Foley mess and GOP are a match made in heaven

"That it has attained such critical mass, that it threatens the speaker of the House and the GOP majority says little about the repellent Foley and more about how the GOP has hoisted itself on its own petard."

At first I thought it said pet turd.

A sex scandal without sex. Unreal.

[marvlus]

Richard Cohen must be gay.

[synbad600]

Guess this guy has no problem with a homosexual male taking care of his Boy Scout son.

Question #1: When have the Republican ever been guilty of "gay-bashing?"

Question #2: If the Mark Foley thing is such a big deal, why didn't Gary Condit ruin the Democrat Party for a decade?

And then proposing when he turns 18.

Richard Cohen must be gay.

As gay as a leather pinata.

No, I think it says that the MSM knows that sex scandals repel conservatives so this is a good issue to harp on and blow out of all proportion to depress the Repub vote.

Clinton's Sec. of Defense. Republican my arse.

I think this Foley scandal actually gave Richard Cohen wood.

This reads like he typed it with one hand.

#1. All the time. Everyone knows we abhor same sex marriage.

#2. All 'Conduit' did was sex and murder. No gayness involved.

Well once again the usual screamer of Hate Speech on the Left demonstrate they completely have NO clue at all what Conservatives think

[GitmoSailor]

So I will not go out and vote? I don't think so!!!!

The most amusing thing about liberal columnists is that they are generally so confused and hung up about sex that they think its the ultimate insult to accuse us of being confused and hung up about sex. Which is why there can be a liberal sex scandal once a week for a year, but every time there is a conservative sex scandal they pitch a tent.

What is more "on the nose" is that the 'Rats, the party of Bill Clinton, Gerry Studds, and Barney Fwank, a veritable Rogue's Gallery of sexual perverts, has absolutely no moral authority to sit in judgment of Republicans on the Foley matter. Mark Foley resigned, as he should have, and that ended the matter. If he had not, the Republican leadership would have kicked him out, as they should. Contrast that with the 'Rats, who covered for Clinton and Studds and Frank. Barney Frank is still around and is lionized as a leader in the 'Rat party, as is Clinton. Studds was re-elected five separate times and never once apologized for liquoring up and raping an underage male page. Until the 'Rats acknowledge the perversion within their own ranks, their self-righteous cries of indignation over the Foley matter ring awfully hollow.

Only in Richard Cohen's reality is a BJ NOT sex, but writing about it is.
