they do a good job of protecting their own... you have to admit... too bad those being protected don't deserve it...

Mark Foley... he was that Reprehensible that liked young interns, right? What sort of Family Values are those? Do the republicans still CLAIM to be the Party of Family Values? Or has all their dastardly deeds done them in?

not quite ALL of them, Angel... close... but not all...

Then could one of you Kool-Aid Kids tell me why Justice Departmant aide Monica Goodling is going to take the Fifth Amendment rather than testify?

Somebody's scared spitless of committing perjury, methinks...
Not sure if that will stand up... if there was no wrong doing as the right suggests, what jeopardy would she be in for telling the truth? If there IS wrongdoing, then I believe the Senate could give her immunity to testify...

Either way, I think the state that issued her license to practice law should also have a hearing... and pull it.

If so, I've got a hot flash for you. WorldNetDaily, a news-gathering site for hysterical wingtard rod swallowers of the far right, has put up an article--a WND exclusive, mind you!--accusing him of covering up the serial sexual abuse of minor boys at the Texas Youth Commission.

Sweet suffering succotash. He is now toast. Officially.

And if he ever had any chance to land on his feet and dance off into the private sector at an obscenely huge salary, it's gone now.

I'll bet this is just about the least fun ol' Gonzo has EVER had...and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy!


I wonder if the right will be discrediting one of their favorite "news sources" about this?

they should also pull fredo's license to practice law, too... maybe he could become a janitor or a landscaper...

You misunderstand; Republicans are for a variety of news sources, unlike their Democrat counterparts who seek to silence the opposition.

Because her words can be twisted to the will of rabid left wing attorneys and she can be brought up on charges for not remembering the entirity of a conversation 10yrs ago.
