President George W. Bush walks with FEMA official Mike Brown (left) and U.S. Rep. Mark Foley (right). Is this the ultimate nightmare of incompetence, venality and stupidity in government or what?

P.S.  Is that a teenage boy right behind Foley?  Oh nooooooooooo!!!!

Whoever that guy is behind Foley... (DanG - 10/3/2006 7:29:43 PM)
He appears to be giving some kind of look.

the abuse excuse (pvogel - 10/3/2006 7:33:50 PM)
Now foleys laywersays foley was abused from 13 to age 15.

They still dont get it.

George Bush will be the lamest duck in 70 years!!!!



I thought the White House line was... (Lowell - 10/3/2006 7:44:47 PM)
that this was just some "naughty e-mails."  Oh yeah, they changed that story, just like the top Republican leadership in the House keeps changing its story, and just like George Allen keep changing HIS stories about "macaca," etc.  Does anyone sense a pattern here?


Evolution Republican style (Teddy - 10/3/2006 7:51:02 PM)
Have you ever noticed how Republican excuses and alibis EVOLVE?

Nice to have living evidence that even their most Intelligent Designs seem to have an evolutionary life of their own... from denial to trivialization, to this or that whine alibi, to blaming Democrats to blaming Clinton, and sometimes all the way to righteous anger against liberals who caused the difficulty in the first place.



everyone missed.. (drmontoya - 10/3/2006 7:54:20 PM)
Jeb Bush in the background..

I really think that's him.. look at all the faces..



That's Jeb and BTW (Shenandoah Democrat - 10/3/2006 8:08:43 PM)
That's definitely Jeb Bush in the background between his brother and Foley.
BTW, Foley played a key role supporting W in the 2000 Florida recount, and his Congressional District is home to many of America's wealthiest corporate millionaires, thus making him a conduit for GOP fund-raising. Millions and millions flow from his district every cycle to support GOP and right wing activities. These are all good reasons why Bush and the GOP wouldn't want to upset his apple cart by exposing his weird sexual proclivities.


The Monkey's theme song (TurnVirginiaBlue - 10/3/2006 8:27:37 PM)
Here they come, walkin' down the street,
callin' out Macaca, at everyone they meet.

Hey, hey it's the Bushies, phony compassion abound.
Don't ask them to function, they're too busy foolin' around.

Hey, hey it's the Bushies, corruption racket profound.
They're too busy lying to help anybody up who's down.



I thought this political climate was bad (Matt in VA - 10/3/2006 8:42:27 PM)
and now Foley. And his defenders. What is this world coming to? Even child predation? Not even pedophilia is enough to make these people realize that they are wrong? A war, a hurricane, a Congressionally-sanctioned pedophile. I'm sick in my heart and I only know of one way to stop these people. We need to take back this government. It's urgent, and we have only five weeks to make sure we take the first step.


the three stooges? (tuscumbia - 10/3/2006 9:04:21 PM)
But that's a disservice to Curly, Larry and Moe. At least they were competent at their craft.


Dumb, Dumberest, and Dumberer... (Loudoun County Dem - 10/3/2006 10:04:31 PM)
Ugh!!!


See no evil, evil, speak evil... (Loudoun County Dem - 10/3/2006 10:05:45 PM)


Foley is the victim here! (thegools - 10/3/2006 10:14:23 PM)
Wait a minute, Foley has admitted he is an alcoholic and is getting treatment.  Now, it turns out he has disclosed that he was molested by a PRIEST(!!!) when he was young.  Now it turns out he is also gay!! 

Now that that is out in the open I don't see how anyone blames him for what he did.  He is clearly the victim here.  Poor guy.......

(gag).



and he was supposedly drunl when he sent the "naughty" messages (Used2Bneutral - 10/4/2006 4:07:47 AM)
AND if that is true, becuase of the time stamps on each email and IM, he would have had to have been drunk while on the floor of the house during votes and debate.... NOT !!


Since this goes back to 1995... (Lowell - 10/4/2006 6:40:21 AM)
...and was going on almost continuously, it would appear, is Mark Foley arguing he's been a raging alchoholic for OVER A DECADE now?!?  Hey, if you believe THAT, I've got some a nice Republican Congressman who'd like to take your teenage son out for some ice cream!


Jethro, Jed and Palm Beach County's Mr. Drysdale... (vote-left - 10/3/2006 11:18:01 PM)

not gonna lie (littlepunk - 10/4/2006 12:10:25 AM)
this is a very funny picture.


Wonkette has the picture up (PM - 10/4/2006 9:56:23 AM)
Wonkette says "you saw it here first" but Lowell you beat him/her to the punch.  I say him/her because she isn't writing her column now -- and I think a guy writes it.  Anyway, Wonkette has done a great job on George Allen.


In the video version, they're all walking backwards. (RayH - 10/4/2006 11:26:08 AM)
