I'm shocked. Aren't you?
Foley's lawyer made a statement this evening about the former Representative having been molested as a young man.
Oh, and by the way, the lawyer said: "Mark Foley wants you to know he is a gay man."
What a damn shame that the poor man spent his whole life in the closet, told by both his religion and his political beliefs that his impulses were wrong. So closeted he had to take it out on a bunch of kids, just like some other poor closeted clergyman (more violently) took it out on him. Why don't we get it yet? Keeping people from admitting their sexual preference doesn't make it go away.

Have you seen the Fox News spin...er...fair and balanced coverage of this story? Apparently it's all part of a Democrat pre-election plot that this came out now, nevermind that Hastert's top aide knew about it a year ago. And the best Fox trick: let's tell people he's a Democrat! Shameless doesn't even begin to describe these people...
I don't think it's fair to say that the clergyman who molested Foley was gay. It is all too easy for homosexuality and pedophilia to be confused.
You're absolutely right, and I don't want to be someone who encourages that confusion. Thanks for pointing that out.
