Former Congressional Representative Mark Foley, who is accused of sending sexually suggestive emails to teenage boys, checked himself into a clinic for "alcohol addiction". Hmmm. Is this guy suggesting that liquor made him like young males? I've been drunk more than a few times in my life, and my intoxication has never triggered any interest in teenage boys. Thank God I never drank whatever Mark Foley was drinking. That must have been some strong shit.
I hope no one falls for this desperate ploy. At the very most, alcohol would have given this pervert a pair of pederist beer goggles and he would have sent explicit emails to less attractive teenage boys. It's like Mel Gibson blaming alcohol for his anti-Semitism. I know America is fucking stupid, but I can't believe it's stupid enough to buy this bill of goods.
But wait, there's more! Now it seems that Foley was molested by a clergyman when he was fifteen. So he was betrayed by a trusted authority figure, huh? At least he can empathize with his victims.
If I was a lawyer working for Mark Foley, I'd be one low-life son of a bitch...but that's not the point. If I was his lawyer I'd be working on other excuses:
"His dog ate his homework." It worked for me in elementary school.
"He was merely trying to see which of the teenagers were overly gullible so he could warn their parents." What an invaluable public servant.
"Well, Bill Clinton blah blah blah blah." When you're addressing a hardcore conservative it really doesn't matter what you say after "Bill Clinton".
"His soul was momentarily possessed by Satan." He could sell his story to Weekly World News. And maybe get it on with Bat Boy while he's at it.
Oh, and it seems like the Republican leaders of Congress have known about this for a long time. I suppose loyalty is a "family value", but loyalty to a predator for political convenience is just sick. And if the Democrats knew about this and waited till election time to drop the bomb, well fuck them too.
Finally, I leave you with a quote from Mark Foley himself, who crafted legislation to protect children from online predators: "If you even contemplate using the internet to solicit children, your life will be ruined." Bingo, motherfucker.

If he goes to jail, he'll finally be able to explore that homosexual side of himself that he's been repressing all these years.
I think he suffers from multiple personality disorder. The personality that sodomizes teenage boys is clearly a democrat.
it's a sad world after all.
ps our country won't survive if we turn this into a democrat versus republican issue...
I heard that Foley wanted the President to lob some bombs into North Korea some time over the next few days.
M, you are so spot on about not making this a republican v. democrat issue.
If there was one crime that you'd think everyone could rise as one and condemn, you'd think it was pedophilia.
I am disgusted, and one of the saddest things about this whole sad affair is that everyone seems focused on the "scandal," and no one seems focused on making sure young people are properly protected.
"Well, Bill Clinton blah blah blah blah."
I use this excuse all the time! It's quite handy.
brilliant! so so right on the money!
Man, if anyone is going to break down that *particular* line of horrible, bad reasoning, it's you. "Pederast beer goggles," indeed.
And, yeah, here's hoping that we get some genuine concern, decency, and a productive fix from both parties on this one.
I'm drunk.
All I know is that if Bill Clinton were here right now, I'd be hollering "SHAZAM!"
Shocking.
