Thread Name: BS: Mark Foley Scandal
Subject: RE: BS: Mark Foley Scandal
"Mark Foley's behaviour, while deplorable, is of equivalent importance to the real world as was Bill Clinton's blowjob. Zilch!"

So far as Foley's behaviour, in and of itself, the difference is the age of Foleys's targets, which is not irrelevant. But a genuinely equivalent scenario would have to involve Clinton eating out underage girls (or at the least looking for the opportunity) for a period of years, while a substantial number of leading democrats knew about it and helped to cover it up. But hey, that wouldn't reflect on his fitness for national office or anything...
