MSNBC anchwhore: repubs have turned the corner on foley scandal

[texasleo]

wtf?

Amy Robach and Mark Viqueira talking about how they are all united now and ready for the fight.

:eyes:

[spanone]

1. A fax from Karl Rove no doubt.

[terrya]

2. That's some desperate spin there.

You'd have to be living on "Fantasy Island" to believe that they've "turned the corner" on this.

[Warren DeMontague]

3. Oh, thanks for reporting that piece of "News", MSNBC.

If it's anything like the "corner" we keep "turning" in Iraq, tho, I'd say the GOP is well fucked.

[Avalux]

4. United on what, and a fight with whom?

They'd better hope their show of unity isn't disturbed by more information coming out. :rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

10. United in defense of seducing teens on the internet.

A fight with whomever wants to hassle pedophiles.

[goforit]

16. roflmao!!!! Repugs united, "YES we admit, we are all pedophilic perverts"

[meegbear]

Just like Iraq ...

PU-LEEZE!

[Marnieworld]

5. Wow. It only took a week.

Amazing. Just amazing.

The fun thing is the story will perpetuate on its own volition. They can spin it as they want but they can't escape that.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. not to worry. It's that same IraqNam corner they keep turning.

you realize that there are two directions you can take at any corner. Luckily, from experience we can safely state that the Bushistas will approach the corner, signal, promote, and promise, then still make the wrong turn.

[Vinca]

7. Except for one thing -

just a couple of days before the election, Foley gets out of rehab. Considering how much he enjoyed putting his slimey puss in front of the camera, he'll be holding a press conference in preparation for a future book release.

[Clinton Crusader]

8. think I saw a topic bar that said...

GOP rallies around Hastert, turns corner or something other BS....

[WilliamPitt]

9. Probably true

in terms of GOP unity. Yesterday they were stabbing each other in the back. Today, they're all on the same page. That is indeed a corner turned.

How the story itself continues to shake out, and what other revelations may be in the offing, is another matter.

We just saw a rare moment of GOP disorganization. Stuff like this almost never happens; these guys haven't taken the whole government by being prone to clusterfucking around. That disorganization has been solved...for now.

[Hugin]

22. Either that or the circular firing squad was effective...

in bringing them all down.

Eh, either way it's quiet.

[Chipper Chat]

11. CNN got the same fax. But waiting on Wolfie to break the news.

Fox, of course, doesnt need to receive it. Hannity has a direct line to Rovey-babe.

[rodeodance]

12. This started on the eve. news when the host asked "Has the Damage been

Controlled?"

yes, was the answer----Hasturd stood up and accepted responsiblility.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. GREAT NEWS!

The Republic leadership is going to stand as one to protect their child molestation coverup!

Excellent.

[mikeytherat]

14. It's true; Repubs have turned the corner...four times.

They are now right back where they started. Expect them to do this again, and again, and again.

mikey_the_rat

[GainesT1958]

15. Yeah--but "united" on what, exactly?

That Denny's a great guy and super speaker?
That they were right in asking Foley to run for re-election once they knew?
That only they can protect the country from "terra-ists"--when they can't even protect 16-year-old pages from on-line sex predators?
That they've done such a great job at passing useful legislation?

Personally, I hope they're united on ALL of those things; because if they are, we're looking at potentially 30-40 new Democratic seats in next year's House!

Impeachment articles, anyone? :eyes:

B-)

[Virginia Dare]

17. Until the next dirt bomb gets dropped....

and it will.

[GetTheRightVote]

18. It will continue to look like a cover up by American Public no surprises

repubs covering up for one another again, wow.

Public still will not like their children getting approach by this sick man with repubs hiding him out of sight.

:kick:

[Marr]

19. I think that Viqueira guy is on the payroll. Last week he was repeating

GOP spin word for word.

[texasleo]

20. sounded like it

[ProgressiveEconomist]

21. Just wait till Monday, when the Ethics Subcommittee is supposed to report

Then we'll see what Nancy Pelosi has up her sleeve to keep this coverup story alive, and to get out the Democratic campaign message on other issues.

Pelosi could demand open hearings to untangle Hastard's long series of contradictory statements about what he knew and when!

The beautiful part of this is that Foley's resignation removes him from the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee. When the Ethics Committee becomes the main vehicle for carrying the story forward, it will be all about the Republican leaders' coverup, and not about Foley.

Drip, drip, drip.
