Why is Mark Foley not in jail?
The republicans are asking the AG to investigate the issue of Foley’s IM’s. The democrats are screaming for the republicans to all be investigated in case any of the top GOP knew about the dirty IM’s from Mark Foley to children. The democrats are claiming that the republicans where trying to keep it quiet until after the election so they would not lose a seat. If this is the case, they should resign themselves for putting politics before the safety of children. I do wonder though, how long the democrats knew about it before they broke the news. Washington is the worst place in the world to keep a secret. Once again the democrats have been saved by sudden discovery of wrongdoing by a republican so late in the campaign that the republicans can’t remove the name from the ballots. If they knew about it and waited, they should resign themselves for putting politics before the safety of children. Will we ever know? Nah. I really don’t think any of the politicians care. There will be lots of spin one way or the other. A few more headlines, then it will just be footnote, only brought up again next time someone does something with the pages. The sad part is this guy is a sick individual, using his position of power to harm children. Sure he resigned. Sure the FBI is investigating. But really why is his sorry ass not in a jail cell. The answer is simple and sad: The poor go to jail, the rich and famous go to rehab. |
