Disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley said through his lawyer Tuesday that he was sexually abused by a clergyman as a teenager, but accepts full responsibility for sending salacious computer messages to teenage male pages.
Attorney David Roth said Foley was molested between ages 13 and 15. He declined to identify the clergyman or the church, but Foley is Roman Catholic.
"Mark Foley wants you to know he is a gay man," Roth told reporters as Republicans struggled with fallout from Foley's resignation.
I will tell you this Foley: You will not have any friends in the gay community, because you haven't supported legislation for gay rights at all in the past. GOOD LUCK FINDING A DATE, YOU ASSHOLE. And, you won't have any Republican friends, because they all feel like you've betrayed their right-wing bigoted ways.I ask you, how many other closeted Republicans do we have out there? I'm willing to bet that there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Can someone please explain to me why a homosexual Republican could even exist? I know they're out there—i just don't know why. Why?
Here are some of Foley's Greatest Hits:
1. In the House, Foley was one of the foremost opponents of child pornography. Foley had served as chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. [THE IRONY OF THIS IS JUST TOO PROFOUND FOR ME TO EVEN COMMENT PROPERLY]
2. In late 2000 Foley played a large role in aiding George W. Bush during the Presidential election recount controversy in Florida.
