Palm Beach Post Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The Republican Party was on the ropes...

...Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, an Episcopal priest who is executive director of Political Research Associates, a progressive think tank, said Republicans are caught between their message and human nature. "They're pretty much stuck with their self-righteous moralizing," she said. "If you can't change the message and you can't change human nature, then you're pretty much left with how to batten down the hatches ... when you are caught."...

...What Foley, now 53, did was check into a rehab center in the Arizona mountains almost immediately after he resigned from his $165,200-a-year position. And after years of refusing to discuss his sexual orientation publicly, he acknowledged through his attorney that he is gay. Six weeks after entering rehab, Foley returned to Palm Beach County to attend his father's funeral. In May, he sold his townhouse a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol, making a $660,000 profit. He could start receiving a $32,000 annual pension when he turns 62, or about $22,400 a year if he begins taking it at 56, according to estimates from the National Taxpayer's Union, a nonpartisan taxpayer advocacy group. The pension would grow with inflation...

Funny thing - a story appeared in the Palm Beach SUN, ( a small local monthly paper) about 2 months ago about how nothing had been written about Foley in the major daily papers, that he had been allowed to drift into a black hole with no additional press coverage after the scandal subsided and he got out of "rehab".

2. Foley isn't gay, he's a pedophile
I can't stand it the way the MSM likes to mix up the two, implying that gay men are pedophiles. Foley likes underage teenagers; that ain't gay. Gays like other men. Foley's just a pedophile.

3. Foley is a gay paedophile per these pics

Foley, meanwhile, has stayed largely out of sight. He reportedly has been exploring going back into the real estate business while splitting his time between his condo in Fort Pierce and the Palm Beach home of his partner, Layne Nisenbaum...

...In fact, Foley has been involved for over 19 years with the same man, a well-known Palm Beach dermatologist and socialite named Layne Nisenbaum.

4. Foley abused his power, just like a heterosexual harassing interns of the opposite sex.
It is what it is. MKJ

5. He's a pedophile, which is a C R I M E. He *might* be gay or bi, which isn't ...
and which doesn't really need to be part of the headline.
