I heard that a certain democrat legislator from Massachussetts is very protective of his interns. Just ask Barney Franks?

I hope the malignant narcissist Spitzer is prosecuted with the same zeal that he went after people with his bullshit failed cases.

There isn’t any; if it was THAT good, it sure as hell wouldn’t LAST for an hour…

Point taken. But you know I’m going to have fun at your expense, right?

It’s hard to take seriously a quote by a Democrat about “protecting young interns”.

Oh, snap! KG, I ought to make your comment the first ever “Commenter’s Quote of the Day”!

Still waiting for you to name ONE Democrat that was run out of town……….

Geez, this is getting tiresome…….

congressional conservatives protected Foley before the media found out:

- The office of then-Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) was told of Foley’s “worrisome conduct” three years before ABC exposed Foley’s explicit contact with pages.

- When Rep. Tom Reynolds (R-NY), then-chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Hastert of Foley’s inappropriate e-mails earlier in 2006, he presented it as something that “that might have affected campaigns” instead of something that needed to be addressed to protect the pages.

- Rather than address the issue in a bipartisan way that would have underscored a common desire to protect the young interns, the conservative chair of the House Page Board — Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) — refused to inform the Democrat on the committee — Rep. Dale Kildee (D-MI).

nice try, KG. Again, i am not defending spitzer’s, or any dem who has done wrong (jefferson)’s behavior or how it was handled, because frankly, and you can flame me all you want for it, but i didn’t really follow politics until i moved to DC. i am just calling you out on your statement that republicans take care of their trash right away because it isn’t true.

I just find it equally ridiculous that you (and jonathan) think republicans remove the trash from their ranks

Mark Foley
Tom Delay
Richard Nixon
I don’t have time to list them all for you…..

I’m still waiting for you to name ONE Democrat that was run out of town by the DNC following a scandal.

Someone on the radio said it best. Democrats love to scream hypocrisy when a Republican gets caught up in a scandal involving immorality. However, Republicans don’t have that same option because Democrats don’t operate under a code of morality to begin with, thus, there’s no hypocrisy on their part…it’s just business as usual.

It’s funny how the left wing defends their miscreants with, “Your guys do it too.” The topics at hand are:

1) Spitzer is a miscreant.
2) The press refuses to identify him with his political affiliation.

Is it possible for you to stay on topic or have you no feeble defense for this particular degenerate? Or, would you care to discuss how many stories about Spitzer have no mention of the fact that he’s a democrat?

I am not defending Spitzer, what he did was ridiculous, especially being best known for busting prostitution rings and crime and in such a high profile position. I just find it equally ridiculous that you (and jonathan) think republicans remove the trash from their ranks – there are several Rs under investigation right now, not to mention Craig and Vitter, one of whom pled guilty and the other admitted being involved in a DC prostitution ring. Both are still in office and no one is clamoring for Vitter to resign.

And jonathan, i was just trying to think of an alcoholic beverage that mixed well with pineapples (see KG’s original post), i wasn’t saying Malibu came from hawaii. I was just in japan and found out that no one is even importing pineapples from hawaii anymore, this chef at one restaurant told me all the best pineapples come from the philipines now. you don’t have to try and fight with me on every little word, do you?

This guy built his career on fighting crime and corruption, while he was engaging in the very actions that he was prosecuting others for. He put his wife, his State and the country in harms way and he needs to go!

Gerry Studds: never was removed from office for boinking a 17-year-old boy page.

Jack Murtha: ABSCAM.

Ted Kennedy: Chappaquiddick.

Robert Byrd: KKK, responsible for domestic terrorism against blacks.

Alan Molohan: Money laundering resulting from his seat on House Ways & Means. FBI getting involved.

Nancy Pelosi: violated House ethics rules for ties to Big Pharma.

Don’t know who Renzi or Doolittle are, and Craig’s Republican colleagues have begged him to leave. No one on the GOP side is defending Craig.

We could play “your side is and has been more corrupt than my side” all day long and get absolutely nowhere, but I think the point is clear: KG is right. By and large, the GOP take out their trash, while the Dems promote and protect theirs.

BTW, Malibu rum is Caribbean (Barbados, specifically), not Hawaiian (or do all Islanders look alike to you?). Nice try, though.

nice try though.
