The Mark Foley email/IM sex scandal is quickly unraveling for the Democratic Party since Brian Ross of ABC surfaced the emails to the Nation and to the World. Examining the fallacies originally reported, let’s set this straight:
- The lurid AOL Instant Messenger, Jordan Edmund, was 18 years old at the time (that debunks the idea of the page being 16-17 years old)
- Two people close to Edmund have admitted the messages were part of an online prank that went awry
- Those involved in the scandal are now fearful that their political careers will be affected if they are publicly brought into the investigation (Explains why Edmund now wants Stephen Jones (former Timothy McVeigh attorney) to represent himself.
- Brian Ross claims he was too busy to report the emails due to the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and September 11th.
We, as a nation, were painted a picture by the Liberal media of Foley being a sick, twisted, no good child molester, taking advantage of young adults with the power he possessed with his political held office.
Now granted, I do not condone the actions of Foley and I, like many others, am glad to see the resignation of Foley.
However, the page was of legal consenting age and not the poor, innocent child that we were blatantly led to believe and now two people close to Edmund have admitted the messages were online pranks that went awry.
To think these individuals involved are fearful of their political careers potentially being affected is absurd. Guess what, their careers are over, now non-existent, put a fork in them because they are done. To think that a kid (18 years old) has truly messed the rest of their life up holds so much truth. Maybe Democrats will realize that what a kid does at an early age really does dictate how the rest of their life will turn out (i.e. doing well in school, doing drugs, etc. or in this case a prank that will forever tarnish the image of those involved from Foley to the pranksters.)
Also we have ABC’s Brian Ross who was just too busy to report the messages because of coverage he was doing for the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the five year anniversary of 9/11. Bull Shit. I call it, B.S. This is merely ‘Politics 101’ by the Democratic Party and let’s look at the time line of this Liberal propaganda:
- Valerie Plame July
- Downfall of the Bush Administration with Hurricane Katrina August
- Politicizing of 9/11 by President Bush September
- Lowering of gas prices by the Republican Party to gain votes September
- Jeanine Pirro September
- Mark Foley September
Fortunately for Americans this is backfiring on the corrupt Democratic Party.
