Come out of the closet, Putz.

And just admit, finally, you're a hard-right GOP partisan. C'mon. You know you want to. Let's just end the suspense, okay? Drop the "non-partisan", "libertarian" charade, once and for all, and just embrace who you are. You might as well, now that you're showing your true colors with Foleygate, linking to all kinds of bogus right-wing white noise, like this:

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER: Now Drudge is reporting that "the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal."

Yeah, some prank (via ABC News).

Three more former congressional pages have come forward to reveal what they call "sexual approaches" over the Internet from former Congressman Mark Foley.

The pages served in the classes of 1998, 2000 and 2002. They independently approached ABC News after the Foley resignation through the Brian Ross & the Investigative Team's tip line on ABCNews.com. None wanted their names used because of the sensitive nature of the communications.

"I was seventeen years old and just returned to [my home state] when Foley began to e-mail me, asking if I had ever seen my page roommates naked and how big their penises were," said the page in the 2002 class.

The former page also said Foley told him that if he happened to be in Washington, D.C., he could stay at Foley's home if he "would engage in oral sex" with Foley.

C'mon, Putz. Stop spreading lame conspiracy theories penned by obscure wingnut bloggers, stop disgracefully outing teenage victims, stop making stuff up. Just. Stop.

The facts are simple. A 5-term Republican congressman, who happened to co-chair a House initiative to protect children, had sexually explicit conversations with several minors, and may have solicited sex with them. The GOP leadership knew about it for at least a year, did nothing about it, and tried to cover it up.

No amount of spin, lies, and blaming the Democrats or the media will change these basic facts.

Accept this and move on. You're embarassing yourself.

Three other pages describe Foley's online predation. The GOP is going to have to find another angle to deflect this. They've tried blaming the MSM; they've tried blaming Clinton; they've tried to turn all the victims into pranksters. It's been a worthy display. But in the end they may have to take ... responsibility. Remember that? It used to be a conservative value.

Heh.
