2. Wonder what the first word's out of the fat shit's mouth will be?

[JuniperLea]

4. An excuse... eom

[MoonRiver]

3. Think I heard it has been delayed.

Oh, to be a fly...! :D

[peekaloo]

7. Ladies and Gentlemen: The Speaker of the Louse.

*waiting*

[malaise]

8. Scarborough says they are

now taking instructions from Rove and will attack and blame the Dems. We shall see.

[TygrBright]

14. Whoa! Ya THINK? Who'd-a predicted THAT bombshell?!? n/t

[BuyingThyme]

9. That podium looks fantastic!

[LSK]

10. CSPAN1? CSPAN2?

[MoonRiver]

13. Haven't heard if it will be on any C-SPAN.

MSNBC and CNN definitely.

[LSK]

17. CSPAN has it

[BelgianMadCow]

38. yes CSPAN 2

http://www.c-span.org/watch/cspan2_rm.asp?Cat=TV&Code=CS2

real stream

[Catherine Vincent]

11. There's also another press conference they're waiting on.

I think it's the Ethics Committee.

[sabra]

12. MSNBC is reporting no resignation by Hastert

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x2546778

[uppityperson]

15. think they said cspan2 since snowjobwhining is done

[kentuck]

16. Turn the heat down! The pot is boiling over!

Whew!

[kentuck]

18. Louis Freeh will investigate...

Hastert will announce, according to C-SPAN. He did such a good job on Clinton - he should do great with Foley cover-up.

[ryanus]

20. What? It's not Kissinger?

I guess we need a Page Scandal Whitewash Commission. Those "independent" commissions always do such a good job.

[LizW]

19. kick

[goclark]

21. Recommend for Greatest

[Roxy66]

22. Hastert just leaving his house...

press conference in 30 min

[The Witch]

23. DENNY CAM on CNN

:eyes:

Following the SUV like it's a white Ford bronco....

[Roxy66]

24. Ethics Committee....what a joke!!

[MoonRiver]

25. Covering up the cover-up

What a bunch of revolting, hypocritical, lying scum. :puke:

[Coexist]

26. "we are looking at WEEKS, not MONTHS"

right.

[librechik]

28. all they need is 5 to protect their asses n/t

[LSK]

27. we are looking at weeks, not months

[Coexist]

29. 4 DOZEN SUBPOENAS?!

That seems like a lot to me. Am I wrong?

[goclark]

31. Where is Fat Denny?

[zonkers]

34. At Denny's?

[MoonRiver]

35. They keep showing him leaving his house.

But his ass is so big, it takes a lot of time to cover it all.

[pecwae]

37. You're right according to CNN. nt

[pecwae]

30. Vamping until Denny shows? nt

[MoonRiver]

32. Why aren't they meeting instead of doing press conferences?

Obviously investigating perverts in Congress isn't as important as spinning for political gain.

[pecwae]

33. Didn't they just meet?

It obviously would have been w/o the Fat Man. I may be wrong.

[pecwae]

36. We're investigating this affair

without a specific target.:think:

[LSK]

39. CSPAN - callers

:popcorn:

[pecwae]

40. At least they got Foley-R right.

Repub says she's so ashamed of her party. Conerned because she has a 9 yo son.

[BelgianMadCow]

41. Later - some moron is trying to argue privacy in this matter

go figure.

Illegal wiretapping yessirrebawb. predatory IM's? Privacy!!

[pecwae]

42. Ind. says if this had been Dem

he would have been crucified on the floor.

[pecwae]

44. Proud Repub

says she's not angry with poor Mr. Foley. Mr. Foley needs compassion.

[spuddonna]

46. She should put that crack pipe down and walk away...

Holy moley! What is wrong with these people?! She's a "values voter". "He's done a great job..."

:puke:

[LSK]

45. 1st Kool-aid drinker

"I think we should support Foley and President Bush because they have done a good job"

[pecwae]

49. Dems says scary part

is the Repub voters will continue to vote the same way. This won't have any effect on them.

[LSK]

50. some of them maybe

But this is waking up some of those Soccer moms who are isolated from war and economy.

[pecwae]

51. Repub. from TN

proud to be Repub...at least Bush isn't in WH having oral sex. Dems support abortion and gay marriage.:puke:

Guy sounded like he had a mouthful of snuff.

[spuddonna]

53. LMAO! He called but didn't know what they were talking about!

How do you just pick up the phone to participate but not know what is going on? Insane...

[pecwae]

55. Repub says much to do

about nothing...harping on a no issue...Foley didn't even touch the kid....pages were in other states when emails made...ever time Repubs get something done Dems jump down Repubs throats

[MoonRiver]

43. I'm really starting to wonder why Hasturd isn't making his appearance.

I think his House minions are trying to shove him in front of the camera kicking and screaming.

[pecwae]

47. Hope they got a crane. nt

[Binka]

52. He Is Being Pressured Big Time My Guess

Some dude on Faux said internal numbers for Pukes look really BAAAADDDD if Denny stays as speaker. As in they could lose 50 House seats opposed to 20 if he resigns. Denny is feeling the heat but he still isn't leaving the kitchen. Hes probably eaten 20 brats already!

[blogslut]

48. CNN sez

It will take Hastert less than five minutes to step up to the podium. I'm sure they meant no offense :)

[npincus]

54. Jeez, all these posts, 6 recs, and no Fat Bastard

[blogslut]

56. CNN sez: Denny may be late again

I guess those podium steps are just too high. :(

[DoYouEverWonder]

60. Looks like he changed his mind about naming Freeh

Bwaaa!

[JFN1]

57. Poor Pat Buchanan

Did you hear Buchanan complaining about the press coverage? He said, "President Bush had a signing yesterday and nobody knew it, because it's Foley, Foley, Foley, all the time."

Well, WAH!!!!!

Remember when Clinton was being impeached? Pat and his Republican friends didn't bitch about it being "Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, all the time!"

Hypocrite crybabies...

[pecwae]

58. Fat Man has pulled up. nt

[blogslut]

59. Statement of Ethics Committee by Hastert

Go team

[DoYouEverWonder]

61. On Now

n/t

[malaise]

That was horrible

Questions now.

[DoYouEverWonder]

87. What an asshole

He's appalling.

[blogslut]

62. Denny!

I'm deeply sorry this has happened...the buck stops here

[SeveneightyWhoa]

63. "The fuck stops here."

That's what I just heard Hastert say, I swear..

These people have no shame. SICK! ;)

[blogslut]

64. We dealt with it immediately

when we found out about the IMs....(not the email or the original complaints from last year)

[MoonRiver]

66. Definition of "immediately" please.

:rofl:

[DoYouEverWonder]

65. A friggin' tip number

They've got to be kidding.

[spuddonna]

67. Look at the framing on this: A cheering throng to greet Denny...

Wow... just wow...

[pecwae]

68. Jeezus!

Soros brought up again!

[blogslut]

69. If you can't hear reporters on CNN

switch to CSPAN 2

[soup]

75. on CSPAN here.

thanks for the heads up.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

84. Thank you - I can't hear the questions on CNN - What's that all about?

Another Republican ploy?

[MoonRiver]

70. "I only know what I've seen in the press and what I've heard."

I IS STUPID. REELECT ME.

[Cameron27]

71. Press wants a timeline of Hastart's involvement

[pecwae]

72. I first learned last Friday

that's the first time I learned of explicit language...I don't know who knew what when...people leaked it to the press.

[bigbrother05]

97. but then he said it was about Katrina, he lied big time

[blogslut]

73. Q: What did you know and when did you know it?

DENNY: I said this last Friday. That's the first time I heard the IMs. I don't know who know what and when. Who leaked. We want investigations.

[Laurab]

99. "Who leaked. We want investigations"

I bet they do, and not for any moral reasons, either - they want to know who caused them all this trouble. That's the only time the repukes seem to want investigations - when something hurts their party. Pedophiles are ok, it's the LEAKERS who are the problem.

[spuddonna]

74. He first heard of this last Friday?!!!

BULLSHIT!!!! OMG...

[drmom]

76. That was nothing! I can't imagine anyone, on either side being satisfied

Did he say anything new? Yes, we know they are sorry. (That this came to light!)

[blogslut]

77. Q: How were the emails characterized

...in your experience as a former teacher and coach?

[blogslut]

78. We did nothing

He just said it. They got the emails and did nothing.

And Fordham is a f*cking liar!

[spanone]

79. They are sticking to THIER LIE.The balls of these fuckers.

Everyone else is lying. God damn them.

[Subdivisions]

80. So all we have is re-hashed bullshit and nothing new? Not even

an announcement that he won't seek the Speaker's seat? So what the hell is this presser for?

[MoonRiver]

82. Now trying to deflect to the economy, which is FLAT.

:eyes:

[soup]

83. Turning into a campaign speech.

[brook]

89. A voice from the crowd...

"Mr. Speaker! This is not a good story. Where's the accountability?"

Right on!

[blogslut]

81. No, No Regrets

No, I will have no regrets...sing sing sing

[blogslut]

85. Where is the accountability!

Anyone hear that? That's the question

[Grateful for Hope]

86. "Where is the Accountability?"

Great question.

[LSK]

the Dems have NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS

FUCKER!!!

:grr:

[MoonRiver]

88. CUT AND RUN! Reporter: "WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY?"

Hasturd is definitely toast. He didn't address anything.

[spuddonna]

90. Wow, what gall...

So, this big press conference is to hand out a tip number?! FBI is investigating...

They did nothing wrong... He told Foley to "not do it again"...

Sticks to the lie that he only knew on Friday...

Insane...

[Subdivisions]

91. OUT-FUCKING-RAGEOUS!!! HE BLAMED DEMS FOR POLITICAL

SHENANIGANS!!!

[Cha]

93. I would say it's way past time to

take the fucking gloves off. Harold Ford and Patty Wetterling have started it off.

[Subdivisions]

92. MSM jumping right behind the big fat bastard!!! Fucking child molesters!

[Cameron27]

94. Tweety doesn't seem to be buying it.

The bigot Buchanan did a complete 180 though.

[npincus]

95. Good one! This will drag on.. and on... and on....

[partylessinOhio]

96. We've been "Roved!"

[BelgianMadCow]

98. on which C-span did y'all get this on the web?

I'm seeing a sterile debate on C-span 2. 1 says nothing on, three has history channel ?? WTF, am I being "editioned" here...
