Like I wasn't going to blog about this story.
Seems that yet another republi-clown (Family.God. Country) hypocrite has been caught with his pants down. --Well, in this case, it's trying to make his pants go down.
"Rep. Christopher Lee , a New York Republican, has resigned after reports surfaced that the married congressman was trying to meet women on Craigslist, a GOP source told CNN.
Lee acknowledged making "profound mistakes" and said his decision to step down was voluntary.
"It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York. I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness," he said in a statement.
"The challenges we face in Western New York and across the country are too serious for me to allow this distraction to continue, and so I am announcing that I have resigned my seat in Congress effective immediately." [Source]
Blah blah blah. Yes, but you caused the "distraction". Don't try to make it seems like your little attempted Craigslist rendezvous was someone else's fault. You are in this one all by yourself congressman.

Still, I am not going to kill Lee like I would some of the other hypocrites in his party. He is not the worst of that loony lot.
"Lee apparently responded to the ad claiming to be a divorced, 39-year-old lobbyist who described himself as a "fit fun classy guy." He sent the woman a two photographs of himself, including one in which he is shirtless and flexing. When the woman discovered that Lee is actually married, 46 years old and a member of Congress, she sent the correspondence and pictures to Gawker.
Lee's office deflected media inquiries all day until his resignation statement was released, and Lee would only tell Fox News while walking to his car Wednesday afternoon that "I have to work this out with my wife." Gawker reported that his office first claimed in response to their questions that Lee's email had been hacked, and that Lee deleted his Facebook account following the site's initial inquiry. "
Oh my! Now now Congressman, you can't go lying to a sincere Craigslist inquiry. Especially if she is a sister. Don't ask how I know. I have people. (Shout out to Rippa)
Anyway, all is well that ends well. The congressman did the right thing by all involved and resigned. Let's hope that this is the end of it...
Finally, after seeing this poll, I am happy to announce that there still might be hope for the A-merry-can people. (h/t Greg) I wonder what else the A-merry-can people want that we have been led to believe- in this right leaning media world- that they don't? Tax hikes for rich folks?
Supporting environmental protections? Not cutting social security?
Supporting environmental protections? Not cutting social security?
Wow! A-merry-ca is looking better and better every day.

liar & deceiver Mr. Lee!! oh wait, i believe that is one of many qualifications to be in office. lol.
Ah, the perils of not understanding how the internet, or apparently much else, works.
Maybe CNN will offer him a job with Eliot Spitzer.
Maybe he figured that peeps were so disinterested and diseffected that they wouldn't recognize their own congressman trying to get his jimmy waxed?!?
I suffered through Parker/Spitzer tonight, just to see if Eliot would give his "insider's take" on this story.
They never mentioned a single word about it...
I live right next to Chris Lee's district, and a number of my coworkers are his constituents. Word around here is that he's been creeping for years, and just never got caught - until now...
After reading this post on Rep. Christopher Lee, I couldn't help but refer to a couple of sayings by two historical figures whom I'm sure Chris would cite as his heroes.
"It's the easiest thing in the world for a man to deceive himself.
~~~Benjamin Franklin~~
"Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves".
~~Daniel Webster~~
Indeed...a sad state of affairs!
Some say you can always count on a sex scandal to waylay a Republican politician's career.
These guys stake their career on gaining the moral high ground with their constituents on issues such as abortion, same sex marriage and abstinence, only to become undone by their own infidelities and sexual peccadilloes.
Mack Lyons said..."These guys stake their career on gaining the moral high ground"
Which is why they always have to resign.
Is your point then, that since Democrat politicians make no pretense of adherence to any standards of personal morality, their constituents don't insist on personal integrity?
i.e. as long as you sign onto abortion on demand, normalization of homosexuality, and are against counseling restraint to teenagers, you can cheat on your wife.
forgive any double posts. blogger is on its on thing right now.
posting as anonymous will sign @ the end though until i have time to fix problem.
"Oh my! Now now Congressman, you can't go lying to a sincere Craigslist inquiry. Especially if she is a sister. Don't ask how I know. I have people. (Shout out to Rippa)"
LOL. now how is THAT for proper vetting on that behind?!!! lol. had this been a brotha, sister girl's heart would've been all soft and she would have TALKED HERSELF into reasons to be a baby mama. he already been married once and is just a little shy about doing it again. plus its just a piece of paper...blah...blah...blah...lol. all that conditioning is NOT easy business to throw off, THAT'S why more haven't done it decades ago. lol. FN, i see you and i think you are HILARIOUS.
from yesterday's post. i wasn't trying to edit. thanks for considering my suggestion nevertheless. maybe it was the examples i gave. you know Lark Voorhies aka Lisa Turtle has a behind as well, right? maybe HER pic next time, as you seek to objectify and disrespect women? or would she be sacred and deserving of so much more respect than that?
kudos for not disconnecting from your manhood and allowing the racist, sexist, bw degrading comments to get through without address.

"Which is why they always have to resign.

Yes, they always resign in disgrace. The point is, if they espouse the same sort of morality they peddle to their constituents, then how come they themselves never seem to be able to adhere to it in their own daily lives? That's where the hypocracy comes in. Republicans package themselves as being the utmost highest moral caliber of politician, so it's little wonder that the people who placed so much stock in their moral rectitude are literally heartbroken when that every same politician does something that is morally or ethically unbecoming.
As far as Democrats are concerned, morality is a personal issue that's handled largely on an individual level and collectively handled whenever necessary. Republicans seem to operate in the reverse.
"i.e. as long as you sign onto abortion on demand, normalization of homosexuality, and are against counseling restraint to teenagers, you can cheat on your wife."
Looks like the truckload of hyperbole just arrived. Where do I sign?

I'm also guessing that he's white.
Notice that FP didn't unload on HIM though."
uts, you AND i thought the speaker was a HE. newsflash ladyboy, i, as a woman DO NOT fight with men. that business has NOT served bw well. it has made you boys, act like dainty ladies, and others regard bw as mannish since bw have been so quick to jump into protection mode. all while most of you go on vacation while bw are being viciously attacked from all sides. NO THANK YOU. i honor traditional gender roles and am content to allow you ladyboys to identify yourselves by your silence and inaction when the EXACT OPPOSITE is called for. however, i WILL do my part and make sure folks understand why you get no respect. it is NOT always racism. as soon as more bw get this, the sooner more will be free.
as a BM, if you can sit and listen to folks denigrate women that include your mother, wife, sisters,and daughters SILENTLY then YOU need to fix that. for me, it is impossible to care less about what lying racists have to say. THEIR WOMEN know the deal ALL DAY. they and i know one can be covered in cellulite WITH an extended back, no behind. tara reid's cellulite extended back was prominently featured all over the tabloids. i can see how one can have fat in a fat behind, but an extended back? i would be ticked off at sisters, too. lol. latinas without cellulite. OK. riiiight. i have seen it in arms even. lol. folks need to STOP PLAYING.
if my brother is lunching when it is time to put in work, i will give HIM a nudge. if the men that mirror my image are sleeping when they need to be awake and vigilant, i will attempt to shake them awake...before i write them off as useless.
as i look at your avatar, i have to say i can understand your fascination with "bearillas". you must be mighty ticked you have to pretend to not have lost that loving feeling, so she will keep bringing home the bacon. LOL. ok, that was mean. WHY do you invite me to bully you little man? WHY? PLEASE ignore me. lol.
As much as I love Rippa's blog, I didn't see the connection to the Rep Lee issue.
Glad to see the Republicans finally make a small downpayment on the cuts that must be made so that our children and grandchildren will actually have a future.
The only way to end generational welfare and the cycle of dependency is to make it ... temporary aid ... which it was ended to be. Not a lifestyle ...temp aid.
--Karen
one other thought...as i walked away from computer laughing, it occurred to me that the lying racist said that ww age well. now you and ALL know this is a lie. in fact, i just recently told a ww babygirl to choose happy as she lamented about how unfair it all was. she is much younger than me and already looks much older, God bless her.
i have love for all women, irrespective of color. i have NO USE for the racist women/privileged opportunists of any shade that will stand in my presence and pretend they think the blatant lies are the truth.
i didn't address the racist HE because his claims are the ones only a man would make. i have met racist non blk women. even they in all of their audacity would never utter such stupidness. lol.
you bmenfolk need to start exercising that muscle of standing up and speaking up when folk come through your womenfolk to challenge your manhood. for real. or not. this is a patriarch. keep acting like delicate little, petulant, undisciplined women and see how far that takes you. shrug.
AB, your last comment on the post a couple entries back was no joke. i don't think these folks can hear you though. God bless you for continuing to sound the alarm and put it down sis. i changed courses. i want as many bw and girls to come up out of the mess before the peace walls go up. the caste and permanent underclass is well underway. take a peak at congo, s africa, haiti and other places to see what life is like for the women and girls once the destruction and hopelessness has fully taken hold. note who is reaking havoc on these women as well. those places are a trailer for the coming attractions for parts of america. in fact, in some places, it is here already.
"uts, you AND i thought the speaker was a HE. newsflash ladyboy, i, as a woman DO NOT fight with men. that business has NOT served bw well."
I get what you're saying FP, but allowing what that hillbilly asswipe said stand without comment tends to send the wrong impression, especially since you always make a point to stand up for Black women whenever possible. Considering you never hesitate to trounce on any Black man for committing the same stupid mistake, it doesn't reflect well on you at all. In fact, it makes your above comment rather disengenuous since you seem fit to bicker with guys like Steve on these issues every day.
I'm not blaming you or attempting to unload on you because you didn't do "x" or say "y". I'm only pointing out the glaring obviousness in the way you handle attacks on Black women from Black men and attacks on Black women from White men. The difference in the responses are enough to have observers dismiss you as highly hypocritical.
I'm not even going to touch on your fascination with "ladyboys", nor why you insist on linking Black men's manhood with how well they reflexively agree with and defend you and how often they carry your arguments for you.
Mack Lyons said..."then how come they themselves never seem to be able to adhere to it in their own daily lives?"
Well, I would submit that 99% do, or at least don't get caught. But I agree with you: If someone establishes a public persona undergirded by personal character, they should suffer the consequences of failing to live up to the standards they themselves have set.
Adherence to a moral standard isn't always easy; one would expect some failure rate.
"Looks like the truckload of hyperbole just arrived. Where do I sign?"
Well, you should at least sign on to your own thesis. Bill Clinton is a prime example of someone who aligned himself with every public initiative designed to assuage groups that he, in his private life, routinely abused. His administration made an early and concerted effort to codify sexual harassment penalties. When he got caught as the perpretrator of a textbook example of sexual harassment, the very groups for which the statutes were a Holy Grail (e.g. NOW) refused to condemn him.
So what's more honorable, taking responsibility for personal failings, or balancing one's personal failings by granting power to groups most offended by one's actions?
@Rev Right:
You make me swoon.
Where have you been hiding??
Speaking of politics:
US imperialism is not looking so good. Egyptian public wants democracy and the US refuses to side with it and instead tries to sell the Egyptians on what they no is not the way forward, but the same old,same old.
Americans are going through one of the worst winters in recent times and the leader of the country suggests cuts to energy assistance.

If I recall, aligning himself with those groups was done out of political expedency -- the whole "triangulation" thing and all. Anyone else can jump in and fill in the details. His constituency managed to seperate his personal dealings from his performance in the Oval Office. Those people were probably appalled when he decided to carry out those dealings in the Oval Office, in the most unprofessional manner possible. And those people still didn't see the need to upend the nation by carrying out a campaign to impeach and remove him from office. Nor did Clinton see any need to resign in order to salvage his image and that of the Democrat party.
Clinton didn't build up such an iron-clad, squeaky clean image of himself as some sort of infallable family values man. Meanwhile, it's practically required of GOP politicians and its supporters literally eat and sleep those values. They take it a lot harder than Democrats would when their leaders fuck up on that front, hence the need for these men and women to resign in order to salvage the GOP brand. They disconnect themselves and their failings from the brand itself so it stays clean.
Cheerleading for Clinton when his sexual pecadilloes were on full display hurt NOW's credibility a great deal, AFAIK.
"So what's more honorable, taking responsibility for personal failings, or balancing one's personal failings by granting power to groups most offended by one's actions?"
I don't quite get what you mean. "...granting power to groups most offended by one's actions"? So in the case of a sex scandal, instead of resigning, you balance out your fuck-up by granting the family values groups power to flagellate you publicly until your sins are made whole? Perhaps you can clarify the question a bit.
"Glad to see the Republicans finally make a small downpayment on the cuts that must be made so that our children and grandchildren will actually have a future."
The Republicans are intent on cutting social programs that would actually benefit our nation's children and grandchildren. These cuts would eventually net less than $100 billion on a $14 trillion-dollar debt that's growing each year.
Meanwhile, the military budget remains sacrosanct and the Republicans are still intent on giving the top 5% earners tax breaks that would only add to our national debt. If the Republicans were really worried about the future of this country's children and grandchildren, they know exactly where to cut so that it would actually count.
FP, who will hereafter be referred to as the Bitter Black Bitch (BBBs), spews:

Ha. "Ladyboy." "Dainty Ladies." It is quite interesting that a self-proclaimed "womanist" (I am sure that you are an acolyte of Alice Walker and Sapphire judging from your writings; most Bitter Black Bitches are) would use such reductionist (homophobic and anti-woman) terms to denigrate a male poster who disagrees with you. I find it interesting that Alicia Banks has not picked up on and challenged this. But, I am sure you get a pass because you, Audiobooks, and AB are bound by your hatred of Black men -- principles be damned! AB is part of an "in crowd" and that is all that matters!"
You Bitter Black bitches don't need us evil Black men to denigrate you -- you are doing a splendid you yourselves. Brava, Black Bitch, Brava!
"as a BM, if you can sit and listen to folks denigrate women that include your mother, wife, sisters,and daughters SILENTLY then YOU need to fix that."
But it is OK for Bitter Black Bitches like you to denigrate your fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons? Bitch, fix YOURSELF before you ATTEMPT to advise someone else about their behavior. Tell me, why do these Bitter Black Bitches feel that they can insult Black men with impunity?
"as i look at your avatar, i have to say i can understand your fascination with "bearillas". you must be mighty ticked you have to pretend to not have lost that loving feeling, so she will keep bringing home the bacon. LOL. ok, that was mean. WHY do you invite me to bully you little man? WHY? PLEASE ignore me. lol."
You are quite the petty little bitch aren't you? More homophobia and misogyny. I thought you were for the empowerment of all black women. Yet, you are insulting the man's Black wife. I have been lurking on this blog for a while -- I have never seen UTS' wife post. Why do you feel the need to insult her? That makes you no better than the Black men you castigate.
Bottom line, you are neither intelligent nor unique. Your kind is a dime a dozen. I am so glad that you are with a white man! You are a nasty piece of work and the race is better off without you.
Field why is it that you love to pick on naive innocent wm who are Republicans? They have a right to enjoy life just like you phony progressive black liberal dems.
And you have the nerve to talk about morals? What the hell do you folks know about morals? Hell, you don't even believe in God, so how would you know anything about morality and ethics?
At least the Republicans know that abortion is morally wrong while you folks think it is ok to kill a baby in the womb. You folks are sick, sick, sick.
I'm from the NY-26 that is like Bucks County to North Philadelphia (with the blight however not the row homes and incompetent mayor... of Buffalo) , I met this guy and he beat the Obama wave of 2008 then again y'all in DC need to stop acting like its the Vatican City... you know many of y'all did the walk on shame from U Street, so many Interns running around that city, its like a Spring Break w/ J-Crew. Oddly enough you can't really find chit about Jessie Jackson Jr's affair and that chick was banging he was banging on the side
Field did you read the story about the woman who went into CVS and bought some candy kept her receipt but wound up being harrassed, choked and tasered while on the ground.
Seems violence is not just limited to street crime and war mongering. Going to the store can be a risky move it seems these days, not only because of potential crooks but also because of the crooks and hoods who hide behind badges.
We're living a country where half the population has lost their mind and the other half is wondering what's wrong with these people.

I couldn't finish reading the article about the pregnant woman murder. They stomped and punched that child like she was a man. Jesus Jesus Jesus, help us today. Smh! I hope nobody paid them to do that. That is trifling low-down, dirty, and sick-minded, ruthless mess.
@Mellaneous:
There are many thugs wearing badges these days. They joined the forced just for that purpose to beat, maim, and kill people they hate. smh!
I'm going to bed. Too much sadness and sick mindedness in the news today. It's getting so it's not even worth reading or watching the news anymore. Nothing in it these days is uplifting and it seems those days are over.

ok. first, i am going to need you to not lie on me. thank you in advance for your cooperation. more often than not, time will find me IGNORING uts. when his foolishness provides a teachable moment and greater purpose, i respond. think i am lying? go back a few threads and see him talking to himself though typing my name. lol.
secondly, when bm- bw's GOD GIVEN providers and protectors come hard and wrong with bw, YES, i will stand up and speak on it. when men behave as boys or simply male, the woman/mother/sister in me feels compelled to wake them up or write them off as useless. most importantly, when it seems i am addressing menfolk, i am not, which is why i have asked the uber sensitive contingency to feel free to ignore me.
third, this is a bm's blog. to his credit he addressed the foolishness. i know my place. when in the company of men, if another man comes stupid, i do not get up and try to handle him. period. out of curiosity, HOW do you know the commenter was white? maybe this is a newsflash to you, but there are bm that share those same sentiments. i just know it was an out of order, racist, sexist, masculine energied comment. menfolk business to handle.
for the record, ML, where was YOUR comment to the racist? did i miss it? take your logic and apply it to yourself because you are A MAN. right? you are quick to argue and bicker with me and other women, yet when racists come through, you got nothing? but the audacity to try to convince me that it is MY responsibility to regulate men? you may feel free to keep that because i reject it and will not shoulder those responsibilities. the love of your momma should've had you shutting that foolishness down. that is manfolk business and you bmanfolk need to get in the business of handling it. and no, ya'll DON'T need help, ya'll need to get serious and busy.
one day, i am optimistic, we will agree on something. lol.
LOL @ anon 1:20 AM! struck a nerve did i?
there is NOTHING about your energy that reads masculine. NOTHING. so i can see fully why the term ladyboy would have you hysterical. if you ARE a man, you may want to work on that. hysterical men are NOT the business. lol.
IF you are a woman, you may want to pull yourself together. we all know some stereotypes are rooted in truth. if there were a pepsi can near i would be concerned about you. lol.
word to the wise, you are giving me far too much power. those that can get you to go off control you. lol. fix that. it is not a good look. you just had a total hot ghetto messy melt down in the comment section. you may want to take that on over to bossip among your intellectual peers...you'll fit right in. LOL.

You sound like a BITTER BLACK SOB who is full of rage against bw. Did your mother mistreat you? Or did she smother you to the extent that you lost your male instinct?
You have yet to grow up! You are still a boy, or maybe you are a woman?
lol shemale
"Field why is it that you love to pick on naive innocent wm who are Republicans? They have a right to enjoy life just like you phony progressive black liberal dems."
Because progressive black (or white) liberal dems do not tell the rest of us how to live our personal lives. That's why.
It's always easier to go after a hypocrite.
I hope that answers Rev. Wrong's concerns as well.
karen, the link to Rippa was not meant to shed light on the story,it was marely meant to show who Rippa is. You might want to go to his twitter page for the story.
Yes Mel. thugs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
"At least the Republicans know that abortion is morally wrong while you folks think it is ok to kill a baby in the womb. You folks are sick, sick, sick."
Yes, as opposed to killing them when they are a little older.
How many will it be this year, that get caught with their todger where it shouldn't be, lying about something, killing someone while drunken driving, on the take, or actually committing treason.
After a while you just shrug. Same-old same-old.
Then, out pops some apologist who explains in exasperated tones to the proles that people like this "prominent" person can't be judged by normal standards, their appetites are bigger, and they are not actually bound by the same codes and mores as lesser folks, so lighten up.
To sort of paraphrase Voltaire, maybe the "lower elements" will practice more "honesty", show compassion, thtink ahead as to consequence when the "uppers" stop being allowed to get away with their shit.

This has to be the most disconnected from reality thing you have EVER written. Sure its the conservatives who create the nanny state and pay for me nation...HA. Hey how is Michelles inner city salad bar project coming? Maybe she should work on kids learnin some readin and rithmatic before she worries about providing more free food.
As for killing them after they get older? Really, I wonder who does that most as a result of 50 years of liberal policies? I wonder...
Your right about the democrats not being hypocrites they have a very high corrupt percentage and say we just gettin ours and stay in power, right maxine, charlie and so on, while the conservatives demand this booger leave and he does so in hours. That there FN, is standards versus your black (and white) liberal "better for you then me" corrupt progressive/democrat/marxist/socialist/liberals.

You'll go off on black men at the slightest provocation, screaming, neck rolling and finger waving.
But a white dude could smack you on the rear and call you "Sapphire" right to your face and all you'd do is give him a sheepish smile.
You don't fool anybody.
Morning Maria!
Just stopping in for a quick second. Busy week.
FP, your comments on the previous thread were priceless. And I don't know why folks are pretending to lose their religion all because you chose not to entertain, and instead walked around an obvious trap placed by a fool.
People are always having these bright ideas about black women. Remind me to add the word "stupid" to that list of names and theories that are already assigned to us. That list seems to be growing every day. And now we have to throw in a bunch of unwitty acronyms too? LOL.
Yes sir, ladyboys and their protected women can get real emotional when their fruitless plans for cheap entertainment backfires. Yup, a lot of skittles and fat popcorn bags must have gotten flung into the trash that night. Now we gotta hear about it.

Yes, I came to the same conclusions long ago. As long as a democrat politician shows obeisance to certain invioable tenets, they have free license to do just about anything and keep their jobs. Run a male prostitution ring out of your Washington townhouse (Barney Frank), have sex with a 17 year old congressional page (Gerry Studds), cheat on your taxes (Chris Dodd, Charlie Rangel, Tim Geithner), line your pockets (William "Cold Cash" Jefferson),etc. etc.
While I'm sympathetic to the concept that what one does on one's own time that does not affect one's job performance is none of your employers business, don't certain jobs (like congressman or judge, for example) require a high degree of character? Doesn't corruption in one's personal life make corruption in the service of the public more likely?
And to echo "Bleach" above, holding oneself to a high personal standard is not necessarily "telling the rest of us how to live our personal lives". I'm a libertarian, and I don't think the (federal) government should be outlawing abortion or regulating marriage. But when it comes to telling us how to run our personal lives, the democrats are far and away the worst abusers. From what we can eat, where we can smoke, what we can drive, to what kind of light bulb we can use, they are up in everything.
To paraphrase someone's quote: Republicans want complete freedom in everything but sexual matters; Democrats want freedom only in sexual matters.
You live your life just as we tell you and you can do anything you want with your genitals. Is that what freedom is?
Mr. Field, I Just read about that explosion. Hope everyone is okay!
Rev. Right,
"To paraphrase someone's quote: Republicans want complete freedom in everything but sexual matters; Democrats want freedom only in sexual matters."
Care to explain how David Vitter is still in the Senate?
And how Larry Craig was allowed to serve out his full term after getting busted in the Minneapolis airport bathroom?
DC is full of women like the one who busted lee who date married men as long as it's on the DL. the fact that he was married didn't seem to bother her. just that he was stupid. yeah, i sure do know the type.

TheLoop21: What's the lesson in all this?
Anonymous: The lesson is if you’re going to do dirt, do it anonymously. People cheat everyday, but only dumb people get caught.
@ UTS: Do exceptions prove the rule?
Are you saying there is no difference in the standards to which democrats and republicans are held? Would a republican Ted Kennedy been a senator for 47 years?

Because he won re-election.....
Field Negro said..."Because progressive black (or white) liberal dems do not tell the rest of us how to live our personal lives. That's why.
It's always easier to go after a hypocrite.
LOL that is way funnie!!!!!!
Its liberals who tell us what kind of mattresses we can sleep on, what kind of toilets to piss in,what kind of shower heads we can have,what light blubs to use, what to eat,what to drive, how to think and act, and you want to claim libs don't tell us how to live?
Fields you been on the Democrat plantation way to long.
SPC
bet SNL pulls dana carvey back to play him this weekend. lee looks JUST like him.
"Because he won re-election....."
Same reason why Barney Frank and Rangel are still in Congress.
So much for Republican selective outrage.

Damn I didn't get this memo anon.
Perhaps you can forward it to us.
I do know that righties want to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of us and they have ALWAYS attempted to be the arbiters of who deserves full citizenship and whose rights should be restricted.
Rev. Right,
"Would a republican Ted Kennedy been a senator for 47 years?"
Republicans senators like Lott and Thurmond were Senators about as long.
And the MN airport bathroom wasn't the first time Larry Craig was busted for public sexuality activity.
UTS: "And the MN airport bathroom wasn't the first time Larry Craig was busted for public sexuality activity."
And exactly how is tapping one's toe in a restroom equivalent to manslaughter?
Especially since the toe tapper did not try to get elected again, but the guy who left a young woman to drown went on to a five decade career in the senate, a career marked by continuous string of sordid incidents I might add.
Good point uptown.
Good morning!!!

BTW, if Ted Kennedy was guilty of manslaughter then so was Laura Bush.

Thanks for posting.
We're very close to identifying you and when we do, light out.
Actually, identification will do nothing Steve Fair. The only think that can be done is blocking me from this site. Period. Check your books bro, check your books.
There are laws against online harrassment slimeball.
My suggestion is get a life.
Stalking is so freakin lame.
ok ok i will get a life and not bother you anymore. it was fun while it lasted.
Now don't go hanging around interstate restrooms.
Try to think of something positive to do.
Rev. Right at 11:56 "And exactly how is tapping one's toe in a restroom equivalent to manslaughter?"
They aren't. One (Kennedy) was arguably an error in judgment, (to err is human) where as the other is just a hypocrite (Craig). Being a hypocrite is the essence of who he is. Besides trying to compare Ted Kennedy with Larry Craig is like trying to compare someone like Larry Bird with any also-ran NBA bench warmer.
UTS: "ROTFLMBAO!!!!!!!!!"
That's a pretty odd reaction.
You assign equal moral opprobrium to rumors of a closeted gay lifestyle versus negligently killing someone? And then you roll around on the floor laughing hysterically about it? Sounds pretty crazy to me.
Ted Kennedy, after an entire day of drinking, snagged a 28 year old staffer and decided to drive her back to his hotel. Drunk as he was, he drove straight off a bridge into 8 feet of water. He got out, but he couldn't get her out, so he went back to the party. He walked past a fire house, but didn't ask for help. He spent that night coming up with a story. When they pulled poor Mary Jo out of the car the next morning, they determined she hadn't actually drowned, rather she asphyxiated. There had been an air pocket in the car, and she probably survived for quite a while, until the oxygen was used up. Had Teddy sought assistance rather than cover up, she might have been saved. That's something far beyond a simple accident, or error in judgement.
But he was the "Liberal Lion" of the Senate, so I guess you take the good with the bad, huh uptown?
Rev Wite, no...I don't want teenagers taught bondage. It creeps me out that you do. How about some Science-based birth control information so I don't have to see BabyMommy Bristol clones? Oh wait, it was OK for her...as it was on the taxpayers dime.
Field, I was stunned that Lee was sending his pic to a woman. Of legal age. And able to consent.
Wonder why someone is assuming intent on the part of Ted and Bill...but Larry was just innocently using a mens room when the big bad policeman entrapperated him into sending signals only known to those who frequented mens rooms for purposes of sexual encounters. Gosharooties! What a wily policeman!
Exactly what is the source for the accusations? Why...can you say wingnuts? Peel back their finely tuned moral outrage and you notice that they are attempting a Breitbart/O'Keefe/Rose scam on you. They accuse...but just a wee bit of due diligence shows that they are quite dishonest and hope that the reader is lazy and stoopid.
The buffoon who beleveerates that any conglomeration of cells found within a womb is a person shows an ignorance of Science, History, Law, Ethics, and Morality. However, I bet they yell really loud...and easily find the brave heroic courage to do so to a 45 kilo pregnant teenager.

I'm only now seeing FP at 4:44 am, how the heck did I miss that one? My stomach needs stitches right about now. LOL. Girl, I was thinking the same thing too, that sounds like the "Karma" anony. If it isn't a ladyboy, then it's one with an extended back, LOL! (I've always suspected that's who it is). And heaven forbid it's a mammy. We know how sensitive these mammies can get about their fathers and their uncles. LOL. I love this blog.
Sincerely,
-Second BBB in command. LOL
and I will stay out of interstate restrooms--maybe.
a couple of your statements pissed me off, i should not take things personally.
Which one in particular?
I'm just curious.
"The ghetto is not the face of black America?"
"Black men are not rapacious beasts?"
LAA --
I fail to see what is so funny. I think it is sad to see the state of the relationship between the sexes in our community.
Nightblade,
Don't believe the hype.
Things are not nearly as bad as the LAA's and FP's claim it to be community wise.
It's for THEM. For obvious reasons.
"for the record, ML, where was YOUR comment to the racist? did i miss it?"
I made a grand total of ONE post, condemning the animals who set themselves on a pregnant woman and called it a day.
The next day, I read the rest of the comments. With moderation on and others including the Field addressing the bozo in question, I felt I didn't need to join in. Guess I should have made a post here about that just to keep my ass covered, huh?
"take your logic and apply it to yourself because you are A MAN. right? you are quick to argue and bicker with me and other women, yet when racists come through, you got nothing? but the audacity to try to convince me that it is MY responsibility to regulate men? you may feel free to keep that because i reject it and will not shoulder those responsibilities. the love of your momma should've had you shutting that foolishness down. that is manfolk business and you bmanfolk need to get in the business of handling it. and no, ya'll DON'T need help, ya'll need to get serious and busy."
No. Just no. I'm not gonna even attempt to dive headlong into this steaming pile of neurosis and hatred.
"Especially since the toe tapper did not try to get elected again, but the guy who left a young woman to drown went on to a five decade career in the senate, a career marked by continuous string of sordid incidents I might add."
The question is would the GOP allow the toe tapper to even run for reelection? Would they quietly deny him funding and back someone else instead?
LAA has always been the main antagonist if you ever notice. I'll admit she's funny as he'll, but that's to hide the pain of not having a man in her life. I don't think she is a bad person once you get to know her. Too bad life must have been so cruel to her.
"The question is would the GOP allow the toe tapper to even run for reelection?"
That wasn't my question, and I don't know. I expect they would have preferred he fade away, which is what in effect happened.
Was what Larry Craig did that awful? Pathetic maybe, unbecoming of a US Senator, but hardly murder.
The point was that Republican voters seem to hold their elected officials to a consistent standard of personal conduct (agree with it or not), and that democratic voters don't care as long they pass the litmus test on a select few issues (He's a bastard, but he's our bastard).
Lee couldn't have made things all better by simply doubling down on commitments to various right wing activist groups. Conversely with democrats, you can (like Robert Byrd) get over your KKK connections by by being on the right side of AA or "hate" crimes issues, or (like Teddy Kennedy) you can pick up a girl and drown her as long as you are for univeral healthcare.
Mack Lyons,
I admire your patience and empathy brother.
But at some point you will see the futility of trying to be civil with a hate-filled ideologue like FP.
She sees the world in very self-serving black and white, good and evil terms and is impossible to reason with.
Good luck though.
Rev Right.
"Conversely with democrats, you can (like Robert Byrd) get over your KKK connections by by being on the right side of AA or "hate" crimes issues"
Leaving the KKK 60 years ago and repeatedly denouncing them might have something to do with it too.
Whereas Trent Lott was a member of the cleaned up White Citizen's Council as recently as 2002 when he was Senate Majority leader.
And to this date I have never heard a denounciation of that vile association from either Lott or any other Senate Republican.
"LAA has always been the main antagonist if you ever notice. I'll admit she's funny as he'll, but that's to hide the pain of not having a man in her life. I don't think she is a bad person once you get to know her. Too bad life must have been so cruel to her."
Why do some always reduce to opinions of black women to needing a man?
Better question:
Why do the women who claim they don't need a man spend all of their waking hours railing about men?

"uptownsteve said...

3:50 PM"
Because they can't take their dildos to court and divorce them, throw them out of their own house, take their kids, sue for child support and / or alimony, and talk about them nasty to their girlfriends.
Just a guess, you understand.
Rev Wite, Larry Craig uses a super-secret code for gay perv sex...gets caught...and you weep crocodile tears for Mary Joe? Why the obsession with Ted? Is it that he lived better than you? Is it that he didn't have to pay for women? Was it that he had the money to avoid folks like you?
Odd that you are not so keen to question the Laura Bush 'accident'. Some innocent died there. Didn't Joe Scarborough lose an intern...to unknown causes...and the quack who did the initial was brought in just for this case? Speaking of harassment...how's Mark Foley? Is Newt still 'hitting' on staffers? Santorum and Toomey are very, very concerned with the sexual habits of their daughters.
Sorry, but weeping fake tears over a long-dead woman so you can be fauxtraged over Ted...only shows you have some unresolved issues.

LAA and FP told you they have a man already. Why do you keep insist they don't?
I left a comment (via me phone) that addresses the sister and some of the assumptions about her by a comment above. I'm not sure if it will be published, so at any rate, here's the post I wrote and was finally able to publish on this story pending her interview with theloop21.com.She is not a Craigslist Skank who sleeps with married men as mentioned in a comment above.

And I can assure you that the Pentagon is going to experience significant cuts -- but probably not in the areas where it is most needed.
The Federal government has to stop acting like they're everybody's sugar daddy and learn to live within their means and the boundaries set for it by the Constitution.
FWIW, I don't see you calling out Obama for being beholden to his paymasters, the Banksters at the Fed and Wall St. Isn't he the one who said, "sometimes you've made enough money". Obama should set an example and turn over the majority of HIS paycheck, since having a good salary, free room and board, by most standards of average Americans, he's "made enough money". Where are the perp walks for the white collar breathtaking criminality at the banks, Freddie and Fannie?

Me thinks you are being hypocritical with that blanket statement, and a little introspection is in order.

rippa, your friend may be a paragon of virtue living the fabulous single life in dc, but she didn't to herself any favors in that loop interview. especially her final comment. she didn't show any concern for the fact that he was cheating on his wife. her "lesson" could have been don't cheat. instead she said, don't be stupid when you cheat. maybe she doesn't troll without regard for who's married, but it sure came off that way. and lots of women do it in DC.
"but she didn't to herself any favors"
Instead of "to", use "do" instead.

Karen, republiclowns tell us how to live in our bedrooms.Dems, on the other hand,tell us how to live in the kitchen. I will take the kitchen. ;)
"Dems, on the other hand,tell us how to live in the kitchen."
And in the bathroom, and out in the yard, and in the car, and in the workplace, and at the restaurant, at the doctor, while shopping, and at school. Did I leave any place out?
