Former Representative Mark Foley of Florida has checked himself into a rehabilitation facility for alcoholism treatment, as Republican leaders in Florida and Washington spent the day trying to contain the political damage of reports that the congressman engaged in sexually explicit communications with Congressional pages.
this is great stuff. i love this guy (and i dont love a lot of republicans). i only hope he would run again. shit, i would move to florida to vote for him. to quote a comedian ....hes the rosetta stone of comedy. lets do the timeline on this nutcase....
1. he runs for congress. he doesnt tell anyone hes gay. he denies being gay despite rumors. he quits one race entirely because of the whole gay thing. finally hes voted in...
2. while in congress he rails against people who prey on underage children. hes a shill for the republican party. he seems almost too good to be true (he is)...
3. hes hitting on teenage pages using text messages. those kids didnt erase them (would you). hes warned by other republicans about this while they gently sweep it under the carpet. fortunately the shitstorm gets too big and....
4. he resigns. the republicans who were trying to cover this up got tired of sweeping and unceremoniously throw him under the bus. talk of the fbi getting involved and of charges spin him right into rehab where he.....
5. blames alcoholism. i guess alcohol makes you hit on underage boys. i've been drunk and i never did that. this doesnt seem to work for him. as a matter of fact everyone laughs even harder at him. he needs to pull out the big gun so he......
6. says he was molested as a child by someone in the clergy. ok , so now we have a gay republican pedophile whos turning on religion. this should really help the party this fall.
i'm almost afraid to post this because he will do or say something so funny in the time it takes for this to upload. this story just keeps getting better and better.
well enjoy your thursday and no matter what remember that your day is going better than mark foleys.
ps:
"In a radio interview with 700 WLW radio in Cincinnati, House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) placed responsibility for the Foley matter not being handled properly on House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL).
"I believe I talked to the Speaker and he told me it had been taken care of," said Boehner. "And, and, and my position is it's in his corner, it's his responsibility. The Clerk of the House who runs the page program, the Page Board—all report to the Speaker. And I believe it had been dealt with.""
i told you things happen so fast a had to add this blurb 5 minutes after posting.

It never ceases to amaze me how as soon as some celebrity/politician gets into trouble of some kind - the first defense is rehab for drugs/alcohol abuse and the second is childhood trauma of some kind. It's the same defense murderers use except for the rehab part.
its tried and true. dont apologize...deflect. stick with the basics is what i always say. dont reinvent the wheel
