re: Let he who is without sin ...
To my liberal friends who think they can gain political traction on the
Foley Page Scandal. First off, let me say that if former Congressman Foley hadn't resigned, he should've been tossed out his ear with his pension seized. On top of that, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, with his new page being some brute named Dennis who's doing 25-life in the big house.
That being said, I'm noticing that many of my liberal friends think they have more mud to sling as the election comes. They are jumping with glee pointing more fingers at the GOP and screaming "the party of bad morals," "corruption" yada yada yada.
Well, let me remind you, my dear liberal friends, that if we
set the Wayback Machine to 1983, we find
an unapologetic Democrat guilty of doing the same thing. And who got away with it. At least the Republican in that case expressed some remorse. Your democrat turned his back on the hallowed halls which he served his constituents and thumbed his nose at the censure.
Then, there's the fact that
Congressman Barney Frank had a prostitution ring run from his own apartment by his boyfriend. Right under his very nose. Frank also used his station to fix 33 tickets for his boyfriend, getting a congressional reprimand in the process.
Since 1974, the number of Democrats accused of sexual misconduct while in office reaches thirteen. To be fair, nine republicans have also had trouble keeping their zipper up. But nearly all of these occured on the watch of the majority party - DEMOCRATS, and in nearly every case, nothing was done.
And we all remember what the definition of "is" is. So, before you start tossing stones our way, before you think that you can drag Speak Hastert down as well, think about the fact that glass houses break rather nicely when you live in them.
UPDATE: It seems
there's more to this "October Surprise" than meets the eye. Is this another
Wellstone Funeral moment? As we learn more, it sure seems like it.
