Ah...Mark Foley's healing process continues...
He names a Catholic priest that molested him 38 years ago.

1. This Foley thing gave me a great business idea!
Junior Condoms! I think they could be called "Squirt" and there's obviously huge growth potential and a large vertical market.

3. ???????
I missed that story. When did he name the priest?

Is the priest still actually alive and able to defend himself, or am I safe in assuming Foley named somebody Dead, and unable to refute accusations.

4. It's on Hardball as we speak.
Foley's still in rehab...healing. His attorney says that they can't prosecute the priest do to the Statute of Limitations. I guess whoever it is is still alive.

13. So Foley is willing to allow the pedophile priest continue the abuse?
Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 05:00 PM by cryingshame
what about other kids who were molested... the church owes them an accounting.

IF Foley's story is true (I doubt it).

5. KEEP talking, Foley! stay right up there in the public's face as long
as you possibly can, whether by your representatives (he's got a new attorney today), or in person.

isn't it the best thing for us to have his story out there as much as possible, discussion fodder for the next three weeks

gotta catapult the truth to those that are value obsessed

naming the name tomorrow, supposedly, of the priest

7. Let me put on my Karnac the Magnificent turban (a la Johnny Carson)
and predict that the priest who molested him just happens to be dead...:sarcasm:

Wonder how long it took his lawyer to dig up a name...

:tinfoilhat:? maybe... but if these guys' lips are moving, chances are, THEY'RE LYING...

8. And This Made Hastert Cover It Up How?
Besides the obvious sympathy ploy, this is non-news. This doesn't address Foley's predatory actions and why it was covered up by the GOOP leadership.

9. thanks Mr. Foley, you just gave your story legs again.
and don't be too surprised if the clergy you claimed molested you files suit.
