I'm like Obama in that I can't catch a break from you.


Lead off hitting upper .600's is solid my friend.

[WoolyGoat]

being a slap-hitting leadoff hitter in slow pitch softball is something to be proud of.

[BIRD33]

Jealous much?

[WoolyGoat]

yeah totally. way to run out those infield hits!

[BIRD33]

Ego before team.Its my credo.

[WoolyGoat]

admission of wrongdoing or political maneuvering?

"Teachers back then had little training or guidance about this kind of thing," Jennings said. "All teachers should have a basic level of preparedness. I would like to see the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools play a bigger role in helping to prepare teachers."

Sounds like a decent explanation while still admitting he handled it poorly.90% of people who oppose this guy do so because he's gay.

"It's not as though, 'Oh, this was a youthful mistake I made as a brand-new teacher, but now that I'm an adult I realize that I handled it wrong.' Because he has told this story as recently as last year, in another book, and has not expressed any regret until now. So that indicates to me that this is more out of political necessity than it is about genuine remorse," Sprigg told FOX News.

I'm fascinated that you quote a guy from a anti-gay group as some kind of unbiased opinion.Sprigg is part of the Family Research Council which is a "Christian organization promoting the traditional family unit and the Judeo-Christian value system upon which it is built".Would you have me believe that there was any way Jennings would get Spriggs support even if this case with the student 20 years ago didnt exist?No chance right?So why quote him?

Thats what you get for using Fox news as some type of credible news agency.At least you were smart enough to stay away from the quote further down the page from Peter LaBarbera, President of "Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, who said Jennings' reaction was "weak and unacceptable".Goat do you think Peter would have found any explanation acceptable?

I repeat, 90% of people opposed to this guy are opposed because he's gay.Have fun running with that open minded crew.

[WoolyGoat]

just read the quote and ask yourself if it makes sense.

dude gets a high ranking position and as a result he is under fire for some of his past. after years and years of standing by what he had done (with no motivation to apologize), he now has sufficient motivation to say he did something wrong.

I've made decisions early in my career that I certainly wouldnt make today.That seems like a pretty human admission he made and couple that with the fact that there wasnt sufficient training on how to handle situations like that way back then its totally understandable.Not right but understandable.I forgot you have such a pristine standards when it comes to public officials(except the previous 8 years).Since then the guys done a lot of good and many unbiased people who don't think all gays should burn in hell and want to fuck our children think he's a good choice.

[WoolyGoat]

I'm pretty sure you done some things in your job that you think are fine but others might think are bad. You're telling me that if you're lined up for a huge promotion you wouldn't "apologize" just to appease your doubters?

[BIRD33]

"Twenty one years later I can see how I should have handled this situation differently. I should have asked for more information and consulted legal or medical authorities."

Thats what he said in his recent statement.Thats good enough for me but shockingly not for the family council to eradicate gays.He doesnt owe anyone an apology except the kid he failed to give good advice to and who knows where he's on that but its not our business really.

I hope you realize you're basically a pawn in the hands of some groups that hold some pretty disgusting views.

[WoolyGoat]

I'm just wondering out loud if it's a bullshit apology. You're the one who's just believing whatever you hear.

[BIRD33]

You were quoting anti-gay groups as unbiased opinion but I'm the guy believing whatever I hear?LOL as they say.

You've never met the guy or even heard of him until 2 weeks ago but you're qualified to render his apology bullshit?Please pay no attention to his lifetime of good deeds and quality work he's done and focus on what people who take the bible literally have to say on the matter.I'm pretty sure the guys not a creationist so thats like strike 3 against him, right?

Snarg throw in the towel for your boy.I'm killing him.

bird, admit that obama made a bad choice.

Snarg, Do you agree that this gents one misjudgment in the past should disqualify a lifetime of exemplary work?
