		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don’t care much about the DC Madam, unless Karl Rove is on that phone list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What I  &lt;b&gt;do&lt;/b&gt; want to know is &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- who was Gannon servicing in the White House and&lt;br /&gt;
- when will this come out ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is this another thing like the Bush separation that will be revealed as “common knowledge” in, say, 2 years ?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here’s my very late contrarian view:&lt;br /&gt;
The hookers from this agency have so far been all women. The republicans are the closeted gay mafia so they must have been using another service. Ergo - this will turn up some dems and miss some repubs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[PW butts in:  Actually, no Dems have been named and some Cons/Bushies are on the list.]&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I LOVE it! That Madame has big brass cojones, and if she pulls down the republican party with them, so much the better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, legalize and tax it - why should we all pay taxes on our income and sales when they don’t? The girls would be more likely to escape abuse and assault, and would be more likely to provide safe sex and get medical treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The only way I could see Dick Morris on the list is if they also do the gay escort thing.  Every time I hear Morris my gaydar goes off on full alert.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Happy Beltane*.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I will post this here and on the current thread. (I crashed early this evening; now it is 1:30 a.m., and this system will not let me type contractions. hmmm. Anyhow, I found this information when I clicked on the link to Tucker Carlsons dad. It is at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scooterlibby.com.&quot;&gt;www.scooterlibby.com.&lt;/a&gt; On the home page is the “Advisory Committee” with the Honorable Fred Thompson included. Hope this helps.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The reluctance of the Washington based press to jump into this story may very well be telling.  There was no hesitation from 1992 onwards to print absolutely any kind of garbage concerning Whitewater and that was  (warning, massive understatement coming) a rather more serious matter.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t get any of us going on the kneejerk reaction to some of the Lewinsky spin-off stories (Kathleen Willey, etc.) that were without merit. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If ABC does indeed have the whole list and there were a well known Democrat on that list we would have heard it by now.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interesting that the Washington press corps gets all cautious and ethical when it comes to Republicans but throws caution to the wind where Democrats are concerned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although he worked for Clinton for awhile, Dick Morris is a Republican. If Morris is on the list, the press will report him as a former Clinton aide.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-666276&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;SnarKassandra @ 75 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any advice on changing this before I hit POST:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am 15 yrs old and I attend a Texas school where we are taught abstinence and not real sex ed with prevention.  The studies show that abstinence only programs are completely ineffective for teenagers, and I am wondering if the abstinence only philosophy is also ineffective for congress members and lobbyists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cassie — great question! Tweetie and Jim VandeHei will never read it, but go for it anyway.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Phoenix Woman—I believe the John McCain story is even worse. He was “dating” wife No. 2 while still being married to wife #1. Also, he supposedly was really disappointed to come home from being an POW and find that wife #1, who had formerly been a hottie, had been in a serious car accident while he was a POW. She didn’t tell him because she didn’t want him. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean, sheesh. Wife #1 sticks by McCain through his long years as a POW, raises the kids on her own, survives a car crash and gets dumped shortly after McCain comes home because she walked with a limp and wasn’t the hottie of his dreams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, wife #1 is better off without the guy. But still. It was ugly.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-666331&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Loo Hoo @ 124&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does Monica hold the &lt;a&gt;Keys to the Kingdom?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think she probably does, but the more I learn, the more uncomfortable I get with the immunity deal.  She clearly knew what she was doing and she did it willingly.  They had better make darn sure that they absolutely need her to get to Rove, Cheney and Bush.  Cuz the thought of her walking away scott free from this makes me pretty mad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jonathan Turley was on Olbermann tonight and he said he thought Leahy was acting brilliantly waiting for the DoJ investigation on Monica to do it’s work before bringing her before the JudComm to testify. They will benefit from the DoJ findings and that way she won’t be able to pull an Oliver North and get off scott free for her evil deeds.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
