Well, he loved other people's male children. :-)

Here we go, lionize the old rear admiral.

I lived in Mass when this dreck was in DC. He was an arrogant SOB and a pervert then. I'm sure that is what he was when he died.

Good riddance.

Thanks for the link.

Timeless.

Will be interesting to see who goes to the funeral... Pelosi?

Uh, Hara, were you a part of "the life" when he was doing the chicken-hawk thing?

Hara is only 49. In '73 when the chicken hawk thing occured (although Studds wasn't censured until '83), he would have been 16 and Studds 36. He may have been one of the later "Conquests" of Congressmen (spit) Studds.

If Foley were gay, they'd throw him a parade

Umm, Foley is gay. They don't throw him a parade because he's a Republican. After the election, maybe after 2008, then they may throw him the parade.

[Texas Songwriter]

How many page-boy scandals does Barney FRank have in his closet? He has been uncharacteristically quiet during the Foley imbroglio.

[shortstop]

Again, the article refers to Foley as a Republican, but no mention that Studd was a Dem.
