Congressman Foley Resigns

First he checks into rehab, now he says he was molested by a priest when he was a kid:

Oh come on... this is terrible. Even if it WERE true (which personally I have serious doubts about) that he was molested, it is not an excuse for what he did. It is not an appropriate time to bring it up. It's a very see-through tactic to try to divert some attention away from what he did back to the whole priest thing.

I am completely disgusted by Foley's antics - as I have been with the others before him.

As for the "I was molested..." plea, I could scream! That nutjob out in Lancaster claimed the same thing, as did Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and several other men I know. So, what do we do? Waste the child before he has a chance to grow up and molest someone else?

I just find it really odd hearing Brian Williams and all the other reporters reading the text on the IM's. Seriously, did you ever think you'd hear Brian Williams, (or Charlie Gibson or whomever) say, "Take it out and touch it." bwahahha. It only could be better if good ole Dan Rather was still anchoring. Can you imagine? Dan Rather reading aloud, "Do I make you hot?" Bwahahahhahahahah.

Just waiting till the first parody of the red-stripe ad shows up on youtube.

"Boo creepy US congressman. Hooray Beer!"

lol.

I swear the word 'creepy' will show up on google's zeitgeist next week.

I had very simular thoughts: His att. had very few ways of going:
Make the victium look bad or make the attacker a victum....

My friend emailed me this today. It's so terrible that it's funny:

Q: Why don’t GOP congressman use bookmarks?
A: They don’t need to; they simply bend over the pages.

ha ha, that's the joke I heard the other day and couldn't remember how it went. Thanks!
