Not that you care

But in my opinion, Speaker Hastert should stay.

Foley is 54 and he's probably been gay since his first gym class. I doubt very much that until last year he was regular at the local "Hooters" franchise until "Brokeback Mountain" showed up in his netflix queue; the watching of which had a deeply profound effect on his sense of sexual expression.

He has been in Congress since 1994 and yet, no one noticed a thing until about 30 days before this election. There are no secrets in Washington, so how did this one remain one for so long?

I thought the weirdest thing today from this cretin was the way he rolled out the "My Priest molested me" followed quickly by an announcement of " I'm Gay", as if that just excused it all.

Picture this. ( From the James Whale Directors Cut Of "Frankenstien")

In village just below Castle Frankenstein, a mob of villagers carrying pitchforks and torches attack the castle doorway, banging down the door of the Castle and threatening the kill the terrible monster.

Suddenly the besieged Monster blurts out to the Mob;

"IM GGGGAAAYYYYY".

The village mob stares back at the monster in disbelief. An audible sigh is then heard to come from the mob, which then quickly disassembles and quietly extinguishes their torches as they point the Monster on its way to an appearance at the Oprah Shrine where he asks "Saint Oprah " for her holy forgiveness and understanding for his delicate condition.

end scene...

Look, I dont care if Foleys "gay", and as far as I can tell, no one else did either. Back in the 80's Republicans used to be accused of "not having a big tent"; well apparently its so big now that just about anyone can get in to the tent. Apparently the "Republican tent" is now so big that on occasion we find a kid chasing freakjob in the Party who by all rights and logic should have been ratted out by the legion of congressional pages that have served prior to this year( yet for some unknown reason - chose not to) as well as the dottering civil service staff in his office who after years of working closely with the man should have known or at least suspected his tastes were out of the ordinary even by Washington standards( yet, for some unknown reason - chose not to).

"The Foley Incident" should at the very least dispel the myth that "Republicans are just a bunch of northeastern country club WASPs".

And another thing, Be on notice that over the next 30 days the Democrats L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y will stop at nothing to drive Republicans voters away from the polls. They have stopped trying to lead, they have simply run out of ideas. They've stopped trying to come up with a plan for what they will do when they are in charge. Their only hope now is to keep you so disgusted you simply wont vote, and with the freakshow media working as an accomplice, this is remarkably easy thing to do to the ritalin addicted American public.

Therefore, to drive them absolutely insane trying to figure out what will finally get my anger up against the Republican Party, I will ignore anything and everything that comes up in the next 30 days. As a former employer of mine used to say, its all "gorilla dust" and nothing more. Think of this as my own reverse version of McCain Feingold. Publish all the attack ads you want, I will just ignore all of them in the last 30 days. If you havent campaigned before labor day, you arent very serious then are you?

I simply don't care anymore. Bring it on. I was raised in the age of Jerry Springer, I can take whatever they and the liberal media dish out of the gutter.

Video of Dennis Hastert and the Republican leadership invoking a pagan "black mass" in the Capitol Building and committing human and animal sacrifice?
Wow. Time to pop some popcorn...

Senator Santorum engaging in Cannibalism?
So...Let me guess Senator, it "takes just like chicken"?

Republican Anti-Smoking zealot Senator caught smoking outside the high school gym?
Heh. Filter or nonfilter?

Missouri Republican Senate Candidate caught mowing down little baby ducks on highway.
Ah cool!, I think that ducklings are worth 5 points, adult ducks are 10 points and I think there are bonus points if you get them all in one pass...

So I just dont care anymore. Foley is a freak and he's gone, whats more to be said about it? Hastert probably knew Foley was gay and he probably didnt delve into Foleys sex life too much, because that would be wrong now wouldnt it? Did Hastert know or even suspect that Foley was an outright Pedophile? I don't think so and the reason I think so is that everyone knows that there are no secrets in Washington and that the truth will eventually come out, there is absolutely no way you can cover something like this up.

Shhhh, its 2005 and I just found out that Foley is a pedophile, so make sure you dont say anything right now because it would be embarassing.

On top of that, Newt Gingrich didnt seem to know anything about Foleys appetite when he ran the house and Foley was also in it. Never said a word, and we had a big lead in the house, we couldve dumped this clod in a heartbeat if we wanted to with no risk to the party at all if anyone had any idea that something as poisonous as this was in the party. Dick Gephardt also never said a word about Foleys sexual proclivities while he was minority leader, are you telling me he had a reason to protect Foley or the Republicans? Had he known, don't you think he would have used it against the Republicans while he had a chance and a deep desparate need to whack them in the shins to keep his flagging career from fading into the sunset?

He didnt then, and until now, neither had Pelosi. Why?

Because they didnt know, that's why.

Shouldn't people in the leadership have looked a little closer at Foley and his sexuality? Why? just because he's gay? Being gay doesnt make you a pedophile but being gay and pretending you're not does make you a hypocrite. Last time I checked, being a hypocrite is at the top of the checklist for becoming a certified "Grade A" Washington politician. Being a Hypocrite doesnt disqualify you from respect like it does for normal people but its practically the secret handshake of politicians the world over.

But oh, that we wish that it would, "The Foley Incident" wont go away any time soon. Its the new "Cindy Sheehan crying her eyes out story". It's a story thats got that creosote steeped, creepy, nasty, sensationalist "weekly world news" stank about it that television news editors love, but sends TV audiences reaching for their remotes as soon as it pops on the screen.

We will get a new revelation on the "Foley" story every day for the next 30 days, and every day the story will morph into something more creepy than the day before. Yet each new revelation cannot be "new" in the sense that it "just happened", but the fact that its now being piled end on end between now and election day serve another own purpose, a purpose that seems to have very little to do with the process of justice for the victims in the crime and everything to do with making political hay out of someone elses misery. Not Foleys - But the Kids. You know, the ones that everyone seems to have forgotten about...
