Didn't Hastert contradict himself? Didn't he say he didn't hear a thing

[gully]

about Foley until ABC broke the news, and later say that he heard and acted upon the info? Perhaps I misunderstood his original denial?

[Monkeyman]

1. Yes nice Catch we heard it in person

www.john06.com

[gully]

2. Why didn't the media immediately point this out?

[Dr Fate]

3. Well, Democrats have the whole rest of the day to point it out. Will they?

??????????????

[gully]

8. Well if they are questioned on the matter, I'm certain they will.

I expect most were working and wont be privy until the am?

[Dr Fate]

10. Oh I see- our strategy is to sit around and wait to be asked to attack.

I've never heard of that strategy before in my entire life.

When in the past did we win a fight by politely waiting on the media to ask us about it?

Where did that strategy originate?

[gully]

11. Well your strategy is to attack the Democrats for not being on TV

all day everyday. You do it often.

And actually I have heard Democrats point it out, when he lied the first time.

[Dr Fate]

12. No-my strategy is to BEG them to get HIP to the echo chamber.

Are you really taking the position that Democrats should not be on TV-like NOW- inserting talking points into the echo chamber?

If so, what is your reasoning?

And if you have examples of DEMS on TV today as you seem to suggest- please- post it here:

YES- I do what you say- EVERY DAY- so what- I'll keep doing it until they correct the problem.

[gully]

13. You go ahead and argue with yourself.

[Dr Fate]

15. In other words, you have no examples and I am correct.

When you can stop attacking me and post some examples of DEMs attacking the GOP cover-up-on TV-where swingvoters see it- then you will have somthing.

[gully]

17. Bite me.

I don't have tivo or a way to post my "examples" every time you piss and moan.

[Dr Fate]

18. You dont need tivo- just the time, channel and maybe a paraphrase.

Remember- we are looking for examples from today- not from yesterdays news cycle... I say this because the Republicans did not just blame DEMs on TV yesterday- they did it yesterday & today.

[gully]

19. Oh so you need a daily democratic commentary on current events?

I gotcha. I guess they'll just have to stop showing up for work in the senate/congress to appease you.

[Dr Fate]

20. You either have the info or you dont. At this point you dont.

So far I have reports of 6 Democrats out of potentially hundreds who had the guts to go on TV and fight the spin and assert their own talking points into the echo chamber. I hope to see plenty more- despite all these excuses.

At work? Hey- I hold down a full time jobs plus law school at night- surely they can fit a few extra minutes into their schedule too. Normal Americans who are counting on these DEMS have to budget their work schedules too- cry me a river.

[gully]

21. I've seen Dems commenting on every program that discussed this

issue. Most were not members of congress/the senate though so I'm certain that doesn't count. :eyes:

[zbdent]

4. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, wait,

you're serious?

[gully]

6. Well not entirely

but they've been spending time on this scandal, and it appears they're "milking" it so why not add a twist?

[AtomicKitten]

5. Jon Stewart exposed Hastert's contradictions last night.

The Republics are tripping over themselves now and it is lots of fun to watch.

[gully]

7. Well he did it again today.

I'm sure it will take Stewart to do it again.

[AtomicKitten]

9. He and Colbert will have a cornucopia of material

before this mess is over.

[Dr Fate]

16. Great- at least the comedians are fighting for us on TV. n/t

n/t

[trof]

14. He parsed very finely.

As I've stated elesewhere here.
"Didn't learn of 'specific language' until Friday."
He (or, if you buy his further disclaimer 'his office') was told about the basic situation years ago.

[Disturbed]

22. He is as crappy of a liar as Ms. Rice, Busholini, Cheney and

a whole slew of Sociopathetic RWing Assholes.
