This time from the folks who are trying to make us think that Foley’s an innocent victim. Both Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh posit that the IMs were pranks, or plants by Democrats to “lure” Foley (Limbaugh and Hastert). I can’t find the link now, but another Limbaugh transcript had him saying that the pages were pulling a boyish prank on Foley, as boys do – and he remembers doing such stuff himself. Ick. Here’s a list of Whom To Blame Besides Foley Himself that will make your stomach churn. Fox News circumvented all this creativity, and simply changed the caption under its Foley news stories to show him as D-FL – removing all Republican blame by turning him into a Democrat instead. Further examples of Republican moral values can be found here, if we’re not yet convinced that we have the wrong people in office. I tried finding a similar list for the Dems, but I suppose nobody’s quite as angry with them right now as they are with the GOP. They’re not innocent or exonerated, just looking better and better every day.
