Nine minutes of glorious smackdown:
And you know what's coming, don't you?
Republicans and conservatives have nothing to apologize for on Foley (so far). Unless they covered anything up, they handle the situation well.
I'm sure I'll get tired of this. Some day.
TAIL-WAGGING UPDATE: But today is so not that day:
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
So you see, it wasn't really serial, sexual predatory stalking of minors, it was just some good, clean horseplay. With a little whacking off thrown in as a bonus.
You know, Jonathan, if I were you, I'd be awfully careful about latching on to every desperate, lame-ass, right-wing excuse that comes along. Some of that stuff could very well be "bad intel," and I think we've all seen your level of gullibility on that score. If you catch my drift.
WELL, THIS IS TIMELY. Ha ha. Sometimes, I really do wonder what it feels like to be wrong.

But why would it matter if it was a "prank" anyway? If Foley thought the dialogue was genuine, then he's still guilty of soliciting minors over the Internet.
It's like when undercover cops pose as teenage girls in chat rooms. If someone thinks that cop is a teenage girl and arranges to meet "her" for sex, it's not relevant that the person turns out to be a cop. It's what the person thought that's relevant.
So even if it was a prank (which it doesn't look like after all), that's still not relevant. Foley would be just as guilty.
