Surprise, it's October!
For some background, read this 2004 New York Press article by Michelangelo Signorile: Liberace Candidate Mark Foley’s glass closet.
The timing is bad, but the political party of George W. Bush is glad to get rid of Mark Foley; the guy was always threatening to become an embarassment. He wasn't right wing enough for them anyway. They'll take their chances with Foley's vacant Florida congressional seat. If Democrats luck out & win there next month, the Repugs will take it back in '08 when the Diebold voting machines are wired up according to the Electoral College Majority Plan. The only way this can totally backfire is if Foley turns out to be an active chicken hawk, which would make the House Majority leadership something like the hierarchy of the Archdiocese of Boston, & it'll be news right through Election Day. But so far there's been no accusations. It's just that a sizable percentage of this nation becomes completely unhinged over a microsecond glimpse of Janet Jackson's nipple, & now here's this really creepy politician who besides reputedly being gay & a frontman for The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children - which itself isn't a problem - also sends sexually suggestive e mails & instant messages to teenage boys & who happens to be a Republican, the self-proclaimed official party of heterosexuality with a core base that is for the preemptive spanking of children & against women exposing their bosoms in public & probably in private, too. Of course, the wingnuts say it's an election year setup by Democrats & the liberal MSM. If the Dems had that kind of media clout, we'd have a President Kerry now. It's an "October Surprise" the Repugs brought upon themselves, & they deserve to get badly beat up over it.
