How much does it suck to be Mark Foley right now?

Not THE Mark Foley, but a Mark Foley.

You have to figure that with that fairly common name, there're a number of poor guys out there who are endlessly hearing about all this.

If you know one, be nice.

(The Foley stories are getting worse with evidence he (at least) tried to solicit sex, was doing this back in 1995, and with "acquaintances" openly questioning the alcohol story.)

(Also: FoxNews (O'Reilly) shows Foley as a Democrat.)

  • RE: Fox showing Foley as D-FL

    I'm never sure with O'Reilly. This could be one of two things: a) conspiracy to shift the scandal as a pervert Dem problem, or b) they actually drink their own KoolAide and are buying into their own truth-free zone.

    While I think Fox Corp. is certainly capable of, and has engaged in, the first, I'm also of the opinion that O'Reilly and others on his staff are more likely to slip into the second.

  • I agree. I would also add the possibility that it was just a mistake of some sort.

    Or maybe a backroom joke that accidentally got on the air.

    It certainly might've been some intentional thing by O'Reilly's crew, I don't know.

    But it did happen on FoxNews and on that show, so it is automatically suspect.

    Jim Lehrer didn't make that mistake. ya know?
