Add the church to Foley's victims
I don't buy Mark Foley's story that he was molested by a clergyman when he was a teenager.
That's just another excuse, like his "alcoholism."
If he's trying to turn himself into a sympathetic figure, he can forget it as far as I'm concerned. Dragging the church into this sordid mess, with vague allegations, is shameless.
Another reason not to feel sorry for him: He can start collecting his congressional pension of $22,600 a year in 2010, and he might be able to use campaign funds for his legal expenses, the Palm Beach Post reports. He has $2.8 million in that little kitty.
