Foley's Lawyer: He's Gay, He Was Molested, He Drinks
By Paul Kiel - October 3, 2006, 6:36 PM

Well, here's that "bombshell."

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."

Translation: a member of the party of family values and personal responsibility is not responsible for his actions.

Oh my....this gets better and better......

I'm searching right now to see if Foley was a big WOD freak. Most level III hypocrites are.

Interestingly, Scarborough states he has known Foley for 12-13 years. Been to many social and political engagements with him and he has NEVER seen him with a drink.

They're lawters, you have to parse all this nonsense. That or ask Scarboroughy directly if he's ever seen Foley with an empty ether tank and a torn, bloody clown costume.

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.

Hmm either hes lying or he was in the closet more ways than one :P

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.

You can't find anyone in Washington who has ever seen Foley take a drink let alone be a drunk.

Foley will spend at least 30 days in a facility being treated for what Foley calls "alcoholism and related behavioral problems."

Curiouser and curiouser.

You mean, you didn't know that Dr. Smith's famous line he often said, "Oh the pain....the pain....." was a sarcastic mimicking of Will's outcry as Smith boffed him? I thought everyone knew that. ;-)

Rove cannot spin Foley out of this one, but they keep trying.

It's like the old adage "if you can't convince them facts, baffle them with bullshit."

Or outright lies, if they work. What an evil philosphy they abide.

Foley's rehab is nothing but cynical duck and cover. The guy was flying high until he got caught. Now, we'll get all the lame excuses about why he isn't really responsible.

Maybe Foley can make his mark in show business playing the movie version of this super hero saga. I mean, the Bush II era is strange now, but it can always get worse.

So just like Gov. McGravy of New Jersey he's going to hide under those big hoop skirts of the Log Cabin party???? So, if you're gay - all is forgiven? You can lie, steal, rape, rob, murder, or do what else, if you just happen to be gay? What kind of bullshit is this? If I were gay, I'd be launching a protest on this creep's lawn. Certainly this cannot be how gay people want to be thought of.

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.
