At a press conference moments ago, Foley's lawyer David Roth announced that the lawmaker "asked" that the media be told that he was molested by a clergyman when between the ages of 13 and 15. It's part of the healing process, apparently. Roth added that "Mark explicitly reaffirms his responsibility and remorse" for his actions.
Also, "Mark Foley wants you to know that he is a gay man."
Roth looks remarkably like my next-door neighbor, but has a totally different demeanor. It's almost spooky how much they look alike though. It could be a cheesy disnee movie.
He obviously was not comfortable in his role. I can understand that, I would rather clean toilets in public restrooms on skid row then be that fallen Congressman's spokesman.
