A KISS AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW
|
The latest revelation in the Foley political scandal doesn't sit well with me. I hate to even refer to it as a scandal, as though it is a plotline on Desperate Housewives (Desperate Politicians?).
So he gets in hot water for his inappropriate communications with young male Capitol Hill interns. Now suddenly all this other trauma in his life comes out. He's in rehab. He was drunk when he wrote the messages. He has mental issues. He was abused by a member of the clergy.
"Mark does not blame the trauma he sustained as a young adolescent for his totally inappropriate" e-mails and instant messages, Roth [Foley's Attorney] said. "He continues to offer no excuse whatsoever for his conduct."
I call bullshit. Isn't that exactly what he's doing? He isn't specifically saying that's what caused him to do it, but yet Roth goes on to say that Foley "was under the influence of alcohol when he wrote the notes." That sounds like an excuse to me.
His attorney [officially] says that Foley is gay. Wonderful. Though, there might be a slight delay in receiving your official newsletter, membership card, and toaster oven. How is that part of his 'recovery'?
The HRC has this to say.
"Gay or straight, Democrat or Republican, it is completely inexcusable for an adult to have this kind of communication with a minor. Congressman Foley brought shame on himself and this Congress by his horrible behavior and complete lack of judgment. We strongly condemn his behavior."
Maybe he won't even been getting his toaster oven at all. |
