Do you consider Barney Frank a pedophile? He didn''t text message 17 year olds, he had s*xual relations with one. Another of his young lovers had a prostitution ring taking place in the Congressman''s basement. Is that Ok?

"The work I was doing was involving young children ... You know, you hear the term ''pedophile.'' That is prepubescent," Foley said, noting a "huge difference" from lurid chats with teens on the brink of adulthood. --Foley

Excuse me, you jerk:

You sir, ARE a pedophile! My daughter hit puberty at age 10. My son at age 12. That they were "post-pubescent" does not qualify them for your sick sexual advances! And sir, if you had come near them, you would be looking to to "find your way back" from 6 feet under!

Some more of those good-old "Republican family values" we''''re always hearing about. The fact he wasn''''t prosecuted is a travesty.

The real travesty is that Barney Frank along with Chris Dodd and Company won''t be prosecuted for the financial ruin this country is facing because of the Sub Prime mortgages of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Through in the thugs from Acorn who Obama represented as a lawyer and "community organizer".

Spare us from people like this. His penchant for children is horrifying no matter what the orientation. And his attempts to claim that it was okay? And to blame a priest years ago? The hypocrisy is stunning... what a creep. Sorry Foley, we don''t feel sorry for you.

These were 17-year-olds, just months from being men, he insists."

Was it also ewwwwwwwwwwww when Barney Frank had s*xual relations with a 17 year old intern/page? How about when one of his boyfriends was carrying on a prostitution ring in the basement of his home?

Classic example of a republican, church going politician. It was the interns fault obviously.

"I loved my early life, and then along comes a priest ... who forces me into a sexual relationship at the age of 12. And right shortly thereafter, I fail eighth grade, I start drugs, I start drinking, I start smoking," he said. "My entire life ... implodes."

Something tells me he kinda liked all that attention,
acting like an adult.

See, Foley is one of those not born to the lifestyle, but rather, was sucked into it.

wink, wink.

"And while he concedes his behavior was "extraordinarily stupid," he remains somewhat unwilling to accept full public scorn.

These were 17-year-olds, just months from being men, he insists."

Are we supposed to feel sorry for you Mark Foley? Is this why you wanted this interview? I don''t care if you are a republican or democrat (whatever), you sent LEWD, EXPLICIT, LURID e-mails to 17 year old boys. Yes, BOYS. Take full responsibility, you creep of creeps, just like any other pedophile. The only reason you admit our actions are "profoundly regrettable" is because YOU GOT CAUGHT! "Extraordinarily stupid" - what???? Oh, and stop the blame game once and for all.

"I''m trying to find my way back," Foley said..."

What he meant was find some back sides - nice young ones.

"The fact is I allowed this to happen" This is not a statement of a remorseful man. That''s like saying "I allowed myself to beat my wife". It''s a total copout. Go hide 2 more years and let us know if you feel bad then.

The fact is, these kids were interns because they trusted elected officials to treat them with respect and discretion. Harassment of an underling is never appropriate regardless of the gender of the one harassing.

Hey CBS? Where is an updated story on William Jefferson? You know, he is the Congressman who accepted a $100,000 bribe from a foreign gov''t and the FBI found $90,000 of the money in his freezer? On top of that the Dem controlled congress has taken no action to expel this criminal.

As a gay man, I have frequently observed that the vast majority of GAY REPUBLICANS are self-loathing pedophiles.

Being Gay and Republican is a lot like being Jewish and Nazi.

Most gay people have no respect for gay Republicans.

He could start up some kind of all male review, a burlesque show of some kind. They could sing, dance, and do a line dance instead of the Rocketters, the Cockettes.
