Responsibility

"I'm drunk!"
"I'm ghey!"
"I was molested!"
"No one understands me!"

Is it me or does Pedophile Emeritus Mark Foley have it all wrong? Is something missing from this equation? Since when does substance abuse, sexual orientation and tragic childhood events absolve people from personal responsibility?

I am giggling with delight about the fissure in the Repuglican Party. I shall not lie. I think this is titillating and salacious. Just like the Clinton blow-job thing (because...let's be honest folks...everyone knows a good Jewish girl does NOT willingly give head unless jewelry is involved).

What is really starting to piss me of is the litany of excuses oozing from Camp Foley (for kids). Cloaking yourself, concealing yourself and hiding behind your personal flaws and failures is not accepting responsibility for the fact that you're a flaming Pedo who cannot control his urges.

Your sexuality does not matter. Your taste for the sauce does not matter (because Washington is a "dry" town, after all). Your childhood does not matter.

You tried to diddle little boys. That matters.

Your colleagues tried to hide it. That matters.

You made a six figure donation to a campaign cause to cover your trail of slime. That matters.

Anything else is simply conjecture falling on very angry ears.
