4. So why the hell isn't he in jail yet?
Oh, yeah, I forgot - he's American royalty, and thus immune to prosecution with laws such as internet child solicitation laws that only apply to us commoners...

:mad:

6. You mean a "Resort"
I'm working my whole life so that one day I might be able to afford to go to a retreat to quit smoking and drinking, and this is somehow a reprimand for Republicans. Life is good for them.

10. If he truly is an alcoholic
It's not uncommon to stay more than 30 days.

But conspiracy theories are more fun. :D

15. Or is it related to talk about the movie Foley was in printed yesterday?

Mark Foley Caught On Tape
PAGING OSCAR! Foley does all his own stunts

Mark Foley was adept at playing the role of a Republican congressman trying to save at-risk kids.

He did it for nearly 12 years as chair of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.

He also did it in a high-camp, low-budget action flop called Strike Force that went straight to DVD.

In the film, which also features a cameo by Burt Reynolds, Foley plays a congressman (identified in the credits only as "Republican Fairchild") who hires a band of violent, jet-setting vigilantes to rescue his kidnapped daughter.

16. Yes, let's get the Corporate Media to talk more about Foley.
That would be a good thing.
