I feel a little Dennis Leary coming on...
Oct. 4th, 2006 01:39 amMy own comments in italics, and red, in case that wasn't obvious.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley said through his lawyer Tuesday that he was sexually abused by a clergyman as a teenager, but accepts full responsibility for sending salacious computer messages to teenage male pages.
That's a fast recap, in case you were living under a rock for the past week. Incidentally, that's one of my state Reps! Go me!
Attorney David Roth said Foley was molested between ages 13 and 15. He declined to identify the clergyman or the church, but Foley is Roman Catholic.
What the fuck is it with Catholic Priests getting involved in this all the time? NO! Seriously! Statisticly speaking, there should be no reason that more Catholic Priests molest than say...Methodist Ministers. You never hear about the Pastor of a Church of Christ molesting kids! Oh no..It's Catholic Priests and little boys. And how come you never hear about those Buddist Monks chasing around girlscouts? Now there is no god damned reason that Catholic Priests molest more than any other spiritual leader. Don't say, "It's because of the Celibacy!" That's bullshit! The being given no permission to fuck, and deciding to fuck anyway, means you can get with a woman. I do know people that have not been laid in a couple of years, and they are not fantasizing about children. I was almost scared to go to Catholic church, then I remembered that I have boobies. And I'm grown up. And that I'm an Atheist.
He also acknowledged for the first time that the former congressman is gay, saying the disclosure was part of his client's "recovery."
*groaned* Ooh God...Recovery of what? His dignity? Pfft, gone. His integrity? Sorry, no. When that poor New Jersey Governor got outed, at least he was dealing with an adult. He was shakey, but he was willing to let the gay community come over and sniff at him, see where he fit in. I think the gay community would rather push Foley back so far into the closet, he's finding porno tapes from the 70's. Talk about a good argument against a Gay Agenda!
"Mark Foley wants you to know he is a gay man," Roth told reporters as Republicans struggled with fallout from Foley's resignation.
Well thank fucking God for that shit! He didn't want anyone to know when they were voting for his ass, but now that he's been caught text messaging pages, he wants you to know! Did you catch that part? Now that he can *never* be trusted by his old associates in the GOP, he *wants* you to know that he's GAY. Yep...He's gay. Don't forget.
Foley "does not blame the trauma he sustained as a young adolescent for his totally inappropriate e-mails" and instant messages, Roth said. "He continues to offer no excuse whatsoever for his conduct."
Oh, really? What the fuck was that crap about the priest then? I mean..if that's not an excuse, or a ploy for sympathy...then what was it? Trivia? "I was molested by a priest. That's not an excuse though. I just felt like sharing!"
Foley, who is 52 and single, represented parts of Palm Beach County for 12 years until he abruptly resigned Friday after being accused of sending lurid Internet messages to teenage boys who served as pages on Capitol Hill.
Incidentally, anyone familiar with Palm Beach County is not shocked to find out that he's gay.
The FBI and Florida law enforcement officials are investigating whether he violated any laws.
Is drunkenly making halfassed passes over the phone to underaged people a crime? Maybe. But if so, there are some motherfuckers at the bowling alley that better start watching their ass.
The lawyer said Foley, who is now in treatment for alcohol abuse, never had any inappropriate sexual contact with a minor. "Any suggestion that Mark Foley is a pedophile is false," he said.
No..No..Now they are right. A pedophile likes actual *children*, not teenagers. Now, the next time you're waiting at a redlight, and some cute young thing in a miniskirt walks by, and you think..."mmm"..I want you to think about that.
Roth also said Foley was under the influence of alcohol when he sent the e-mails and instant messages.
Ok...there was a priest...AND he was drunk. But he offers no excuse.
Asked why Foley did not disclose the abuse sooner, Roth said, "Shame, shame."
Shame shame shame shame shame
"As is so often the case with victims of abuse, Mark advises that he kept his shame to himself for almost 40 years," Roth said.
It's obvious he loathed himself...he was a GAY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
The communications were first reported last week by ABC News, which released more instant messages Tuesday that suggest Foley interrupted a vote on the House floor to chat online with a teen.
*facepalm* Now, lets be real. That just makes it sound like he got up and said, "Scuse me fellas, I got to conversate alittle with this here piece of sexy twink meat." Ok, so maybe not *quite* that, but you know that he didn't hold up jack or shit with the vote, typing in his phone with his thumbs. For fucks's sake! Old pricks sleep during those votes!
"I miss you," Foley said in one message, according to ABC.
"ya me too," the teen replied.
"we are still voting," Foley responded.
*barf* And I just have this mental image of some of the Pages giggling, and calling him Uncle Creepy.
Roth said Foley was never under the influence of alcohol while conducting business on Capitol Hill, but he could not explain his previous statement that Foley was intoxicated when he sent the messages.
I was molested and drunk, but not *really* drunk...and I don't know how I drove into the lake at Chappaquiddick. I did not have sexual relations...
Meanwhile, House Speaker Dennis Hastert cast aside calls for his resignation Tuesday amid allegations from Democrats that Republicans knew of Foley's questionable communications months ago but failed to act.
I know *exactly* how that went down. "Hey, Mark..Messaging the wife?" "No way, dude! I got the number of this hot page with a tight little ass!" "ooh, Candice? She may be my daughter's age, but she'd got a fucking huge rack!" "...Yeah...Candice. Don't tell anyone though. I know she's too young. It's just a thing." "Ok..Teehee!"
President Bush, speaking at a Stockton, Calif., elementary school, on Tuesday said he was disgusted by Foley's actions.
*mumbles words in a Texas accent* "Cause homo butt sex is just disgustin'. It's disgustin', and it's wrong. Tell em Condi! Tell em it's disgustin'!" "arf!" "Good girl."
Oh...and while I'm sure that he was speaking only to the press, the idea that the President got up in front of a bunch of 5th graders, and said the above just tickles me to no end.
The House Ethics Committee scheduled its first meeting on Foley's actions for Thursday.
And the secret name of the meeting will be: "OH SHIT..THEY ARE LOOKING AT US! QUICK, SOMEONE GET TED DRUNK!"
