A boob thread for Friday?

Democrat scandals will not be televised.

Do they exist? Why, yes. They do.

Democrats can do no harm.

/

No, they don't, because Democrats can do no wrong. Just ask them./

All you have to do is look at the media coverage of the story. Outside ABC News, which broke the story, it's barely visible.

Compare with Foley's mess two years ago. It's no contest.

Bias? What bias?

I've seen pictures of his squeeze. I can totally see throwing away an entire career for a roll in the hay with her.

/

re: #3 MrSilverDragon

Do they exist? Why, yes. They do.

I forgot to append...

Do they get reported by the MSM? Why, no. They don't.

Sex scandals are only for Republicans because then it's hypocrisy. When Democrats do it, they are just being true to their nature. It's not hard to figure out.

This is utterly repulsive. Makes me wanna' hop back in the shower and scrub my body with a can of Comet. And, a mental sand-blaster for my poor mind.

Chandra Levy could not be reached for comment.

re: #7 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

I've seen pictures of his squeeze. I can totally see throwing away an entire career for a roll in the hay with her.

Which squeeze? I hear he has a couple of them.

Nothing that Foley did is as bad as Mahoney. You guys don't know half of the Mahoney crap. The local newspapers nor the RNP did anything to tell the locals about him.

re: #12 musicman

Which squeeze? I hear he has a couple of them.

Of course, he was a catch.

This has the making of dem sec scandal!

They are only scandals if republicans are involved, Republicans, (decent people) have higher standards for themselves and those with whom they associate.

gwG

I'll say it again, this bothers us, but in general, this is not an issue toa large segment of America. I know many conservatives that would place this in the "big deal" pile.

Times, they are a changin' (Boy, I can't stand Dylan)

The woman is not good looking. I say it reflects on Mahoney's judgement.
If your going to risk your career,(and im my case a couple of other things) you might as well make sure she is worth the risk. Otherwise, your arrogance is second only to your stupidity.

/Yes Sarah, you would be worth it:)

re: #11 Taqiyyotomist

Not funny

Democrats NEVER admit a mistake of any kind. They never resign. They pretend nothing ever happened and deny, deny, deny.

Reminds me of that old movie, "Guide for the Married Man", get caught cheating, just deny, deny, deny even if the evidence is getting dressed in front of you.

So, I'm still watching "Brazil". I don't get it. Oh well.

I bet the previous story gets wider play than this.

bbl

Mein Gott, he is accused of behaving like a Democrat! Who'd have thunk it? At least he didn't snuff this one. Some Democrats haven't been so magnanimous.

Although she sat next to him when he "apologized," Mahoney's wife filed for divorce.

re: #21 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Still running, still in office.

Yep. Most Ethical Congress Ever.
Good call, Pelosi.

That was sardonic, not an attempt to garner laughs, Creeping. Do we need a /sard tag?

Do whatever feels good at the time, no regrets, no responsibility, no consequences.

Democrats don't have scandals, can't with the above morals.

Only the vast right wing conspiracy making mountains out of mole hills.

re: #26 doppelganglander

It's business related, not sex stuff.

For Dems there is no such thing as bad press.

re: #2 WrathofG-d

Democrat scandals will not be televised.

I hate to have to play the contrarian again - but Eliot Spitzer learned different.

This story has all the elements of the Eliot Spitzer story. The MSM will not be able to resist.

(I can dream, can't I?)

re: #27 van helsing

Worse, the Donks will probably expand their control of the House and Senate this election. No matter who wins the Presidency.

re: #23 Iron Fist

e.g. one G. Condit.

re: #13 dolfan

Life experience tells me behavior like Mahoney's does not all of a sudden start later in life.

re: #34 Taqiyyotomist

I was thinking of the Kennedy brothers. All three of them.

Mahoney is such a scumbag, the Democrats have withdrawn all support, the Palm Beach Post rescinded its endorsement, and he went from fresh-faced Democrat in the new majority, to a one-and-done Congressman. Even the folks at Kos can't stand him.

Good riddance.

Patricia Allen was a willing participant. Why does she demand more money?
This is another pseudo Edwards/Riley issue.
Why is divorce so unthinkable to these guys careers? If they want to play the field, then go ahead, just end one relationship legally before they ruin their family's and wives lives!

re: #15 filetandrelease

This has the making of dem sec scandal!

Geez, I almost barfed my lunch.

Democratic Sex scandal means Democratis having sex. There is no accounting for taste but given the standards of hygeine involved I'll persist in assuming that the talk exceeds the activity.

re: #32 DeafDog

I hate to have to play the contrarian again - but Eliot Spitzer learned different.

(I can dream, can't I?)

Elliot Spitzer had made a lot of enemies in New York with his Crusading AG non-sense. It wasn't about party with Spitzer - it was personal.

Remember, he is one of the freshmen Democrats that took control in 2006. A lot of people were so upset with Bush and the Republicans backthen that they chose not to vote. This is what happens.

Democrat Sex Scandals: Do They Really Exist?

Indeed! And what ever happened with the $80,000 in the freezer?

re: #34 Taqiyyotomist

e.g. one G. Condit.

actually not to defend him, but he was found innocent iirc. let me know if I'm wrong on that. maybe the memory is going bad.

A a liberal friend of mine once said: "If it's about nookie, it doesn't matter." Of course he was talking about Bill Clinton. But his observation applies to all Democrats who are exempt from sex scandals because...well, because they're Democrats. Their support of abortion rights, gay marriage and sex education somehow buys them immunity from bimbo eruptions.

What political party did Spitzer belong to? I'm not sure, as the MSM never told us.

re: #13 dolfan

Nothing that Foley did is as bad as Mahoney. You guys don't know half of the Mahoney crap. The local newspapers nor the RNP did anything to tell the locals about him.

Mahoney's a disgrace of the highest order, but I disagree strongly with your first sentence. Foley was trying to sleep with teenage boys who came to Washington as part of a page program designed to teach them about our legislative process, not how to get molested by a powerful man.

re: #44 Spider Mensch

actually not to defend him, but he was found innocent iirc. let me know if I'm wrong on that. maybe the memory is going bad.

I don't think he was ever charged. The grand jury never returned an indictment.

Stupid, stupid, stupid girl.

Just what we need.

You dumb ass.

Since most of the Dems have no morals anyway, what could be considered a scandal? I mean, look at Gerry Studds. He continued to be re-elected for years after his scandal.

re: #32 DeafDog

(I can dream, can't I?)

I was just sort of thinking that myself. Sooner or later (most likely after the election) this will get some big MSM play time.

The congressman named Mahoney
once lobbied for the "sum of three"
he couldn't be trusted
but he wasn't busted
cause his party starts with a (D)

The congressman named Foley
was questionable ethicly
like all bad repubs
the MSM drubs
and nails to the evil (R) tree

Scandal - A publicized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society

Democrats don't feel this behavior is disgraceful or offensive.

Shameless pricks like this guy need a visit from
a Vice President who will tell them their time is up, and demand resignations.

re: #50 SusanL

Stupid, stupid, stupid girl.

Uh, that was the last thread.

re: #45 Paul

But his observation applies to all Democrats who are exempt from sex scandals because...well, because they're Democrats. Their support of abortion rights, gay marriage and sex education somehow buys them immunity from bimbo eruptions.

It does matter because it's about the abuse of power. Between power, sex and money, why should one get a pass for one of them?

Democrat? Sex scandal?

Those three words don't go together. In fact a lot of words when added with Democrat do not go together: Muslim, jihad, pro-military, taxes, Mexican, black, ACORN, William Ayers, media, bias, anti-American, Iran, Fannie, Freddie, socialist, socialism, communist, communism, borders, God, family, tax cuts, less govt, racism, sexism, fascism, experience, honesty, LULAC, la Raza, smart, patriotic, shame, etc.

Not enough time to list them all....but you get the point.

Most disgusting—he campaigned on a promise to return morals and family values to Washington!

re: #44 Spider Mensch

I don't know, and you're right...I should probably shut my yap on that. 19 Saudis took the national focus (and mine) away from that story, IIRC.

re: #48 Jamie

Foley was accused of sending e-mails to former pages. No one ever accused him of anything worse than that.

It's not bad, because he's not a hypocrite. It's not doing wrong that we hate these days, it's preaching good.

Trick or Treat! Obama style.

re: #49 Creeping Eruption

I read a long story WaPo ran on the DCPD' mishandling of that case. Condit apparently was just unlucky enough to get caught up in it. IIRC some even think she was the victim of a serial rapist/murderer.

I guess if the girl ends up missing it will hurt a Dem.

re: #32 DeafDog

"This story has all the elements of the Eliot Spitzer story. The MSM will not be able to resist."

Except that we're heading into a major election. In any given August, or on a slow news day/week, maybe. My guess is this will be buried.

Isn't San Francisco thinking about legalizing prostitution ...... who controls San Francisco .......democrats have the thinking of ....... if it feels good do it .....

Oops, wrong thread :)

Mahoney is a pig. At least his wife isn't doing the old "stand by your man". Glad she has some self respect.

Oops, wrong link in previouis post, This... is the pic that could be the beginning of a dem scandal.

It's not a scandal if it's consensual.

Why should any Democrat resign? Mayor Nagin panicked and failed to lead and people died. Re-elected. Mayor "The bi**ch set me up" Barry caught in hotel room with hooker and cocaine? Re-elected. Senator William Jefferson, corruption with $90,000 in his freezer? Re-elected. Even to the Presidency. President W.J, Clinton, engaging in sex with a subordinate and lying about it to the American people and his family? Forgiven because "he does so much good".

The new Democrats have a mind set that morals are irrelevant to politics.

re: #17 Walter L. Newton

Actually, it is an issue of great interest to the vast majority of Americans.
It just isn't a political or partisan issue. It's more like a fun movie with a nasty villain. Boo! Hiss!

re: #21 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Adding to the list...Democratic Mayor John Street of Philadelphia was trailing in the polls a few years back when it was found out the FBI was investigating him. His popularity soared and he was re-elected.

His son also threw a Molotov cocktail into an opponent's field office once. Street defaulted on numerous loans and was into heavy nepotism.

Listen to this and try to keep your blood from boiling.

This guy is nothing but a pimp posing as a congressman.

re: #70 Outrider

Um, Nagin didn't panic and not do anything...that was planned. "Don't do anything, don't let the fed do anything, and we (me and Gov. Landreau) will blame the fed, and NPR and the Rap industry can milk it for the next 3 years."
Just sayin.

re: #24 dolfan

Although she sat next to him when he "apologized," Mahoney's wife filed for divorce.

I wonder if playing the supportive wife during the press confrence is a major bargaining chip in the divorce negotiations? I'd like to see some wife of a dirty pol say in the middle of the press confrence "My God, I had no idea you were such a filthy creep!"

re: #61 dolfan

The new Democrats have a mind set that morals are irrelevant to politics.

I would add one of the results of this pattern is to so poison the political environment that any misstatement or mistake is called a lie by the opposition. Because if lying is not morally repugnant - why should the media or voters bother to waste time trying to discern of a statement was a lie or a mistake.

The dow is trying to come back.

This shouldn't really be called a "sex scandal."
It's really all about power. Just look at his list of activities:

a) Calling Allen late in the evenings and demanding ”phone sex;“
b) Demanding that Allen answer his calls or face termination;
c) Demanding that Allen attend fundraisers and ”tease c-ck“ to bring in more donations from the male members of the public;
d) Demanding that Allen engage in sexual conduct with another woman for his enjoyment.”

re: #43 MadJadBad

Indeed! And what ever happened with the $80,000 in the freezer?

Follow up to my own post. I checked Wikipedia. It was William J. Jefferson. It was $90,000 they found in his freezer and he is running for re-election this year.

Jebus H. Christonacracker, it's unbelievable!

If your going to risk your career,(and im my case a couple of other things) you might as well make sure she is worth the risk. Otherwise, your arrogance is second only to your stupidity.

re: #44 Spider Mensch

I don't think anything was proven one way or another with Condit. Although the DC cops won all kinds of honors for the most incompentant police department in America over the affair. They couldn't even find her body which was dumped in the park that was her last known location.

For months.

This is just sex, Lt. for life John F. Kerry, is a traitor, a liar, a fraud,
he lied under oath before congress, he voted with others to conspire to shoot U.S. Senators and Congressmen, still yet he sits in our U.S. Senate.

Problems, ya, "We the People" got problems. The great spirit is pushing some of the out of the boat for us, some of the pushing we will have to do ourselves.

Vote, Vote, Vote, get others to join the R's and fix them, get involved in bailing out the water leaking in, our boat is sinking, and we are just sitting here watching the water rising around us.

LW: I was fully expecting the grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan to arrive from Maryland and endorse McCain. I was becoming frightened that we were returning to 1968, when they assassinated Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Those were bad times.

Bobby Kennedy was assissinated by PALESTINIAN Sirhan Sirhan, whose family is still heavily involved in terrorism.

snip

One of the most dramatic moments for me was when I was watching McCain on television, and I thought I saw in McCain’s eyes himself, when someone yelled something out, a recognition of, ‘Oh, God, what have I done?’ This is not McCain; he doesn’t cater to this. But for the first time in his political life, I think he realized that there are some strange people in the Republican tent. My father used to say, ‘Larry beware of the left because they will bankrupt you; beware of the right because they will kill you.’

Being one of the "not good looking" women out there, I can tell you that to most people, we aren't "people of worth".

Not feeling sorry for myself, I look the way the Lord (and genetics) determined, but for one minute do not kid yourself that there is not extreme bias if you do not fit the "pretty" category. You get used to it. It never stops hurting (being judged by your appearance, not your intelligence), but like I said, you get used to it.

New Gallup poll shows 75% of U.S. Jews plan to vote Obama
[Link: www.haaretz.com...]
A new poll released by the Gallup organization on Thursday shows Jewish voters favor Barack Obama over John McCain by more than 3 to 1, with 74% saying they will vote for Obama over 22% for McCain.

The poll, which has interviewed over 650 Jewish registered voters each month since June, shows American Jews growing increasingly comfortable with Obama since July, when the Illinois Senator tied up the Democratic Party nomination. The poll shows support for McCain among Jews stood at a high of 34% in June, before beginning its downward turn in July after Obama's nomination.

Is this for real?

Just sayin.

Yeah well, I don't give Nagin that much credit for intelligence nor the seated governor at the time. I remember that face on TV screaming profanities and crying when he should have been calm and leading his city. I remember his city government, to include looting elements of the police force , disintegrating and letting everyone fend for themselves. The TV series "Branded" comes to mind when I think of treatment for him; not re-election.

If Republicans continue to resist, said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., Democrats are likely to rejoin the issue in January, when they expect party standard bearer Barack Obama to take the oath of office as president.

"There's no question the House will pass ... a much bigger (stimulus plan) than we passed before," Frank said of a postelection lame duck session. "If enough Republicans in the Senate decide to filibuster it ... then we'll just wait until January."

I don't think I condemned half the human race with that remark.

Well, I've got to get back to work. Thanks all for the island of sanity and support.

Susanl

Don't get it yet? It's left over from the hippies. The Dems have taken on the "free love" ethic. The Republicans announce that these sex escapades are "wrong." Therefore, these things have no consequences for the Dems because their platform is "free love". The Republicans have terrible consequences because of their stated position that it is "wrong." So the same behavior is treated differently because of the one group's (often unsuccessful) attempt to raise society above this behavior that is entertaining for the participants, but really bad for families (especially kids' stablility).

re: #211 Iron Fist

re: #92 dolfan

Right, and McCain isn't fit to be President because he doesn't e-mail.

Wasn't Senator McCains campaign staffs one of the first to use the Internet as a campaign tool? He uses a Blackberry as a daily tool also.

He ~doesn't~use the keyboard much. To wit:

Forbes, May 2000: His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. "She's a whiz on the keyboard, and I'm so laborious," McCain admits.

But his campaigns have been relying on the Internet for a long time.

Even during the hippie era, free love/lots o' sex was good when young folks/hippies did it, but gross and disgusting and wrong--to hippies--when older people or "squares" did it, or even showed an interest in it.

It was, in other words, the attitude of the teenager who is grossed out at the thought of Mom and Dad getting together, but eager to try his luck in the car's back seat.

The Democrats have elevated this adolescent viewpoint to party principle.

That's right. They still think they are young and being hip is way more important than having a country.

They're "liberal leaning" because most of them are European expatriates, or the children of European expatriates, and yearning to turn Israel into "another European country" is a big part of the national psyche.

At some level many really think that if they're liberal enough and adopt enough European attitudes, Europe will accept them.

Of course its a fallacy, but an immensely attractive one.

Sorry, I need to answer that.

Being one of the "not good looking" women out there, I can tell you that to most people, we aren't "people of worth".

Not feeling sorry for myself, I look the way the Lord (and genetics) determined, but for one minute do not kid yourself that there is not extreme bias if you do not fit the "pretty" category. You get used to it. It never stops hurting (being judged by your appearance, not your intelligence), but like I said, you get used to it.

S

It doesnt matter if you are beautiful, pretty, not so pretty, plain or even a bit homely. To be judged by looks and not intelligence is depressing. There are currently too many women who think people should look at her body instead of her mind.

Needless to say, I'd rather have my natural 50yr old body and mind than have the body and mind of someone who has had so much plastic surgery that God might not be able to recognize her. The ego of such a person must be tremendously hungry all of the time.
