Well the MSM has found the Republican Scandal for this election. Mark Foley (yes I know I wrote Folly in the title) the now former congressman from Florida is the subject of this little scandal. If he were a Democrat this wouldn't be a story. Why would that be? Just read
Ann Coulters column about a Democrat who did much more then Foley to pages in the congress. My mom remembered this from years ago (I didn't) and I didn't see anything about it recently until Ann wrote about it today.
I think the main story here is the press and the lie that is fair reporting. The major "news" organizations creditability is at an all time low. I know with out a doubt who the "news" are voting for! It has been this way for a long time, the only difference today is talk radio, Fox News and the blogs give the other side to the story. How much longer do we have to wait for major reform in the rest of the media?
Now I would not say Foley is innocent or anything. It looks like he did what they say he did. He was a RINO who needed to be replaced with a better conservative candidate anyway. So maybe its not that bad anyway, the house needed to be cleaned up. I guess the media thought Foleys "lifestyle" would be a major problem for the Republicans. Foley is one of the Republicans that Hollyweird wishes all Republicans were, yet they were more then willing to throw him to the wolves.
