Is seems democrats are demanding that all Congressional homosexual activity be reported and dealt with by the leader? Can that be right?

I think so too... >>>>>PajamaMedia in response to Feldman's comments: Something About StopSexPredators May Not Smell Right: pajamasmedia.com PJM in SeattleOctober 1, 2006 5:27 PM If you’ve thought the Mark Foley story was strange sit down, because still stranger things seem to be afoot. Clarice Feldman @ The American Thinker notices an obscure blog StopSexPredators and does a little thinking and digging. From her article on Foley and the Blame Game, “In July a blog appeared, designed it said to trace sex predators. Few posts were made in that month or the following month. All recounted years old stories. Then on September 18, the blog printed the fairly innocuous email exchange between Congressman Foley and an unnamed page…. How likely is it that this site with virtually no readership , few posts and hardly any history or posts of interest suddenly receives this bombshell? I’d say slight. About as likely as Lucy Ramirez handing Burkett Bush’s TANG papers.” There’s more there about the origin of the story and the provenance of the emails in the Foley case. RWNH picks up the thread with: “Why would anyone notice this blog? It has posted nothing original in its short existence. The rare postings means that it has not built up any audience whatsoever. The first Technorati reference to the blog is from two days ago. Even a Google search doesn’t show it on the first 10 pages when searching for “Stop Sex Predators.” “And yet, 3 separate people who had contact with Congressman Foley somehow found this website independent of one another and supposedly sent emails to the owner of this site to complain about Foley’s inappropriate behavior.” Just One Minute smells a rat: “Apparently the Mark Foley story first broke on this new blog, StopSexPredartors.blogspot.com, which started in July and brought down the Congressional leadership with its sixth, seventh and eighth posts.” River City Mud Bugle tracks the history of the blog in question and provides links and text from an attempt to surface the story on Daily Kos: “Two hours later, someone writing under the name “WHInternNow” published a diary on Daily Kos linking to Stop Sex Predators. The diary was met with skepticism from Daily Kos users, and received only a few largely critical comments. “This diary makes an accusation,” one commenter wrote, “a serious accusation, but provides no evidence to back it up.” All in all, it has been a long weekend on this story and the week ahead looks to be longer still. Tracking…. UPDATE: Blog P.I makes this observation in “Real Scandal, Fake Blog”: “If we’re defining success as getting the story into the mainstream media without the source being publicly identified, then yes, it was a success. If success is defined as getting the story into the blogosphere without the vehicle being identified as an impostor, not so much.” UPDATE: FBI Opens “Preliminary Investigation” of Foley. “Agents in the FBI’s Cyber Division have already begun to examine the texts of some of the messages, according to a FBI spokesperson.” Will they also examine the ownership and nature of StopSexPredators?
