McCain's Death KnellFollow

It's a well known fact that having a black ****** condemns one to a life of mindless sex and as many illegitimate chi'ren as one can crank out.

Black female sexuality. If only we could harness it for good.

36%, as opposed to 34% among whites.

30% overall, 27% among whites, 70% among blacks.

This comment is silly.

Oh really?

Oh really?


Far be it from me to speak for TLW, but I believe he was making a joke right thar.

Then you might want to stop up your ears.

(A) Buy a newspaper. I knew about the story the day it broke via the usual "mainstream" sources.
(B) Foley's story drew so much attention because it:
- Involved homosexuality
- Involved a Congressional page
- Involved someone widely seen as a youth
- Involved a cover-up tying in high ranking Republicans including then-Speaker Dennis Hastert.

Mahoney deserves to be (and has been) in the news. Trying to compare his "case" to Foley's is just Republican silliness.

That number is derived from comparing the number of marriages in a given year to the number of divorces, which is silly because the people marrying in any given year are not the same as those divorcing. The numbers I quoted are those who have ever been divorced.

The actual divorce rate in the U.Ss has been declining since around 1980 after a huge spike in the 60s and 70s.

You're crying because he behaved like a heterosexual Republican?

Of course they do. Democrats, in spite of your cherished prejudices, are human.

So are Republicans, again in spite of your cherished prejudices.

It *was* reported. I knew about the story. So did you, presumably.

How naive are you? Right or wrong, of course it gets more public attention when you can throw more salacious details into a scandal. Spitzer got more attention than Mahoney as well because Spitzer was frolicing with high-priced prostitutes instead of just having a single mistress like good God fearing people do.

I notice you didn't mention the cover-up angle which is what really drove the story as long as it did. It quickly went from "Foley did what?" to "Who knew about Foley and how long ago did they learn it?"

Guys guys guys. Remember, it's not the crime, it's the cover-up that gets you in trouble. Watergate taught us that much.

That's why nobody would let Troopergate die out either. If Palin had admitted that she was pestering someone to fire her ex-brother-in-law in court the first time she was subpoenaed, it would have been over and done with and she'd have been slapped on the wrist and kicked back out on the campaign trail. But once she realized that people would percieve her negatively if she admitted she was wrong, she started crying partisanship and saying she wasn't going to play along. Which of course made things twice as suspicious, since if she did nothing wrong, why wouldn't she agree to say so in court?

Same thing with the Foley scandal. The salacious gossip was doubly salacious because people knew he was soliciting NAMBLA sex with pages and no one reported him.
