Mark Foley: "Pity me...I am the victim!"

In an effort to avoid personal responsibility, former Congressman Mark Foley has spent the last few days casting himself as the victim. Below is the current list of forces conspiring against Foley:

  • Alcoholism (link)
  • Clergy Abuse (link)
  • Left Wing Smear Tactics (link)
  • “Gay Spin” (link)
  • Media Feed Frenzy(link)
I’m not sure how these things absolve inappropriate, borderline pedophilic behavior and abuse of power. Which of those items forced him to write inappropriate emails and instant messages to underage pages? Oh, wait...it's easier to blame than to admit fault. This just reinforces my belief that personal accountability and MINIMAL moral standards are absent in politics. Ass.

Cheney to Chavez: "Bush Isn't Satan...I AM!"




Venezvuela's (where?) President Huga Chavez lost his mind Wednesday during his address to the United Nations (video). During his speech, he repeatedly referred to President Bush as "The Devil". Fueled by the initial laughs, he went on to rant that he still smelled the sulfur and brimstone. Click here for the full diatribe. The media has had some fun with this story, so you've probably heard all of this already...and even the Administration's official response (link).

What hasn't been covered by the "REAL" news is the Vice President's response. Dick has been silent to the Press, but insiders report that he's both outraged and a little hurt by the statements contending that "Bush isn't Satan...I AM. Everyone knows that, right?!?" Cheney was unavailable for comment but is reportedly back in Hell with Rumsfeld trying to regroup.
