AP to break story soon.
UPDATED: OK, I think I can say it’s going to take a while for anything to develop. Not a false alarm necessarily, but there is more work going on behind the scenes than I thought.

Buh-Bye
Define “soon”. 🙂
bring it!
What is posting on the AP soon?
Please be more specific!
Trandahl, my man!
Denny Hastert is gonna have to do the Sgt. Schultz routine, eh?
And what did John Shimkus know about Congressman X and the page?
Soon–depending upon what it takes to get final comments.
Look down at the earlier story for the basic outline, but the story itself is quiet until it breaks.
I hear the details are particularly nasty. Like really really nasty as in the feller (does that rhyme?) is a really really bad guy.
Anyone else notice his campaign website doesn’t work….
How convenient 😉
LOL ponti.
what the hell, is the next headline gonna be “Illinois congressional sex ring exposed.”??
Wonkette has a teaser up. If there’s anything actually illegal in play here, perhaps this particular Congressman could offer up his father-in-law in a plea…
I hate to burst your bubbles, but xxxxx’s campaign site is still up and running. I just went there.
Take a breath. A deep breath.
Um, with all due respect, if you have real news post it, if you don’t, say nothing. Rumor mongering is wasting everyone’s time.
Will Miller be permanently banned for mentioning the name of the alleged abuser?
Dude, it’s a lot easier over here to control my comments–Rich has my complete sympathy–he only commented before I deleted a reference so no harm.
Archpundit:
Of course I was joking with the last post. For dealing with the B.S. he gets on his own site I deserves a free pass on anybody else’s.
And I’m not mad at anyone, I’ve just decided to keep overt references out until the actual story is released. So if I deleted your comment, there are plenty of ways of saying something without being overt.
Skeeter–I made the same joke to him actually–so it’s cool–I just know what a hassle it is for him.
Are you definately sure this is happening today, or will it be tomorrow perhaps?
This individual’s name has gotten out to several hundred thousand people or so by now. If they have the goods, they might as well release it.
Correction:
“Archpundit: Of course I was joking with the last post. For dealing with the B.S. he gets on his own site I THINK HE deserves a free pass on anybody else’s. Posted by: Skeeter on Thursday October 19, 2006.”
I need to edit my own work better.
LOL, Skeeter. Sorry, Larry. I saw someone else mention THE NAME THAT SHALL NOT BE UTTERED and figured it was open season over here. Either way, the rumors are now completely, totally out of hand and being fueled by idiots, which is all I was trying to point out.
>>LOL, Skeeter. Sorry, Larry. I saw someone else mention THE NAME THAT SHALL NOT BE UTTERED and figured it was open season over here.
It’s Voldemort’s fault?
===Are you definately sure this is happening today, or will it be tomorrow perhaps?
I think the 48 hour window from last night is probably the best bet–but there were rumors about which news organizations were going with it last night. I know that AP has the story and is gathering comments. When they release–I can’t confirm that until they do. My guess is sooner than the 48 hour window, but I am not in control of when they go to press.
I know it’s a bit frustrating for everyone, but I do have good information that the story is in play which I’m wiling to say, but without direct sources to the events, I’m only reporting on the reporting for now.
And no problem Rich–I was literally deleting a comment as you posted so I understand and got quite a laugh out of it.
Anyone have any quotes ready by “so and so” on the Foley matter?
Yes, Adrian. It’s all in the can.
And I know other sites have it up–I’m waiting on someone with direct information on sources tied to the events.
Dumb question but, does AP here stand for “Associated Press” or “ArchPundit”?
“tied to the events” lol
> I hate to burst your bubbles, but xxxxx’s campaign site is still up and running. I just went there. Take a breath. A deep breath.
Sure looks down to me. But maybe it could just be pounded with traffic? (His congressional site is up.)
Well, then. It seems we all what’s going to happen, and who is involved. Is someone cache-ing his entire website for ironic snark afterwards?
Ummm…good question–associated press
> Anyone have any quotes ready by “so and so” on the Foley matter?
Not quite the same, but Wonkette just posted a screenshot of an ABC story featuring a photo of so-and-so standing behind Foley at a press conference.
“[fullname].com” is not working and I’m not sure it ever did this cycle.
“[lastname]4congress.com” is working and appears up to date.
politics1.com looks like it has the wrong listing for the person’s campaign site.
I just wanna that you Arch for keeping a clean ship here! I’m new here and I have to say that I like the way you are running things. Frustrating a bit that you won’t spill the beans yet, but completely understand and agree…. kudoos
wanna thank, not wanna that !
While keeping an eye on the Illinois AP wire the only new news is that Mike Brown is officially out for the season.
Damnit
“soon”? did you get that from jason leopold?
i’m just saying…

This is probably separate, but I think Foleygate is just getting warmed up.
Wow, he who will not be named has at the top of his page the following “Working HARD, Making a DIFFERENCE.”
It is even better, if you read so and so’s bio on his website. He is another one of those child predator/internet protection act ‘sponsors!’ Oh, and his father-in-law is a former Central American dictator! I doubt Papi will be happy to see his little girl dragged into a scandal….
Ooooooof, on the update. Just don’t tell us when you said 48 hours you really meant 48 BUSINESS hours.
48 hours from last night is still the likely scenario from what I understand–that said, read Rich’s site for the only complete take on what has been happening.
If this is what I think it is, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. But if I were him, I’d be afraid of his wife…
This silliness of winks and nods then censorship of certain names being mentioned, then the whole thing being a false rumor that everyone was blowing smoke on … ridiculous.
Are IL Dems still getting their troops ready to hit the ground when this story does break?
