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."
OH YEAH. Well, what can you say - the two longest running wars I've seen are the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs and we lost both decades ago. Let people take whatever drugs they want as long as children are not involved. The hell with them. If they want to be junkies, let them be junkies - just don't give them any programs to bail them out.
I was almost offended for a minute after reading that, but realised you have a right to an opinion too. None of my friends are junkies, but a lot of them are drunks and cigarette fiends. As am I. I should have pinged you to the monkey experiments.
