Mr. [Mark "What ya wearing?] Foley reportedly sent the messages to the first page in August 2005. Mr. [Representative Rodney] Alexander told a Louisiana newspaper this week that he had told the page’s parents and the Republican House leadership about them “10 or 11 months ago.” But House leaders said Friday that they had not known about the incident until the day before.
I assume Atrios is playing coy here, and not genuinely perplexed about the awesome, fantasizing-about-a-teen-in-tight-shorts hugeness of this scandal. So my charge to you, dear reader, is to come up with a pithy one-liner for Democrats to trot out at every goddamn opportunity over the next 6 weeks. My entry:
What Mark Foley wanted to do to one teenage boy, the rest of his Republican colleagues have been doing to the whole country over the last six years.
If Republican House leadership would cover up a sexual f***ing predator for fear of a scandal, what would be too bad to blow the whistle on???
Duke’s dick, Foley’s phalanges, what other Members of the House do we need to worry about?
“Thanks Republicans, it’ll never mean ‘Not Another Million Bow-Legged Astronauts,’ aagain.”
Cue spooky music.
Mark Foley’s appointment to the Congressional Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children was the single instance of a Republican appointee in the past six years who had first-hand experience for the job.
I hear that the House leadership is saying that the reason that they covered up the Folenis scandal but publicized the Clenis scandal is that male pages are way hotter than Monica Lewinsky.
The difference between George Bush and Mark Foley is that Mark Foley didn’t actually fuck anybody.
Hey, if a 52-year-old Republican can seriously think that he makes a 16-year old boy “horny,” why should it seem strange that the Republicans also think that the average Iraqi citizen loves America?
And when you turn 18, you can join the Marines, and die for me, too.
Clif – you’re a champion.
If anyone could get a clip from Beverly Hills Cop with whatshisname saying “FOLEY!!!!!!!” I would give them 1 million 3B dollars.
13B dollar = 1e-99 argentine pesos circa 1983…just sayin’!
SHUT IT!
Nice Gregor!!
- What’s a 3B dollar?
- Well it’s money that’s made just for the blog. It works just like regular money, but it’s, er…”fun”.
- Well, OK, if it’s fun…let’s see, uh…I’ll take $1 million worth.
- Welcome to http://blog.3bulls.net. 3B dollars not accepted.

hahahahahahahhahah!
true
Keeeeeeee-ripes!1! They’ve been watching us masturbate?!? D’oh!
[hastily buttons up 501s]
OK. All better.
Also, they’ve been making sure we take our well oiled bodies to the manly gym!
Canadian 3B dollars are only worth 0.7 American 3B dollars.
No Marq, not watching us masturbate, listening to us masturbate through their illegal wiretaps while we have phone sex. Which makes me wonder how they weren’t on top of the Mark Foley situation months ago.
“I’m Mark Foley, I used to be a US Congressman, now I live in a van down by the river.”
almost
“Well, really it’s one of those big plush tour buses and it’s parked at the Heritage Foundation.”
“But I’m here today to motivate you to spank it.”
I’m Mark Foley and I approve this massage.
