Oh, so now Ney publicly talks about his alcohol treatment too

[kysrsoze]

Well, you'll have no problem going cold turkey in the slammer. So now I guess we blame every transgression on the bottle. This is unbelievable. I hope nobody actually buys that crap. There are a lot of functioning alcoholics who don't molest boys or accept bribes.

1. and I know a lot of them--they work, they go home, they drink. .

2. Wait...wait...

So this means our government is run by a bunch of alcoholic pedophiles who take bribes? And this is supposed to make us feel BETTER?

:eyes:

3. Alcoholism is supposed to be a disease......

.....so Ney, Foley et al, aren't crooks, thieves, liars and pedophiles, nope. They are ill, see.......all their 'transgressions' are symptoms of their disease....

6. Sorry, but Repukes pointed out that "being gay" is a lifestyle choice

and they kept pointing out that gays are really pedophiles ... so Foley chose to be a pedophile ...

I have little reason to show him mercy ...

7. Ooooops, musta forgot to put the sarcasm sticker.....

....on my post above.....B-)

4. new excuse

I'm not to blame for my corruption - I was drunk at the time

ya know, many businesses require a drug test before hiring someone and others do 'surprise' testing -- maybe we should start requiring the same of our legislators -- breathalyzer tests when the enter/exit the building

5. Sounds like it is time

for mandatory random drug and alcohol testing for ALL government employees, as there obviously a trend here that points to a wide spread problem.
