Here's what's truly disgraceful about the behavior of former Congressman Mark Foley:
He acted like a Democrat from Massachusetts.
But which Democratic congressman from Massachusets? The one who molested a Congressional page? Or the one whose boyfriend ran a prostitution business out of his DC apartment?
And while we're thinking about it: Which of those lawmakers, after the scandal broke, was re-elected with an ample majority?
Oh, wait. Both of them. Never mind.
Afterthought: In 2002, secular journalists in Boston were horrified to learn that many Catholic priests had behaved no better than their Congressional representatives. I was horrified, too. But then I hadn't endorsed those politicians for re-election.
