47. Ooops....Ya Mean He Got Caught?
Seems like the corporate media has tried to spin this that someone Foley stood up and resigned on his own out of some magnanimous act. The Freepers are claiming "at least he resigned, and Clinton didn't". Well, if Clinton were caught propositioning young boys, you better believe Democrats would have called for his head just as loud as Repugnicans.

The corporate double standard here will soon become obvious. In 2001, the media couldn't get enough of Gary Condit and all but destroyed the man's life. They not only houneded him out of office, but kept on him afterwards. Will we see a similar treatment of Foley? Will they even have the balls to dig further and find out if there are more pedophile incidents in Mr. Foley's past? I've got a bright shiny dime that says we'll find out, but it won't be through the corporate media...it will come out here on the blogs.
