Faced with the choice of my Son getting an email from Foly or being ask by The Clintons to be "on the team", I'd choose the former. Much safer.

BTW Andrew, did you ever make the statement "It's only about sex" during President Clinton's Term in Office? "THAT WOMAN" was a young intern at the time.

Jello,

Surely you mean "PALES in comparison?" You freepers are tenacious, but you aren't the smartest bunch.

You could argue that having sex with teenagers is not only not wrong, but historically justified.

(Not my view, though, but NAMBLA and many pederasts would agree)

You see Andrew, you can argue this either way, but to downplay the 'minor' Berger security break is EXACTLY what the MSM did while it played up the Foley scandel.

Moreover, Andrew, a 'minor' burglary brought down a sitting President whereas today, it couldn't bring down a democrat nat (note I stated democrat for it the nat were republican, well ...)

The page wasn't a minor!!!

The page was over the age of 16 and in Washington D.C. the age of consent for all sexual activities is 16. And this is the lowest age for all 50 states. Only Canada is lower, with an age of 14 for all sexual activities.

Andrew breaking the law is breaking the law, that's problem with you liberals, you like to justify it when your boys break the law. Bergler should be investigated as much as foley. they both broke the law. also, if you don't think stealing classified info isn't as bad, then you are very ignorant.

You can't possibly think that soliciting sex from minors over the internet is on par with removing 5 classified documents and notes about them from Archives

Nice points except for a few facts:
1.) Foley did not solicit sex from a minor.
2.) We don't know what document Sandy Berger removed.
3.) The democrats knew about the Foley emails and IM's well before they made them public. They waited to release the information at a time that was designed for maximum damage.

Which leads to a few opinions:
1.) Are you really suggesting that sending creepy emails is more serious than matters of national security?
2.) If the Republicans would have made a big deal about the Foley emails and IM's they would have been cast as homophobic bigots who were trying to police the bedroom. It was a no win situation.
3.)The democrats withholding the information is not any worse than the republicans inaction but it is not a whole lot better either.
4.) The Foley and Berger stories are not related and it is childish to suggest that one should not be reported because the other is not covered. I am surprised the Berger story does not get more coverage but comparing the two makes no sense in any case.

Andrew Elgert, while I in no way condone what Mark Foley did, check your facts. He did not solicit sex from minors. The only email they found where he actually intimated that was to the page when he was 18. Once they are 18, using his power and influence was the real crime. And before you say that they couldn't say no or weren't responsible, how old was Monica the first time? Again, I don't condone it, but I PUT WHAT Sandy Berger did ON A LEVEL WITH WATERGATE!

Oh are we still looking into that? I thought he resigned, apologized and went to rehab. I think that's all the Republicans have to do to absolve themselves of any wrongdoing.
What did he do that was so wrong? Abuse of power, abuse of minors, sexual harrassment in the workplace, unethical behavior in government. But then he didn't get oral sex from a consenting adult, so who cares?

Teenagers are not children -- they have a mouth - legs - ears - etc.

Why didn't they report it or even quit on account of no action. They didn't have to stay there and take it.

Give me a break - they weren't helpless -

When are you libs going to start training your children to be self-sufficiant instead of waiting for permission. Everyone has the right to report obscene behavior - don't wait for permission to report it.

We all know it was a set up in the first place - and there were teenagers that coddled to MR. Foley and were making wise cracks behind his back. ONly the stupid person didn't realize it.

It worked didn't it? Got him off the congressional floor. That's what the MSM wanted -- along with the Dem Party.

people are just stupid , both are wrong, and both should be put in jail, wrong, is wrong, if you violate the rights of children or steal information to protect someone is also wrong, both should be investigated and if found guilty put in jail, final, when is one worst then the other, sin, is sin, and wrong is wrong, but if your a friend of someone in high places you get all the breaks. If it was a normal citizen he would be in jail by. now, come on America wake up!!

Berger = Foley? When you got nothing, use it over and over again until someone thinks you're right. Wing. You freepers looking for a job on fox?

On a level with Watergate? How stupid can you be? Did Sandy Berger's name appear in this story anywhere? If not, then stop talking about him. The FBI lied to CREW and lied to the media and did not investigate even though they should have. No one at the FBI is being punished for what went on. Sandy Berger has nothing to do with it.

When a Democrat has boy-on-boy love, it's called 'beautiful'.

When a Republican wants to have boy-on-boy love, it's called a 'Scandal'.

Funny, isn't it?

Commenting on the Sandy/Foley comparison. Remember, Foley didn't commit a crime -- not a single crime. Regardless of what I may personally think of his actions, he did nothing criminal.
Sandy Berger, on the other hand, committed several crimes. He engaged in illegal activities -- Foley did not.

ABC News/Brian Ross- thank you for the constant flow of information on penises.

Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. Penis, Penis. Mark Foley Penis. Page Penis. Focus on Penis. Penis and more Penis.

Now for the news, head over to Fox News Channel.

Yeah, beaking the law is breaking the law for you republicans, unless of course it is George Bush breaking the law. But then again for King George, no laws apply to him because he says so, and you repubs have no problem with it. So lame dragging the Sandy Berger situation into this. Pathetic attempt to demonize the democrats. And right, the repubs sat on the Mark Foley emails so as not to be cast as homophobic. It is quite the fantasy world you repubs have created for yourselves. This argument that the pages were not children and not helpless or under the age of consent is OBSCENE! Absolutely ridiculus. Does that make it just fine to you for a representative to prey on them? And arguing the right vs. wrong of Berger and Foley, yeah Berger broke the law and should be punished, and it appears that Foley did not break the law, but MORALLY to me there is no question Foley has done the greater wrong.

but but but...

SANDY BERGER!!!

did he lie and people died? Or was that someone else?

See you at the Impeachment hearings, my little chicken hawks.

It's just more obstruction of justice by the Bush administration and Congress. It happened under the GOP-majority, and they weren't going to let anything affect their hold on power in Congress. I'm sure they were pressured from going-forward, and that can only be done by Executive pressure.

"did he lie and people died? Or was that someone else?"

That was Bill Clinton I believe you are referring to Gars.

See 'Waco'

"Playing up" the Foley scandal???
LEWINSKI was ALL over the ENTIRE MEDIA, papers, teevee, rasio. EVERYTHING for FOUR SOLID YEARS.
The Foley story was GONE after a MONTH. OUR media has been HIJACKED AND STOLEN by the SAME CRIMINALS who PERPETRATED 9/11. Al-Queada was CREATED by the CIA, and INFILTRATED by the CIA, yet teh ENTIRE "security" apparatus sat around with BLANK STARES on 9/11.
Time to get real people, the Republican CABAL has been consistently been using the MEDIA to STEAL our nation under the guise of PATRIOTISM since Joe McCarthy.
