THE GAY OLD PARTY-- REPUBLICAN COVER-UP CONTINUES FOR FOLEY. WHEN WILL FOX NEWS START LABELING HAGGARD A DEMOCRAT?

Haggard's a big deal. He actually leads the Republican jihad of hatred against gay men and women and now he's admitting he's... well... what is he admitting exactly? The tapes seem to indicate that he'll be admitting everything by the end of the day. Here's the guy who has helped his female counterpart, the odious Colorado congresswoman, Marilyn Musgrave, whose entire career is based on gay-bashing, outspend Angie Paccione by ten to one in CO-04, and now it's clear that while he and Musgrave were planning more legislative assaults on gay American families, he was sneaking around paying male prostitutes for dirty sex and drugs. These Republicans are very, very sick people. They shouldn't be in charge of anything. They should be in mental hospitals getting treatment.

Meanwhile Tom DeLay's handpicked "ethics" committee has decided to continue the Republican cover-up of the Mark Foley page molestation case until after the midterm elections. They are desperate to save the House seats of the principal conspirators in the cover-up: Denny Hastert (who most Republican insiders know is also a hirer of gay male prostitutes), Tom Reynolds, Sue Kelly, Deborah Pryce, John Shimkus, and, of course, Doc Hastings, the crook DeLay put in charge of making sure ethics in the House would never hold back any Republican criminal enterprises, be them seducing young boys or stealing millions of dollars.


UPDATE: REPUBLICANS ALWAYS SAY IT WAS "JUST A MASSAGE" WHEN THEY GET CAUGHT

Crooked Republican congressman Don Sherwood was caught strangling his mistress of 5 years, a woman the same age as Sherwood's granddaughter. First he denied everything, of course, and later, when confronted with irrefutable evidence, he said he was just giving her a massage. He is also paying her hush money-- a half million dollars-- to not go on TV and speak about it before November 7. But it was "just a massage."

When gay Republican Congressman Jim Kolbe was using high school students from the congressional page program like a lending library, inviting them for sleep-overs and on camping trips, he grossed out other adults who happened to see him fondling young men. But it was "just a massage."


Now we have an advisor to George Bush and one of the biggest lights of the "Christian" Right (if Jesus had stayed in a grave, he'd be rolling over) claiming that his three years of sex and drugs with a gay prostitute in Denver was "just a massage." Don't these Republican politicians have any shame? Don't answer that; it was rhetorical.

Haggard wouldn't say whether or not the massage had happy endings.
