Mark Foley On Getting Tough On Pedophiles: "If I Were One Of Those Sickos..."

"...I'd be nervous," he says, nervously.

Oh Dear: Foley's own webpage about getting tough on Internet predators.

Via Kaus, who notes the New York Times' -- the paper of record, remember -- deliberate conflation of the earlier, less salacious emails with the later, damning ones in trying to rope Denny Hastert into this.

You just can't believe them. It's that simple. They intentionally lie.

This story is quite bad enough, as Kaus (and everyone else) notes, without the NYT deliberately misleading its readership about it.

Congressional Pages Warned Not To Get Too Close To Foley... Back In 2001: According to ABCNews.

Sweetness & Light, meanwhile, notes Gerry Studds (D) was censured for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old page, and yet defiantly turned his back on Congressmen as the censure was read a loud. And he was relected to five more terms as Congressmen-- despite having fucked a minor.

He also posts a dynamite picture of Barney Frank, conducting his own "outreach" on what appears to an underage boy.

I'm sure you remember all the furor over this picture.
