GOP Hitman Matt Drudge Blames Kids For "Playing Foley" [View All]

The Republican coverup for La Cage Aux Foley has put the tentacles of the right wing
noise machine into overdrive. Did you ever wonder how low they could limbo to keep
themselves in power? Wonder no more! Making excuses for sexual predators who abuse
their authority as elected officials and prey on kids online? No problem!

Please please listen to these Matt Drudge radio clips (see cite for link) at Crooks & Liars,
because this is where the GOP Protection Racket that Hastert has run for years is going
with this. Drudge is, after all, their flagship:
--------------
Clip #1: And if anything, these kids are less innocent -- these 16 and 17 year-old
beasts...and I've seen what they're doing on YouTube and I've seen what they're doing
all over the internet--oh yeah--you just have to tune into any part of their pop culture.
You're not going to tell me these are innocent babies. Have you read the transcripts that
ABC posted going into the weekend of these instant messages, back and forth? The
kids are egging the Congressman on! The kids are trying to get this out of him. We
haven't got the whole story on this.

I'm sorry but this really does take the cake for just about the worst thing I've ever seen
the right wing try to apologize for. Isn't that what pedophiles always say? It's the kid's
fault ...
