So, did Foley Throw an Innocent Priest under the bus to save his ASS?

[matcom]

or do you think his story is legit.

inquiring minds and all that

[htuttle]

1. I don't think he gave up any names, did he?

Last I'd heard he hadn't.

[MADem]

8. His lawyer just had a presser saying he was coughing up a name NT

[Poiuyt]

2. Personally, I don't believe he was molested OR that he's an alcoholic

He's just using that as an excuse to hide.

[AndreaCG]

10. Wonkette had posted stories that his rehab was a sham

He was spotted not long ago in Palm Beach IIRC.

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. If he went to that Scientology joint in Clearwater

then he certainly didn't go to rehab.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. wonkette is worse than useless.....did you see that story, or the alleged

PICTURE of Foley?

I look more like Foley than that picture

wonkette is almost as bad as drudge

[Marnieworld]

16. Personally, I don't care if he was molested or is an alcoholic

It doesn't excuse his behavior.

He'll have to see the light of day eventually. Come OUT Come OUT FOley!

3. We'll never know....

But it's more cause for religious Catholics and Evangelicals to stay home on election day.

11. Yeah, bringing in preists is increasing his damage to the right.

Especially if it looks like he's creating excuses. The impression sent will be just as you said.

[babylonsister]

4. I think he's just extending and focusing the story with this.

I cannot even fathom their thinking; you'd think they'd want the story out of the public eye.

[brook]

7. Maybe Foley's

getting even with the GOP for abandoning him? Like you, I think Rove & Co. would rather we be focused on important matters - like Madonna's new child or Lindsay Lohan's father.

OTOH, better focus on Foley than on NK saying sanctions are a "Declaration of War" and he will deal "mercilessly" with anyone interfering with that nation's sovereignty.

Edited to add last paragraph.

[keta11]

5. Wait and see

Foley is gonna name a DEAD priest as the one who molested him!!!

[MADem]

6. We will know if the diocese releases the name he gave them, AND

I have to say that if the priest is dead, we can figure Foley's just responding to the demands of people who said "WTF? You KNEW there was a perv priest out there all these years, and did NOTHING??? You BASTARD!!!!"

If the priest is alive, we'll have to hear from him.

I'm thinking he might just be craven enough to pick the name of a dead guy, but I'm cynical....we shall see.

[spanone]

9. Foley is a chickenshit pedophile encouraged by his peers.

[MissB]

12. How much do you want to bet it is a DEAD priest?

[MichiganVote]

14. It will be a dead guy...agreed

[Gabi Hayes]

18. wrong...I saw the press conference, and they claim the guy is alive, and

they'll be giving his name tomorrow

this can only HURT the pugs, so let's enjoy it

priest might be collateral damage, though

a shame if he's innocent, but I can't imagine they'd have the balls to turn that page

[Imagevision]

15. What's to save? - has Rove talked Foley back into running??

[Donkeykick]

19. Dead Priest. Live Priest.

I just hope that it stays in the news a lot--right up to election day! :headbang:

[Parche]

20. foley

Foley is trying to ALTER his recent BAPTISM under fire PAGE scandal
He is in a real DOGMA at this time, as he is being REBUKED by his own
people, so in turn he blames the PRIEST

[Blackthorn]

21. I think he INVENTED an innocent priest to throw under the bus.
