[Nikki Stone 1]

Anybody think this pedophile story was deliberately leaked to hide the real issue?

1. lol, there isn't enough tin foil in all the tubes on all the internets

to make me believe that.

2. Hide what? As has been said here many many times before, some of

us can walk and chew gum at the same time. The torture vote is not forgotten.

Plus, what could possibly hurt the republican's with its fundie base more than a sex scandal? Answer: Nothing.

3. No.

Turning the country into a totalitarian regime elicits yawns.

Cybersex with a minor, and a leadership conspiracy to cover it up does not. Particularly among the repressed self-loathing family values hypocrites, you know, Bush's base.

4. No! The blog community is capable of focusing on multiple issues!

Torture is an activism issue. Americans are shopping right now! Tonight they will return home and watch all the stories about the pervert Republican and the GOP coverup! Good news!

5. They sure as hell wouldn't throw one of their OWN under the bus if they

could help it. And the stink is getting on the senior leadership. That theory doesn't hold up. Lose a seat AND endanger your seniors? Naaah.

6. It is certainly being spun tho...to protect those who knew.

The bigger story is that the Speaker of the HOuse knew that Foley was sexually harassing children and protected Foley. Hastert is in a powerful position, and sacrificed the children for his buddy.
