Republican Spin Resembling Whirling Dervish Gathering

Puhleeze. Am I the only person insulted by the nature of this spin tactic trying to make Mark Foley look less evil than he really is? Regardless of whether it was all a joke that fell into the wrong hands, or whether the page was "supposedly" over 18 (and the IM's seem to contradict that theory), there is still a great deal of impropriety involved, along with some questionable behavior from several GOP members.

It shocks me that the GOP would stoop so low to try to protect one of their seats.

People who aren't insulted by this (and Matt Drudge for trying to pull the wool over our eyes), deserve to have a seat reserved for them in hell.

To review:

Mark Foley isn't responsible because:

• it was the priests who molested him as a child who caused all this!
• it was the alcohol that he never really drinks
• it was a practical joke that fell into the hands of the evil Democrats
• the guy he IM'd was over 18! Honest injun!
• everyone knew but no one did anything about it
• the Gay agenda is to blame, because all gays supposedly want to bugger little boys ... right?
• it was a terrorist tactic by Al Qaida to make the Republicans lose the elections
• Democrats have done so much worse during their time in power
  
• Bill Clinton did it!

Yes, if you believe any of this, you're downright stupid; an apologist for a government that has been led astray and corrupted. Yeah, I said it.
