::)MARK FOLEY'S OPRAH DEFENSE
Fri Oct 6, 6:16 AM ET
Having checked in to "rehab," after it was revealed that he had written salacious e-mails and instant messages to pages, Foley shoved his lawyer out front to say he was an alcoholic, gay and had been abused by a clergyman as a boy.
What is Foley up to?
Rather than speak directly to the charge against him -- that he is a homosexual with the hots for teenage boys -- Foley's lawyer is entering a plea, in the court of public opinion, of diminished capacity.
Foley is portraying himself not as a sexual predator out to pick up boys, an unappealing figure, but a victim of compulsive forces over which he had no control and for which he cannot be held accountable.
Call it the Larry King-Oprah defense. Even as he takes "full responsibility" for his lewd and lascivious conduct, his lawyer implies he didn't know what he was doing. The e-mails and IMs were sent in an alcoholic-induced stupor -- between votes on the House floor
Will it work? Perhaps. The shamed and shunned Foley will appear increasingly as a figure of interest, and then of sympathy, in our forgiving society. Offers of six-figure book advances are probably in the mail.
What does the episode say about Speaker Hastert and the GOP? Surely, it speaks poorly of their executive decisiveness, though, thus far, it does not speak all that badly of them as human beings.
All of them knew Foley was gay. All of them had to recognize that the early e-mails -- where Foley was asking for a picture of a departed page now 1,000 miles away -- were warning flags.
With this limited knowledge, Foley's colleagues did what Fox News and the Miami Herald did. They chose not to reveal the e-mails, which would have outed Foley, ruined his career and destroyed his life, as they had no evidence he had committed any indecent act with the pages under their supervision.
Two decades ago, Gerry Studds of Massachusetts attempted the seduction of several pages, and had an affair with one and took him off on a European tryst. Though censured, Studds was re-elected five times and given a chairmanship by the Democratic Party of Nancy Pelosi -- which now professes itself sickened at how Denny Hastert and Co. tried to protect the homosexual in their midst, who, while committing sins of desire, has, as far as we know, committed no lewd or indecent act.
Would this be the same Democratic Party that supports giving condoms to junior-high students and booed the Boy Scout honor guard at its Los Angeles Convention in 2000, because the Scouts refuse to permit homosexuals to be scoutmasters and take kids camping?
Hillary Clinton has marched in the annual New York Gay Pride Parade. For years, that parade had a float carrying members of NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, whose monomania is the elimination of the age of consent for sex between men and boys.
Alfred Kinsey in "Sexual Behavior and the American Male" reported on experiments he himself oversaw to prove the psychic benefits of sex between men, boys, tots and even infants. And this sicko had a Hollywood movie, "Kinsey," starring Liam Neeson, celebrate his genius.
In Washington, D.C., the most Democratic precinct in America, the age of consent is 16. Had Foley and his heartthrob skipped off to a motel, there would have been no crime involved. Yet Foley has the FBI on his trail for sending lewd e-mails to a 16-year-old.
If the Republican House leadership is guilty of anything, it is of being too tolerant, of allowing Political Correctness, a fear of being called homophobic, to trump common sense.
Whether we admit it or not, many male homosexuals have a thing for teenage boys, which is why so many of them wind up with black eyes when they try to pick them up.
The GOP leadership should have seen instantly, from the early e-mails, that Foley was one of these, and followed up to see if there was more than one page with whom he was flirting. If the pages knew Foley was someone to steer clear of, why did not the leadership?
Yet, even if the GOP takes the hit in November for this sordid, squalid mess, the party of gay activists is setting the bar mighty high for its libertine wing. If salacious e-mails to teens are now a capital crime, Foley is not going to be the last congressmen outed and ousted.

So do you guys think he is a republican pervert because he is gay, a christian, or republican?

he = meaning Ted Haggard? Bisexual is my guess.Oh I think he's definitely gay. You get those from time to time. They are so ashamed by their homosexuality and can't accept themselves for who they are, so they overcompensate. In Ted Haggart's case, this would be by being overly homophobic. I knew one guy who was a "playa" and slept with tons of girls before he finally came out. Some get married. It's kind of sad really. Sad in a pathetic sort of way.
Gentle Readers,Wow, I knew that many Republicans and evangelicals were hypocrites and there were a lot of closeted gay ones and such, but looking at this list, there are so many! I never realized. Somehow those like Rush and Sean Hannity will find some way to blame it on Clinton and the "liberal" media.
With only thirty-nine days until the American mid-term elections, I thought it might be neat to list a daily Republican pervert.
Hal,"how is this possible" you might ask? Certainly there is no way you could find the name of thirty-nine Republican perverts...not withen the party of family values. It's sheer madness to even try...impossible you say.
Well tune in everday kiddies...sorta like a daily horoscope of Republican hypocrisy and slime.
Number One: Republican Mayor Philip Giordano is serving a 37-year sentence in federal prison for sexually abusing 8 and 10-year old girls.
Only thirty-eight to go.
Oh I think he's definitely gay.
