'Simply Naughty Emails' - White House Spins Foleygate


Update: Foley sought to rendezvous with page at night -- and -- Conservatives Call on Hastert to Resign!!

“I hate to tell you, but it’s not always pretty up there on Capitol Hill. And there have been other scandals, as you know, that have been more than simply naughty e-mails.” -- Tony Snow, spinning Foleygate on CNN (video)

Whoa! Keep this man away from jobs that have anything to do with protecting children from pedophiles!

"Simply naughty emails?" A fifty-two year old Congressman coming on to 15 and 16 year old kids is "simply naughty emails?" Or did White House spokesman, Tony Snow mean to say, '... simply naughty emails when the pedophile is a member of my One Grand Old Party that rules this country?'

I know it's all about holding on to power and winning the upcoming election Tony, but you aren't on Fox News anymore. As White House spokesman, shouldn't you refrain from minimalizing the abhorrent behavior of pedophiles?

And what's this about other scandals? Are we talking about Clinton's consensual affair with an adult, or Janet Jackson's breast?

I think I was married to Tony Snow once. Whenever he walked all over my feelings and I thought we should talk about it, he'd point out that I hurt him once upon a time, so what was the big deal?

Dialog is so yesterday in this White House. Why listen and adjust your worldview accordingly when you can strut around like the official tone deaf one way communicator for the bubble boys in charge of wrecking this country?

Simply naughty emails? God! No wonder I despise this White House.
