More Foleys?

This is interesting. As a rule of thumb, when there's one scandal, there are usually more that explode due to the sudden publicity. The same logic may be applying around Washington, D.C., if the rumors are true.

As the scandal over former congressman Mark Foley entered its sixth day, one Republican warned that there may even be further disclosures involving other politicians. "People are very, very concerned," said Representative Ray LaHood, an Illinois Republican. "They think there are going to be more disclosures."

So here's a theory: is this a GOP-specific problem? I'd say it is, this because obviously, to win, they need their snarling rabble whipped up to full hate form. You can't do that if you have gay people serving openly - sorry, Log Cabiners. As a result, these guys are deep in the closet and looking for some relief. Then, put together deeply repressed, self-loathing (but powerful) individuals and kids far away from home for probably the first time. Presto, magic happens.

Is it any wonder?

And thus, the GOP's hatred of gays now comes back to bite them in the ass.
