JWG:
1) Impor is pissed because he set me up for a fall with the Archie and Gopher question, and it didn’t work out like he planned;
2) I already explained that “HookerGate” hadn’t caught on, and it might not, so that looking for it was like looking for it where you wished it was, not where it might be – hence, the “drunk and the streetlight jibe” (“reason” to be pissed off #2);
3) Liberals only apologize to “oppressed minorities”; never to conservatives.

Thanks for jumping in, JWG.

you are either an idiot or a dissembler

Hey freaken google genius, Impor…
Try adding an “s” to prostitute…
“FOGGO WILKES PROSTITUTES” under google news: 866
You owe Frank an apology. You are the idiot. Again.

Frank- you are either an idiot or a dissembler, the original post was called “Hookergate: When Will The Press Start Following This?” and this thread is about prostitutes as they relate to Porter Goss and Dusty Foggo being at parties thrown by Wilkes where there were PROSTITUES in attendance, HOOKERS, LADIES OF THE NIGHT, HOS, STRUMPETS, WOMEN OF EASY VIRTUE. Googling;

Duke Cunningham +Foggo

about 487 hits

Duke Cunningham +Wilkes

about 583 hits

doesn’t give any indication of how many stories about PROSTITUES and Porter Goss’s reasons for suddenly resigning from the CIA are in the Main Stream Media. Googling;

Goss + prostitue& got SIX!

does! By the way my money is on idiot. Again I ask do you even read the posts before you reply?

Frank, you test people all the time and rip them to shreads when they don’t pass with flying colors, and particularly when they don’t agree with you.

Kudos to you and Impor for sharing information.

Next time you’re giving me a test, be kind enough to let me know…

“Duke Cunningham” +Foggo

about 487 hits

“Duke Cunningham” +Wilkes

about 583 hits

Impor: You’re like the drunk looking for his dropped car keys down the block from where his car was, under the streetlight, because that’s where the light was!

Hey Fellas, You searched for Foggo and got lots of hits. I just searched for Foggo prostitute and got SEVEN! Try plugging this in your browser of choice. Being one of those annoying Apple folks mine is Safari. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=foggo%20prostitute&btnG=Search&sa=N&tab=wn Kinda slim pickins eh?

I’ve gotta give Frank credit, he knew what I was referring to.

Gopher is not “a gopher”. Gopher and archie (without looking them up) are old browser prototypes, like the original, mosaic.
Now I’ll look them up:
You were right, and so was I. There is “a gopher” and “gopher”:

Archie, Gopher, Veronica and Jughead are three standard “finding” tools on the Internet. The Archie database is made up of the file directories from hundreds of systems. When you search this database on the basis of a file’s name, Archie can tell you which directory paths on which systems hold a copy of the file you want.

My Internet experience began with Netscape, before Gates came out with Internet Explorer.
Now I use Mozilla, and rely on newsletters from Talia Calishain, Gary Price and Chris Sherman, as well as other not so great “search engine luminaries” to keep up with the web, hidden, and not hidden.

I d never heard of it before.

Considering you didn’t know how to use it to know about all the media outlets reporting on the Foggo/Wilkes prostitution connections, you “inadvertantly” made yourself look fairly ignorant. Those of us pointing out the media reports were not “inadvertantly” making Republicans look bad since they were doing that themselves and the media was already reporting it.

Thanks for the heads up about Google Frank. I’d never heard of it before. Just an off topic question for you here. Do you know what a gopher is, or archie?

When we re looking for stories on HookerGate, you point us to one story at a TV station in Montana.

Good grief Quaker…you’re usually smarter than this. Name a mainstream news source that has NOT reported on Foggo and Wilkes being invloved in/investigated for prostitution. In reality, they are all reporting on the prostitution angle.

Quaker, you’re slipping! I was pointing out that the names came from the article Oliver originally posted!

And, the name “HookerGate” hasn’t caught on. Perhaps because “_____Gate” is overused?

Roni, you still here?

The disconnect is right here

Correct answer, Frank.

When we’re looking for stories that indicate “mainstream media” interest in Foggo and Wilkes, you point us to 2,000 hits on Google News.

When we’re looking for stories on HookerGate, you point us to one story at a TV station in Montana.

You have correctly identified the disconnect between Oliver’s question and your response.

It s just fun to fuck with the vacuous space you rent in your head.
The ignorant are easily amused.

Frank, just wondering if your response to JK is your definition of intelligent, versus ignorant, input …?

JK, the whole Let s send Frank to Australia game began with the idea that you were so much smarter than everyone, that it would please you greatly if everyone who was less smart than you would leave the country.
After reading your posts for a while, I m convinced that there aren t really very many people in the world less smart than you.
If we were to remove from that group the people who have no desire to go to Australia, we could probably get them on one of those small jets that seats about 16 – 24 passengers.
Since there are so many, many, many, people who are smarter than you, and so very, very, very few people who want to go to Australia, I suggest you join them.
I ll bet you, if we passed the hat around only this blog, we could dig up the price of a ticket for you in no time.
Don t leave without this.

Roni, you witless moron: I meant commenting on this thread.

LOL … I know you were commenting on the thread, Frank. It’s just fun to fuck with the vacuous space you rent in your head.

Roni, you witless moron: I meant commenting on this thread. I wasn’t banishing myself to Siberia. If you persist in commenting on commenters, without ever commenting on a topic, why, Why, WHY do you persist in making comments?

Impor: Those links exist on the Internet. Perhaps you think that I labored for hours to find them (maybe you think it’s magic*), but actually it involved about 4 steps, and three minutes work.

If you choose to think of that as a great, “inadvertent” contribution to the Quixotic cause of “bringing down Bush before 2008,” I pity you.

Hey Fellas- This is the part of my comment you should think about, “I d like to think that you re just doing your part to spread awareness of this Republican bribery and sex scandal. Thanks for the help, though I think it may have been inadvertent.” It is becoming obvious to me how truly inadvertent it is. Do you realize that you’re making a compendium of links that advertise the fact that it is very likely that Republican members of Congress and the CIA are deeply involved in a scandal involving prostitutes, bribery, insider contracts with unvetted ex-felons at the Homeland Security Department and cronyism at the CIA? Again I say thanks for the help. I’ll be sending those links on to my conservative friends sitting on the fence. You are living proof of the truth of this blog’s title. Sorry Oliver, it was just to true not to point it out.
