Foley not drunk when voting but when IMing? It doesn't add up.

[eleny]

One of the IMs I read the other day showed that he had to interrupt an IM because he had to go vote in the House. So, if he was always drinking when IMing....?

1. I guess his lawyer didn't know about that...

when he floated that one out there. :shrug:

2. Simple reason for that....It's a lie

Foley is no alcoholic.

Doesn't matter anyway. It is still illegal to attempt to molest someone while drunk, and the alcohol didn't make him do it.

3. maybe I've just been drinking weaker stuff...

When I get drunk, I tend to be rather stupid, but I've never screamed that "the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" or had the urge to ask 16-year-old guys to measure their penises for me.

Eh, maybe Gibson and Foley just have access to stronger tequila....

4. Forget about Foley

Ket him come up with his own lies and alibis. Let him explain it judge.

I want to know what the GOP leadership was thinking when they let this slide. Were they all getting drunk together in Hastert's office?
