To comment on the Rep. Weiner scandal, Sean Hannity invites Mark Foley.
Good freaking grief, people.
...
Mark Foley is about one inch away from being a child molester. This is unbelievable.
charles then:
...the page to whom Mark Foley sent explicit instant messages was 18 years old at the time
...there are PDFs of an IM exchange from February 2, 2003. The page in question apparently turned 18 on February 23, 2003.
Does anybody but me think this is the stupidest, most insanely overblown scandal yet?
in any case, i sent out a sarcastic tweet an hour ago, before i went looking in the archives:
@Lizardoid remember the deranged conspiracy theories you promoted about seekrit internet militias hacking foley's email? you were saner then
i was wrong to be sarchastic. charles did promote a deranged conspiracy theory or two in foley's defense.
in any case, does anyone even remember the fact that, after all of the gay-baiting and hem-hawing about foley's apparent crime of the century, that the democrat who picked up his seat had a sex scandal of his own in which he paid off a member of his campaign staff to the tune of $150,000 to keep quiet about their affair?
PS: was weiner talking with underage girls?
Mark Foley Emails Altered?

Now the Mark Foley story is getting weird. (Yes, I know it’s already weird, but this is weirder.) There doesn’t seem to be any doubt that Foley’s guilty of making advances to teenage boys—after all, he resigned—but there’s something very odd about the email messages being circulated by media and left wing blogs: Foleygate: Mark Foley emails altered.

Fever Swamp Blogs Hid Foley Evidence?

There’s now evidence that the fever swamp blogosphere (led by the vicious John Aravosis, who runs one of the ugliest of the lefty hate sites, Americablog), deliberately concealed information about Mark Foley for months without any concern for potential victims of Foley’s advances, so they could spring it on the public at election time. Gateway Pundit has a roundup: Get Your Lawyers… Foleygate Scandal About to Bust Open!
(And please note, because I know someone’s going to try this tactic: this post should in no way be construed as a “defense” of Rep. Foley, whose actions are completely inexcusable.)

If what Passionate America claims to have discovered is accurate, the page to whom Mark Foley sent explicit instant messages was 18 years old at the time: Meet Jordan Edmund One Mark Foley Instant Messenger.

This is now the headline at Drudge Report.

Allahpundit emails to say there are PDFs of an IM exchange from February 2, 2003. The page in question apparently turned 18 on February 23, 2003.
Does anybody but me think this is the stupidest, most insanely overblown scandal yet?

Still there’ll be more: The Bogus Blog Behind Foley’s Fall. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
