WHO KNEW CONGRESSMAN FOLEY WAS A CLOSETED DEMOCRAT?

This week's chit chat

http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/welcome.cgi

In 1983, Democratic congressman Gerry Studds was found to have sexually propositioned House pages and actually buggered a 17-year-old male page whom he took on a trip to Portugal. The 46-year-old Studds indignantly attacked those who criticized him for what he called a "mutually voluntary, private relationship between adults."

When the House censured Studds for his sex romp with a male page, Studds — not one to be shy about presenting his backside to a large group of men — defiantly turned his back on the House during the vote.

Does Congressman Foley's penchant for dirty internet interactions with underage boys remind you of anyone, Zippy?

Eh. More of a "throw everything against the wall and see if something will stick" than anything. A few inaccuracies and distortions in it as well, but why let truth get in the way of a good rant?

What was mistaken? I think we should nail Foley to the wall, but I do find it ironic how Democrats blame the GOP for not watchdogging their own, yet couldnt give a damn about the Studds thing when it happened. Bringing up shady acts by Democrats isn't a defense for what happened with Foley, its a response to the Democrat's use of this situation for political gain.

The following is a blog from a site better known for it liberary of Op-Ed Cartoons. Blogs IIRC are done monthly. And this one fits in here rather well.

However, this instance of a Democrat was over 20 years ago!

Everytime I see that username I want to rant, so here goes:

Ann Coulter is one of the least attractive women I've ever seen who's been presented as a "pretty blonde haired woman with controversial viewpoints."

People had the nerve to say that she's frowned upon because she's a pretty woman with certain viewpoints. No, it's because she's a woman (minus the pretty) with an obnoxious way of expressing some over-the-top ideas for the purpose of becoming infamous and selling some books. "Let's throw everything and the kitchen sink in there and hopefully something will be relevant." She doesn't even present most of her viewpoints in an educated and sensical manner for her to be praised as the postergirl for anything.

Society definitely has lowered expectations.
