The Hours of Foley are Measured by the Clock, but of Wisdom no Clock can Measure

Please forgive me William Blake. I'm sure your spinning in your grave from that little misappropriation. But when I first saw that Foley had resigned and with his name being unfamiliar, my first thought was "Please, oh please, let him be be a Republican. This is going to be so much fun if he is a Republican". I knew I was going to have to write about it. It is just too rich. Here we have a member of the party of Virtue, defenders of traditional society from the radical encroachment of homosexuals, and the party of personal responsibility, let us not forget, talking dirty to some young boys. I could feel the spin machines revving up to full throttle, with a stressed out Scottsmen down below yelling up "I'm giving it all she's got, Captain, any more and she's boun' to blow".

We ARE talking spin machines here, not Monica Lewinsky this time. But what can I say when so many are saying it for me or in spite of reality in the case of some apologists.

Scarborough tells Democrats to Shut Up or We'll Bring up Studds*:

I would suggest that Democrats remember Napoleon’s advice that one should never interfere when your enemy is destroying himself. Dems should keep quiet so not to open themselves up to charges of hypocrisy. After all, their party did little when one of their colleagues had a homosexual affair with a 17 year old intern—engaging in sex with the teen in his Georgetown apartment and then taking him to Portugal to carry on the illicit affair. The disgraced representative remained in Congress for another decade and was never stripped of anything other than his clothes by the teenage boy.

Matt Drudge: It’s the slutty little fag-bitches fault:
(some psychic friends of mine were kind enough to provide Drudges thoughts in brackets)

And if anything, these kids are less innocent — these 16 and 17 year-old [hot, sweaty and bareskinned] beasts…and I've seen what they're doing on YouTube and I've seen what they're doing all over the internet — oh yeah [you filthy little boy-sluts] — you just have to tune into any part of their pop culture [ and I tune in every possible chance I get]. You're not going to tell me these are innocent babies [they are hot filthy boy toys, just how I like'em]. Have you read the transcripts that ABC posted going into the weekend of these instant messages, back and forth? [I have, over and over, each and every perverse, disgusting minute of it] The kids are
egging the Congressman on [harder and faster]! The kids are trying to get this out of him. We haven't got the whole story on this. [ and I'm not gonna stop investigating it till I get the money shot]

AND

You could say "well Drudge, it's abuse of power, a congressman abusing these impressionable, young 17 year-old beasts, talking about their sex lives with a grown man, on the internet." [And if he was a Democrat, I would be too.] Because you have to remember, those of us who have seen some of the transcripts of these nasty instant messages [every filthy, disgusting word of it, over and over]. This was two ways [front door and back door, oh yeah], ladies and gentlemen. These kids were playing Foley for everything he was worth. Oh yeah [, the dirty little boy fags, I would like to give them everything I was worth, I would give them an up and down vote on my bill]. Oh, I haven't…[but I sure would like to] they were talking about how many times they'd masturbated, how many times they'd done it with their girlfriends this weekend…all these things and these "innocent children." And this "poor" congressman sitting there typing, "oh am I going to get any," you know? [I know that's what I was thinking, how many times those hot young boys were masturbating, shirtless.]

Drudge, your sick dude.


The Let's Look Like We are OK with Gays, Just not THOSE Gays Strategy:
"All I want, frankly, is a gay person in office who is not a sexual compulsive"


The Same Strategy with a Hint of Did the Democrats do this as an October Surprise:
From Mr. Tolerance himself, Orielly: "It wasn't an issue at all until now"


The Same Strategy with a We Care about Gay People Smidgen Thrown In:
GOP would have "been accused of gay bashing"


Michelle Malkin eats her own:
At Least She Is Consistent, No Apologies, None of her typical Right-Wing Slack Cutting.
Possibly the first time I had a modicum of respect for this particular cup of crazy.


WSJ: Democrats are hypocrites, Or Lets Bring Up Studds*
(and Barney Frank, even though it was his boyfriend who was the pimp).


It was the booze talking, Tony Snow chastises Democrats
He considered it unfortunate that "people are thinking, 'OK, can I get political advantage out of this'." Republicans would never try to get a political advantage from a sex scandal, OH NOOOOOOOOOO. If I had been at that press conference, I'd be doing that thing from Animal House where you say "bullshit" when you cough.

The Oxycontin has Made Rush paranoid
Limbaugh: "Democrats set Foley up" or the anal cysts that kept him out of Vietnam are eating into his brain.


Page's Parents at Fault says some idiot poster
While just a simple message board troll, proof that idiocy is across the board.


A product of Dianetics?
It was the Thetons that made him do it.


Party of Responsibility, my Ass
Botox Queen and self righteous ass says Repugs didn't know, but the media and Democrats did, and heads will roll because "our children were at stake."


It’s the Democrats fault again.
They did it first, and didn't have the decency to resign.
AKA: The Republicans-do-the-abominable-things-before-they-do-the-decent-thing-and-resign,
Democrats-do-the-abominable-things,-and-then-do-more-abominable-things,-like-keep-beating-Republicans
Strategy. I mean you must really suck to get beat repeatably by a guy who gets caught banging a 17 year old boy*.


GOP Hack gets pwned.
I wish the rest of the Democratic Party would grow a set of testicles like this dude. Fat chance I know, but a guy's got to dream, not in the same way Foley dreamed about "growing" sets of testicles though.


Foley Contributes big around the same time his previous "overly friendly" emails were "ignored".
Move along now, there is nothing to see here.


It's a priests fault:
If I had known he was an altar boy, I would have seen this coming.


Ben Stein: Democrats being the party of Gays should shut up and 22 is "barely legal".
He says Clinton had barely legal Monica "give him oral sex kneeling under his desk in the Oval Office while he talked on the phone to a Congressional Committee Chairman, took great pleasure in putting a cigar in her orifice and then smelling it and tasting it, and having her fellate him". Orifice? Me thinks Ben needs to get laid. But "misguided" Republican had a "romantic thing for young boys" & "a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys" Boy, and they say that defending Clinton is defending the indefensible. Its ok for him to say that because his best friend is gay. He doesn't mention who this is, I wonder why? Maybe it was that pedophile Jeffrey Jones who played the principal in "Ferris Bueller".


James Buchanan. Wow.
"Even worse, there are plans to change the Republican Party to make it just as Gay-friendly as the Democrats." He should borrow some Oxycontin off of Rush and get laid with Ben Stein.

I (nor they) just can't stop!
Gary Bauer is the guy the blogger at Jesus' General is always reminding is not a homosexual.


*In Case you don't remember the Studds Scandal from 23 years ago:
BTW, It doesn't end 23 years ago. "Studds and his longtime partner, Dean Hara, who had been together since 1991, applied for one of the first gay-marriage licenses and were married in Boston in 2005, one week after same-sex marriages became legal in Massachusetts." See this comes full circle around to Gay Marriage!
