From Crooks and Liars (has full transcript).

DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel was scheduled to debate RCCC Chairman Thomas Reynolds on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Entangled in the Foley page scandal himself, Reynolds ducked the debate, sending Rep. Adam Putnam in his stead.

Emanuel gives a nearly perfect performance. He easily dispels Putnam's attempts to blames the Democrats for the scandal. In the end, Putnam's attacks appear desperate and hollow.

I don't suppose it matters that the page in question is 21 and was 18 when these IM's took place does it? Nah i guess not...the facts should never get in the way of a good story.

It matters that it's been going on since 1997, and when he wanted to retire, they urged him to re-run.

Why do Republicans want to keep sexual predators in office?

Wumpus, what does it matter what his age now is? That sounds like you are trying to stretch things. First of all, the outed IM page is a false flag operation. Cast doubts on one page, and you blur what happened with the others.

Facts, the emails that started this all off came from a 16 yrs old.
Fact, three other IM chat logs have come out, from other pages.
Fact, Foley met these pages in a Congressional young intern program.
Fact, Foley took pages out to dinner alone (had to get parental consent)
and showed up drunk at the page dorm bldg drunk at 10pm trying to get in.

Fact, Rove outs ONE page and claims his IM chat was when he was 17/18
so people like Wumpus throw out the whole conversation and ignore everything
else. Did you know this page you claim was 18 and is now 21.. .in fact works
for the Istook campaign in OK, and Rove just two days ago spoke at a fundraiser
for Istook. And this page is now represented by the lawyer for Timothy McVeigh.
