Anyway, there is an ethical issue here. If you find nothing wrong with Foley or his boyfriends, is it really a valid ethical position to castigate him? See, I have this conflict. I hate jerks like Foley who have made use of homophobia and some indistinct public fear/fascination with sexuality. It would great fun to destory him and the Repugnants with such faux scandals. But somehow that is just as perverse a use of the political realm as the Right—which has succeeded in destorying any political discourse, just as they did with Clinton and Monica.
Yup, exactly. That’s why I posted that Dem press release from the
other day with the subject heading “shameless pandering.” It’s crap.
I can understand, from a purely opportunistic point of view, why
they’re doing it. But it’s unprincipled crap.
It’s so good to see someone pointing out that 16-year-olds aren’t
kids, too.
