Pasco nudists recall 'hypocritical' campaign (Foley)
October 3, 2006


TALLAHASSEE - Three years ago, U.S. Rep. Mark Foley demanded that the state investigate a summer nudist camp for kids in Pasco County, warning it could expose innocent children to pedophiles.

<snip>

In the summer of 2003, Foley trumpeted his call for an investigation on MSNBC's Scarborough Country, Fox's The O'Reilly Factor, CBS's The Early Show and ABC's Good Morning America.

He even launched a Web site in which he invited people to send their complaints about the camp. The site no longer exists.

Eric Schuttauf, executive director of the American Association for Nude Recreation, e-mailed the group's members after the Foley scandal broke, cautioning them not to gloat over their former critic's downfall.

Three years ago, Foley "took less than an hour to frame an incorrect impression of those camps," Schuttauf wrote. "As a credible voice of reason for nude recreation, we will not make the same mistake."

I guess Foley assumed that since he was a pervert, everyone else in the world is one too?

1. After reading this all I could think of is My Ding a Ling
My Ding A Ling Lyrics
Artist: Chuck Berry

My Ding-A-Ling-A-Ling

When I was a little biddy boy
My grandma bought me a cute little toy
Two Silver bells on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling

My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling
My Ding-A-Ling My Ding-A-Ling won't you play with My Ding-A-Ling

When I was little boy In Grammar school
Always went by the very best rule
But Evertime the bell would ring
You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling

Once while climbing the garden wall,
Slipped and fell had a very bad fall
I fell so hard I heard birds sing,
But I held on to My ding-a-ling

Once while swimming cross turtle creek
Man them snappers right at my feet
Sure was hard swimming cross that thing
with both hands holding my dingaling

Now this here song it ain't so bad
Prettiest little song that you ever had
And those of you who will not sing
must be playing with your on Ding-a-ling

:):)

2. Where did these words come from?
These are not the words of the original song, only sorta close sounding, almost.

Forgive my nit-pickiness, but, as a lifelong song writer and performer, until my body began to fail me, I get a little freaky about accuracy and accreditation.

7. Thank you so much for the info.
I will be sure to avoid that particular site if I want accuracy.
I used to purchase some of the various music related magazines (way pre internet) and would get so frustrated with learning song lyrics because so many of them would propagate bad info from publication to publication.
Thanks again.

4. They do this to keep suspicions about their own activity in check
If you act like you are against the criminal activity, then just maybe no one will ever suspect that you commit these crimes.

5. No wonder the guy considered himself
a champion for missing and exploited children.
