Foley Erect
Well it’s been the bombshell story in American politics these last few days: Republican Mark Foley resigned on Friday after several “naughty” emails were exposed on ABC which he wrote to former male teenage pages; minors. In an Austin Power’s moment Foley asks the page “Do I make you a little horny?”. The rest of the excerpts read like something NBC would’ve shown in Dateline’s “To Catch a Predator”. But Whitehouse Press Secretary Tony Snow called the emails “naughty” at best.
What’s worse is that Republican leaders knew about the emails a year ago but kept it on the down low to preserve his congressional seat for the upcoming mid-term elections.
Before resigning in the scandal Foley was the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. Irony?
I have been saying this forever now: American politics is just so damn entertaining compared to the rest of the world.

hareega, i wish i was that clever, credit goes to the daily show.
If the congressman was a Democrat, Tony Snow would’ve called him a rapist or a pedophile. How do we vote for such idiotic perverts?!
Yeah, this one is really embarrassing, I ain’t gonna apologize for this creep. Not only is he one of the guys running my beloved country, he’s also a Republican, which makes it twice as bad. If he was a Democrat, at least I would have gotten some satisfaction out of it, in a sick kind of way.
Lovely democracy ain’t it?
Ray, “Lovely democracy ainâ??t it?” yeah but you know it’s times like these when there’s something to be said about fascism
