As odious and sleazy as the Mark Foley matter is (and it definitely is [whatever "is" means]), one of the real tragedies in this is that it took a sexual matter to get some people stirred up about the myriad shortcomings of the Republican party. It didn't seem to matter much to some people that an obscenity of mammoth proportions was being foisted on them on a daily basis by the Republican administration (with complete complicity by the Republican congress) by the lies, deceits, half-truths, misinformation and utter negligent or intentional incompetence in the conduct of the invasion of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan. It took another blowjob or the suggestion of a blowjob to move these people. While the Foley matter and the cover up is regrettable, it involves a limited number of people and no one has died from this yet. Contrast this to the fact that more American soldiers and many more Iraqi civilians have died in this illegal invasion than were killed in 9-11, then the amount of outrage poured into Predatorgate as compared to the situation in Iraq is disproportional. Oh well, sex sells and homosexual sex gets the Republican base hot like few other subjects. All the while, Bush, Cheney and Rove are happy that this is taking their other crimes off the front page. That's another real tragedy.
