Since resigning from Congress last Friday, Mark Foley’s been showing an interesting series of excuses for his pedophile behavior. I wonder which PR consultant is giving him clues on what to feed the press? Basically, he’s trying to divert the blame by becoming a victim himself:
- He blames alcoholism
- He blames sexual abuse by clergy
- He’s announced that he’s gay
- He’s entered rehab for alcoholism
Foley’s lawyer, David Roth, announced that the former Congressman is cooperating with law enforcement, preserving all e-mail and records, and anything else that investigators may want. Isn’t that precious? After years of inappropriate behavior on juveniles, he’s playing nice.
Florida Governor Jeb Bush ordered the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate thoroughly. Of course, there’s also a Congressional and FBI investigation. Who gets to nail him first? Probably an imprisoned father who doesn’t like pedophiles.
My suggestion to Mark Foley is to visit the find his prison name so he’s prepared for what awaits him.
