Well, at least they’re catching up!

Via the Washington Post:

“Two of the news media’s sources of Mark Foley’s sexually explicit instant messages to former House pages said this week that they came forward to expose the Florida congressman’s actions, not to help the Democrats in the midterm elections.

But there are indications that Democrats spent months circulating five less insidious Foley e-mails to news organizations before they were finally published by ABC News late last month, which prompted the leaking of the more salacious instant messages. Harper’s Magazine said yesterday that it obtained the five e-mails from a Democratic Party operative, albeit in May, long before the election season.

The genesis of the Foley story has become the subject of heated debate, as Republicans try to shift attention away from Foley’s misconduct and the slow reaction of House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert’s office to what they call a political hit just ahead of the midterm elections.

“Are we saying that a 15-year-old child would’ve sat on e-mails that were XXX-rated for three years and suddenly spring them out right on the eve of an election? That’s just a little bit too suspicious, even for Washington, D.C.,” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) said on “Fox News Sunday” last weekend. On the same day, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said he “never saw” the e-mails. “What you guys want to do is take your dirty laundry and throw it over the fence and try to blame other people,” he said.

But new information suggests that the story of the release of Foley’s communications with male ex-pages is more complicated than either side asserts.”

Do Tell!

Truth is that you are going to see the MSM begin to circle the wagons and start shooting at each other. The only reason you saw Silverstein come forward, as have others, is because withholding evidence of a crime IS a crime. I think that they are beginning to see that this entire thing could backfire and in a large way.
