The only thing we have to say is that if this is how Foley’s attorney defines a “bombshell announcement”, then we’d hate to be in the room when he says something mildly boring.

Correct that, we’d hate to be on the same continent for fear that we’d be put to sleep immediately.

What it all boils down to, of course, is a bunch of the lamest, most pathetic excuses for the inexcusable that His Majesty has seen in a long time.

1) “I’m gay!”

Really? Who knew? We mean, fantasizing in IMs about grabbing the wedding tackle of pubescent boys is one thing, but still… We’re so glad that you chose to clear all of that up. The world might never have known otherwise.

2) “I was molested by a priest as a kid!”

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer perv. Listen, you scum at the bottom of the septic tank of humanity, we don’t personally care if you were made to ride the pole of every clergyman within 8 counties of where you grew up unless you’d like to share the names so that we can go put a few rounds of JHP in the sickos’ brain pan. Which would be pointless, seeing as how they’re most likely all dead now. Come to think of it, that’s frightfully convenient for your claim, isn’t it?

Not that it matters whether you’re lying or not, because it is absolutely and undebatably irrelevant to the matter at hand, unless you’re trying to suggest that your childhood trauma involving a preacher’s penis is somehow an excuse for your disgusting behavior today, which is of course exactly what you’re trying to do. Here’s a hint, perv-boy: It. ain’t. WORKING. Not only isn’t it working, it’s having the exact opposite effect, because if there is one thing we loathe more than a degenerate, depraved, disgusting perv, then it’s a degenerate, depraved, disgusting perv trying to excuse his perversions.

Just go away already. Go away to whatever asylum for the worthless dregs of society it is that you’re planning to hide out in.

And pray. A LOT.

    Here here to the “list of names” idea. I might consider a bit of leniency for those who just turned 18 who’s boyfriend/girlfriend was a few (read two or three) months behind them. Every single other child molester should be shot (fatally, not for “tortorous effects”), no ifs ands or buts. PERIOD.

    Dear Emperor:
    There is no excuse for this SICK pedophile. None.
    He’s out, and I am glad. Hang him in the courts.
    The sad thing is that his misdeads are being blamed on people who have nothing to do with his actions. They were just afraid to confront this man because they woud be seen as “anti-gay”
    Who are the elected officials who are repeatedly challenging laws to convict sicko pedofiles such as Foley ?
    Democrats. They are the party of inclusion and “understanding”.
    Look at what Bill Clinton got away with when they looked the other way,,.and his abuse of a 21 year old intern is seen as “ok”.
    How sad that we forget so quckly……

    I couldn’t agree more.

    And that goes for the rest of what you say as well.

    His gayness doesn’t enter into it but, sadly, that’s not the case for our self-serving jackass politicians who are all circling the hot potato, pissing their pants.

    He’s a perv, he’ll be dealt with. End of story.

  4. DJ Allyn,  ITW Comment by DJ Allyn, ITW UNITED STATES

    This is what I had to say about this

    I had the misfortune to read some of the more disgusting emails from Foley, and it just turned my stomach. But what made it even worse was hearing some people try to minimize Foley’s actions because it is a perceived embarrassment to the Republican Party.

    Foley’s actions aren’t an embarrassment to the party, it is the justifications and excuses that come out afterwards. The Republican leadership only seemed to see this in terms of political ramifications, not whether this fuckwad actually did something wrong.

    In the past other people have “gotten away” for similar actions, and that was wrong too. But do we continue to let people “get away” because others have gotten away in the past?

    Someone here is going to bring up Kennedy, and I will be the first to say he needs to go also.

    We need to stop seeing wrong-doing in terms of political ramifications. If it is wrong, then it is wrong, and take care of it.

    When the Republican leadership first caught wind of this years ago — and there have been rumors about this for quite some time — they should have come down hard with the hammer right away. It then would have been about the perpetrator, and NOT the party.

    Do what they do to pedophiles over in other parts of the world, stone em to death, hang em, or necklace them. (Necklace is where you tie them up, put a tire around their necks, already soaked with gas, then flick you Bic)

    I’d say do what they do in Muslim lands, but they worship their pedophiles.

  7. AyUaxe Comment by AyUaxe UNITED STATES

    Not only is the claim of prior abuse a way too convenient, so-called excuse and probably a lie, but one who has been subjected to abuse should know better than to do it to anyone else. Not an excuse, but an aggravating factor–hope he hangs himself. Too bad we can’t.

  8. LC RobertHuntingdon Comment by LC RobertHuntingdon UNITED STATES

    Yes well DJ as usualy you accept as gospel truth the CLAIMS — unproven and very likely unprovable or even DISprovable — that the republican leadership knew about this years ago, and forget that there are at least equally valid — as in equally unproven, though perhaps provable perhaps not, time will tell — that democrats DID know and did nothing until they could try to use it as an election.

    None of us “righties” regardless of party or lack thereof support his actions (that I’ve heard at least, and I doubt you’ll find any either). But neither are we going to bend over and allow unprincipled decietful bastards to ream our butts with lies and insinuation for something we had nothing to do with. If that’s disappointing to you tough cookies.

    This whole thing is disgusting. What I’d like to know about it is why it was held this long before being released. Some of the messages seem to be from three years back so the messages were held somewhere and released at s very convienient time.

    It would make my glad to see every child molester hung at once.

  11. Emperor Misha I Comment by Emperor Misha I UNITED STATES

    I had the misfortune to read some of the more disgusting emails from Foley, and it just turned my stomach. But what made it even worse was hearing some people try to minimize Foley’s actions because it is a perceived embarrassment to the Republican Party.

    Which is mainly a result of a bunch of lying bastards trying to make it a perceived embarrassment to the Republican Party.

    If the MSM and various and sundry other idiots with an agenda would quit deliberately conflating IMs unknown until days ago with one innocuous email actually KNOWN earlier, then perhaps nobody would have to waste time defending themselves against made-for-TV bogus charges completely unsupported by evidence?

    When the Republican leadership first caught wind of this years ago — and there have been rumors about this for quite some time — they should have come down hard with the hammer right away.

    You misspelled “If” at the beginning of the sentence. Otherwise you’re dead on.

    To date, there is not one single shred of concrete actual evidence showing that the Republican leadership were aware of any damn thing at all.

    All they had to go on was an email asking for a picture which, though strange, is hardly grounds for putting somebody in shackles and extraordinarily rendering him to a third country for Ye Olde Electric Wires on Ye Testicles™ treatment.

    Oh, it’s all too easy to sit here NOW, with the benefit of our +2/(+5 against common sense) Glasses of Hindsight, claiming that they ought to have known based on that one email, but that’s not how justice works. At least it’s not supposed to be how it works.

    That’s why we need an investigation, which is what Hastert has called for (odd for somebody allegedly guilty of malfeasance to call for such a thing, isn’t it?), and I eagerly await the result.

    IF it turns out that anyone, ANYONE AT ALL, knew about Foley’s disgusting tendencies and chose to hold on to the evidence for ANY REASON AT ALL, thus letting him carry on unchecked, THEN I’ll be all in favor of nailing them to the nearest barn door and using them for knife throwing practice.

    And party affiliation doesn’t enter into it.

    Part of me wants to don a tinfoil hat and say Foley was a gay Democratic plant. He started out his political life as a Democrat, and it looks like he may have switched parties just to get elected (he lost a number of campaigns before switching).
    But I’m just getting this off of Wiki, so I don’t have the full details of his voting record to say he was a RINO. Plus, I’m feeling a bit silly, and I think the idea of indulging in such conspiracy theories is detrimental to your social standing of being seen as a sane person.

  14. NCLivingBrit Comment by NCLivingBrit UNITED STATES

    Scum-sucking sack of shit.

    Like previous abuse is an -excuse- for continuing the horror. My brother of choice who won’t be named here was abused horribly for most of his early life, almost from the cradle…. And like many others he found the drive in him to continue the chain, but he fought it, almost to the point of his own self-destruction.

    When I hear this kind of bleating about previous abuse being the reason for their deviancy, it makes my fucking blood boil. Bad enough that his pedo tendencies let him abuse the power of his office, but then he has to try and smear everyone else in his purported position as a child.

    Hanging would be too fucking good for this vermin. And the RINO’s have earned another dram of distrust for not rooting out this shithead and publicly denouncing him years ago.

    Maybe the idea of the thought police isn’t so terribly abhorrent sometimes….

  15. DJ Allyn,  ITW Comment by DJ Allyn, ITW UNITED STATES

    You misspelled “If” at the beginning of the sentence. Otherwise you’re dead on.

    Okay, If and (w)hen…

    I’ll give you that. But there is this:

    Boehner told WLW that Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-La., told him of Foley’s contact with the page earlier this year “in passing” on the House floor but that no specifics were mentioned, so “the conversation didn’t raise any alarms.”

    Boehner said he spoke to Hastert about it and was told “it had been taken care of.”

    “In my position, it’s in his corner. It’s his responsibility. The clerk of the House, who runs the page program, the page board, all report to the speaker, and I believed it had been dealt with,” Boehner said.

    A few hours later, Boehner rebuffed the Washington Times’ call for Hastert to resign in a letter to the editor, saying “no one in the leadership, including Speaker Hastert, had any knowledge of the warped and sexually explicit instant messages.”

    It apparently raised enough alarms that Boehner spoke to Hastert about it, and Hastert had told him “it had been taken care of.” Innocent “chitchat” by itself wouldn’t ordinarily be a reason for the need to bring it to anyones attention — unless there was a suspicion of something worse. In fact, the parents of this teen had complained about Foley’s unwanted attentions and that caused the leadership to tell Foley to “knock it off”.

    Alarms?

    If you believe Tom Reynolds, he says the parents didn’t want to make this a public spectacle. (what parents would? I don’t blame them.)

    Then there is this:

    Former page: I was warned of Foley in ‘95

    WASHINGTON — A former House page says he was warned in 1995 to steer clear of a freshman Republican from Florida, who already was learning the names of the teenagers, dashing off notes, letters and e-mails to them and asking them to join him for ice cream.

    Mark Beck-Heyman, now a graduate student in clinical psychology at George Washington University, and more than a dozen other former House pages said in interviews and via e-mail that Rep. Mark Foley was known to be extraordinarily friendly in a way that made some of them uncomfortable.

    Beck-Heyman, a Democrat, said the attention was “weird” and he provided a handwritten letter that Foley had sent him after the page left Washington to return home to California, suggesting that they get together during the Republican National Convention in San Diego in 1996.

    Beck-Heyman joined the page program in the summer of 1995. He said a departing page told him to be “very careful” of Foley.

    Within weeks, Beck-Heyman said, Foley had learned his name and asked at least twice to take him to get ice cream. Beck-Heyman said he declined. [emphasis mine]

    So it is kinda hard for anyone not to have noticed behaviour going back more than a decade — including the democrats.

    The cynic in me tells me that this is fodder for blackmail and deal-making, and that knowledge of this kind of material can be used as bargaining chips between the parties. It makes me wonder what other “bargaining chips” are in Congress that we have yet to find out about.

    Maybe everyone turned a blind eye on this for so long because it might raise up other scandals that nobody wants exposed.

    There is indeed a “Culture of Corruption” in our government, and I suspect that it crosses all party lines.

  16. juandos Comment by juandos UNITED STATES

    Does ANYONE know for a fact, have credible sources that show Foley actually laid hands on any lad at all?

    Agreed that sending some teenaged boy notes of the sort Foley supposedly sent is creepy and reason enough for that clown to exit his office promptly which he did…

    Foley’s whining about alcohol abuse and the alledged abuse by a priest are just about as pathetic a set of excuses one could come up with but let’s face a fact, Foley is a politico and when has a politico ever kept his or her mouth shut when even more verbiage might help obscure the real situation?

    BTW the Chicago Tribune is at best a questionable source of information…

    So is the WaPo but here’s something from their greatest hits of yesteryear: Congressional Sex Scandals in History

    If the dim-witted Dems or their allies in the press and amongst the lib-tard set had access to these e-mails and instant messaging notes for a year or so, weren’t they law bound to notify the authorities or someone about this?

  17. L.C. Rowane Comment by L.C. Rowane UNITED STATES

    From what I gather, Juandos, this is just about a bunch of instant messenger logs and no one has even said that he was accused of touching any boys.

    If he misused his power as a Rep to even put his hands on one boy, he should be strung up by his thumbs and have rabid ferrets put down his pants. Then again, that goes for Barney Frank and any other congress-critter, too.

    This is what happens when you let homosexuality be treated as just a “life-choice” and not a mental illness as it was treated for most of history. There is nothing “normal” about one man looking at another man’s various body parts and “falling in love” This goes against all laws of nature, the proof of that is that homosexual unions cannot be fruitful.

    No, we don’t know. But communicating with a minor for immoral purposes is still a crime.

    If the dim-witted Dems or their allies in the press and amongst the lib-tard set had access to these e-mails and instant messaging notes for a year or so, weren’t they law bound to notify the authorities or someone about this?

    I am still unclear as to where these logs and notes came from and who ABC obtained them from. You are making the assumption it was a democrat plot.

    This is what happens when you let homosexuality be treated as just a “life-choice” and not a mental illness as it was treated for most of history.

    I am so g_dammed tired of hearing this drivel, where people like you equate homosexuality with pedophilia. Statistics speak otherwise — most pedophilia involves men and young girls. But sure, some pedophiles go after young boys also — but it is not a case of what a person’s sexual orientation is, it is all about whether that person is attracted to young children.

    There is nothing “normal” about one man looking at another man’s various body parts and “falling in love” This goes against all laws of nature, the proof of that is that homosexual unions cannot be fruitful.

    Sure, it isn’t ‘normal’ for you. You are being pretty subjective here. What is normal for you may not be normal for someone else — and so be it.

    As far as “all laws of nature” goes, vitrually every species on earth has incidences of homosexuality.

  19. LC HJ Caveman82952 Comment by LC HJ Caveman82952 UNITED STATES

    This dirtbag pisses me off. I know gay people, Mr. Foley, none of them child molestors. There was a man in my life I would have killed as an adult had he not died. I am an alcoholic, Mr. Foley, I’ve never done anything like that, but then again I had to own my shit to clean up my act. You might try that. Personally, for personal reasons, I think some quiet time with Mongo, Dirk and Meatloaf for cellies might impart an epiphany to your sick soulless ass………

  20. Emperor Misha I Comment by Emperor Misha I UNITED STATES

    OK, I have to jump in here as well. Enough with the gay-bashing already.

    First, to avoid any misunderstandings as to where exactly I stand:

    1) I’m Christian. Homosexuality is a sin.

    2) Disregarding religion entirely for a moment, homosexuality isn’t normal either, unless we wish to re-define the word “normal” to suit our needs, which I don’t. The problem doesn’t lie with the word “normal”, it lies with the connotations of it. As in “good”, versus “not normal” with the connotation of “bad.” That doesn’t make any sense, logically. An act’s “goodness” is determined by the act itself, not by the relative part of the population engaging in it. “Normal” simply means “that which describes most members of a sub-population.”

    For instance: Being an albino isn’t “normal.” Yet there is nothing inherently bad about being one, nor does being an albino automatically make one a less desirable member of society.

    “But you can’t CHOOSE to not be an albino!”

    Fine. Avoiding the debate about whether or not homosexuality is genetic, a choice, or a combination of both (frankly, I don’t know), how about this one: Being a fan of David Hasselhoff isn’t “normal.” Unless you’re German, which in itself isn’t normal either. OK, I couldn’t resist that one. Yet being a fan of David Hasselhoff doesn’t mean that you’re a bad person, nor does it mean that you’re undesirable. It just means that you have absolutely horrible taste in music.

    But enough about that.

    The thing that REALLY irritates me is this tendency to assume that homosexuals are automatically and naturally inclined to become child molesters.

    The two things have nothing to do with each other and it is insulting, unfair and illogical to suggest otherwise.

    Was Jessica Lunsford’s murderer gay? No, he was, by all accounts, a middle-aged, straight, male Caucasian. Damn, I’m a middle-aged, straight, male Caucasian TOO! I guess y’all had better hide your daughters if I’m in the neighborhood, right?

    Of course not. And if that’s so simple to understand, that straight child molesters are straights who are sick in the head and ought to be shot but that they are NOT one because of the other, then why the FUCK is that so hard to understand when the kiddy-diddler is gay?

    No, homosexuality is not “normal”, it is also sinful according to my beliefs (but that’s for G-d to iron out, He neither needs nor wants my help), but it is not inherently “bad”, nor does it automatically make you somebody who’ll most likely molest children if you can get away with it.

    Any more than having a vagina makes it likely that you’ll be a prostitute or that having a penis makes it likely that you’re a rapist.

    Here’s another one: Mark Foley is a Republican. Does that mean that every single one of us who either identify with or used to identify with that party should be tarred with the same brush as he? I don’t think so.

    Would it be too fucking much to ask that the same courtesy be extended to homosexuals? If they behave like sickos, jerks, assholes or criminals, yes, but that goes for everybody, not just gays.

    OK, off of my soapbox for now.
