Out of the mouth of Mark Foley...

[cynatnite]

“For too long our nation has tracked library books better than it has sex offenders. That day is coming to an end,” said Foley. “Senator Hatch and Leader Frist have been resolute in keeping this legislation on track. We are closing loopholes that sex offenders and pedophiles have used to prey on children.”

4. This should be fun

For years, gays and heterosexuals have pointed out that having sex with teenagers is not pedophilia. It may not be legal, but it's not the same thing as having sex with five year olds. The right wing, of course, says it's the same thing.

What do you think Foley is going to say?
