snow's "naughty emails" remark occurs around 5:28 into the video.

Today a cop pulled me over and gave me a ticket for expired plates. No big deal, I'll just get them renewed tomorrow. She said, show the judge, he'll toss the ticket, no money involved. Darn if I couldn't find my insurance card, so she gave me a ticket for that. On this one she wrote $2000. Yes, two thousand dollars. When I asked her what they meant, she said she was required by law to write it, so I would know if I didn't show the judge my insurance card, the fine went to $2000. I know it's just a bluff, and a pretty transparent one, but exactly how do they think they would get anyone to pay that? A lot of people would leave the state.

As a schoolboy I read most of Carl Sandburg's six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln. Sandburg was a poet-performer, and I tended to skip his rhapsodic passages, thus missing some key points. Even so, I was sufficiently drawn to his Lincoln … well, to be precise, there is no Sandburg Lincoln, only a sort of grab bag of anecdotes, a do-it-yourself folklore Lincoln, using material that, with time's passage, has been more and more rejected by those scholar squirrels who are always in attendance upon the Lincoln brigade's stern academic icon-dusters. Eventually, I came to write my own Lincoln, dealing with the master politician as a counterbalance to the folksy figure so beloved of ...
