The Free Speech Zone: MARK FOLEY IS CRAZIER THAN MICK FOLEY

REALITY- Mark Foley is the former Congressman from Florida who resigned last Friday due to the apparent fact that he is, and has been since 1995 at least, a pedophile.

Mick Foley is a professional wrestler who since 1985 has wowed wrestling fans all over the world with death defying feats of, as Mick would say, "testicular fortitude". While these two men seem very different they do have at least one thing in common. They are both certifiably crazy.

However Mick Foley is only crazy in what he does to himself in, around, and sometimes high above wrestling rings. While Republican Congressman Mark Foley is crazy for the things he had done to other people, specifically underage male Congressional Pages, in, around, and sometimes high above Capitol Hill.

Mick Foley has gained a reputation for insanity by being involved in matches called things like Hell In The Cell, Barbed Wire Matches, and something termed a Japanese Death Match which actually involves using a series of small explosives against your opponent.

Mark Foley, in recent days, has garnered a reputation for lunacism by being involved with the afore mentioned underage Congressional Pages in, sexually explicit e-mails and instant messages involving masturbation.

Mick Foley gained instant fame by throwing himself (with the aid of The Undertaker) off of a fifteen foot high steel cage. While Mark Foley has gained instant infamy by throwing himself at fifteen year old male pages.

Ex-Congressman Mark Foley is just the tip of a very ugly iceberg. It seems this sex scandal may go a lot deeper than Mark Foley himself. Folks like Speaker of The House Dennis Hastert (R) of Mississippi have already gotten some of this mess on them. And rightly so, the question is who knew what and when did they know it.

And the answer is just about every member of The Republican Congressional Caucus who have been running away from Mark Foley faster than they have been running away from George W. Bush.

The next thing you're sure to hear from The Right-Wing Media is that you can't attack Mark Foley because he is a homosexual. Of course The Right-Wing is the side that enjoys attacking homosexuals at every possible turn. But that is what they will say.

They will say things like "I thought The Democrat party was for gay marriage, how can they now attack a man for being a homosexual?" Simple, no one is attacking Mark Foley for being a homosexual. They are attacking him because he is a child molester.

The fact that Mark Foley jumped up out of his seat and proclaimed his gay-ness can't and will not inoculate him against losing his job, the ruin of his political credibility, or lengthy jail sentence for the crimes he has committed. And it should be obvious that his self-outing was more a political move then a personal admission.

For the record Mark I don't care if you’re gay or not. I do however insist that if you’re going to have sexual relations with men, that you wait until they turn 18 like everyone else.

Another Right-Wing talking point you're likely to hear is that since this has been going on since 1995 that all of it is somehow Bill Clinton's fault since he was President then.

They are too short sighted to realize that that statement implies that since George W. Bush is President now, then all of the problems we face now are in fact W.'s fault now.

The fact of the matter is that this story, while tragic for the youths involved, is not as big a story as Bush inventing reasons for war in Iraq.

Going so far as to allow the tragic events of September The Eleventh to take place in order to facilitate his own Neo-Nazi agenda.
