Last Foley rant of the week

This thing's been played to death, but it amazes me the audacity and even the stupidity of the Right on this scandal. Right-wing toters like Hannity and Limbaugh have already said that Foley's punishment has been handed down. Funny, because the Right made Bill Clinton turn the summer of 1998 into a crucifixion tour, where he had to apologize and atone at almost every stop. Foley's punishment has been doled out in the past two weeks for preying on a minor?

This is the party that's supposed to be all about personal responsibility. As most readers will probably deduce, I'm more likely to vote Democrat that Republican (but I'll cross over party lines for folks like McCain and Hagel because, honestly, I'm more concerned about resolving this shitstorm in Iraq than the gay marriage issue), but even as a Democrat, I even went through a few weeks of disillusionment when Clinton came clean (Jesus, that's a bad pun) with his affair. Most of what I've been hearing on the far Right has been about how the kid must have led Foley on or even more laughable, blame the culture of tolerance more than blame Foley himself. And sorry to break this to the members of Focus on the Family, but adults have been preying on kids way before Will and Grace ever hit airwaves.

I leave with this great blast from Olbermann -
