If you're a Republican, watch out! The Democrats are gonna crush you.
With the mid term elections coming up in less than four weeks time, focus on the Mark Foley scandal couldn't have come at a worse time. Then again, how do you prepare for sleaze of massive proportions or spin pedophilia?
You can't!
Foley, a fellow Republican congressman, resigned late last week after e-mails and instant messages surfaced where he blatantly asked teenaged male pages explicit questions and requested photographs of them. Not only did he ask the most innapropriate questions, he also masturbated in his office while it was happening. When he was confronted about this, he blamed his behavior on alcoholism.
The pages in question were under age and it's also alleged that this misconduct goes well beyond this year. It's been suggested, by a new witness, that he's been up to no good with minors on capital hill for years.
No kidding?!
Sickest irony of all:
Foley chaired the House caucus on missing and exploited children and was credited with writing the sexual-predator provisions of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, which Bush signed in July. A photo on the White House Web site shows Foley among those attending the signing ceremony.
The house of representatives' ethics committee has launched an investigation into the scandal and approved four dozen subpoenas for documents and testimony.
So, there will be a trial and all this ugliness will come out in court, but clearly they can't tell us anything we haven't already heard a million times before. The man's a preditor of the worst kind and sadly, there are likely to be countless others just like him hiding behind their precious titles in Washington. Spare us...Please!
