Taking No Prisoners in the Mark Foley Scandal

The Feline Theocracy's Vicar of Victory has posted an interesting piece about the Mark-Foley-likes-little-boys scandal. So has our Patriarch of the Airwaves, Hugh Hewitt.

For me, outside of putting Mark Foley behind bars, this is much ado about nothing. All the fussing about hypocrisy and the finger-pointing about improper investigations and the accusations of the news media leaking the details in dribs and drabs seems to be like a boxer complaining he's getting hit.

It's politics. Of course people are going to try and make hay out of this. The whole industry has nothing to sell but persuasion. It just shows the childishness of some in the political class that they think tattling and pointing and making faces will get us to buy their ideology.

President Clinton using the Justice Department as his own private Gestapo is one thing, but scandals like this and the old Barney Frank gay brothel one just don't rate all the press they get.
