Pre-October surprise
Josh Marshall sums up the Foley scandal:
I guess this is what they mean by eliminating the separation between church and state, with Foley as priest and the Republican leadership as the Catholic church.
Update: a dKos writer makes the same kind of comparison:
On the other hand, the Republican response should come as no surprise: the problem was that Foley was gay. Of course he preyed upon underage boys -- that's what "they" do, doncha know. Take it from Mr. Family Values, Newt Gingrich.
If I'm understanding this correctly, that means that the leaders of the House Republican caucus have known for almost a year that a member of their caucus was having cybersex with an underage congressional page. And apparently they did nothing about it.

Fifty years from now, when historians write about the social problem of sexual predators in early 21st Century America, they will put a photo of Cardinal Bernard Law next to a photo of Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

Mark Foley is a pedophile. Not gay. There is a difference. Perverts and predators like him hide among gay people so their vile
nature will not show.
Repubs haven't a clue, that's why they thought they could wait for
the problem to disappear. The fact that a person of authority, and as Foley,(hiding like a wolf vowing to protect children,)
could manipulate the young people makes me sick. He should go to jail. CREEP!
