Democrats are clearly to blame in the Foley scandal

Anyway, I'd just like to come out here and say that this entire Foley scandal is the fault of Democrats. Foley himself has blamed alcohol, as those keeping up with the scandal know. This, of course, is absurd -- I myself am no stranger to the bottle, nor are the vast majority of my friends, acquaintances and colleagues. And to my knowledge, there's not a pederast among us.

Meanwhile, stand-up guys like Bill O'Reilly and Matt Drudge have blamed the 16-year-old page that Foley came on to, with Drudge even calling him a "beast." But I'm just not into blaming the victim, and besides, O'Reilly and Drudge are just prepping for their own problems. O'Reilly, after all, already has one sexual-harassment suit under his belt, and Drudge ... well, he's always seemed kind of degenerate. And in this post-truthiness world, what my gut tells me matters a lot more than any solid evidence.

Do you see the point now? The Dems should have wised up to the placement of GOP officials a long time ago. The Republicans apparently place leadership based on some sort of Bizarro World concept, in which the people who are most dangerous to something are placed in charge of it. When Mark Foley became the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, he should have been arrested on general principle. The failure of the Democrats to get this done will no doubt haunt them in November, when the voters repay their failures by voting in God-fearing Republicans by the barrel full.

1. Yes, but wasn't it the Democrats who brought Prohibition to an

end which is directly the cause for Foley's problems. If the Democrats had never done that he wouldn't be having the problems he is having today.

As a side note: I have no idea that it was Democrats that ended Prohibition but in situations like these who needs to pay attention to facts. If it sounds good, run with it.

2. The Path to PageGate Docudrama says Clinton had a chance to get Foley. n/t

3. And who are we to question the veracity of a docudrama?

After all it has "docu" in it, which sure does make it sound official.
