Penultimate quote is most perceptive

Post #269,941 by pwhysall 10/9/06 5:33:41 PM Reply	Penultimate quote is most perceptive "What I don't understand is where have these e-mails been for three years? Are we saying that a 15-year-old child would have sat on e-mails that were triple-X-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.," Kingston said.

You don't get to be a congressional page if you're an idiot, and even at 15 one can often see which way the wind blows. Perhaps he saw that the Republicans had asked Foley to run again despite Foley's stated intention to not do so, and decided to do to them what had been done to him: "ok, you're not going to listen to me... well, let's just let everyone else know about this little thing you've got going and see how well that strikes you." --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Next thing you're going to be saying that a 15-year-old has the capacity to make informed decisions. Which we all know is absurd ... well, unless he kills someone, then charge him as an adult and fry his ass. === Kip Hawley is still an idiot. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

At least, that's my guess as to the likely state of his mind; of course I don't actually /know/ this for a fact. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
