The sad thing about this Foley scandal is that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are free of guilt. If the Democrats cared so much about the welfare of this young page and Mark Foley’s acts that could harm others, why was this information held so long and released so strategically before elections? And if the Republicans knew of this behavior and covered it up, that’s despicable as well. It’s a shame that inappropriate and indecent acts by politicians are either covered up, defended with some psychological babble to tone down their ugly appearance or deliberately, and with malice, used as a weapon against the opposing party. There’s a clear lack of integrity and moral character on both sides, and those withholding this information for greater impact should be under the same scrutiny as those who may have covered it up. It’s shameful in every way.
