Here is a telling exchange as to how the Republican Reptiles are going to position ex-Congressman Mark Foley’s indiscretions. From CNN’s American Morning between Soledad O’Brien and Chief Dubya Fartcatcher Tony Snow:
"O’BRIEN: I would assume everybody would want to know, including the president. I mean, we’re not talking about any old person. We’re talking about the leadership of the Republicans in Congress. Why would he not hear something that’s disturbing, or his office — over-friendly — when I see that word as a parent — and I think any parent would say, Whoa, over-friendly? Any communication between a 16-year-old and a congressman, why doesn’t that raise red flags — major, massive red flags?
SNOW: Yes, look, I hate to tell you, but it’s not always pretty up there on Capitol Hill. And there have been other scandals, as you know, that have been more than simply naughty e-mails."
Naughty e-mails? To carry it further, in Tony Snow’s World, Lee Harvey Oswald merely cured JFK’s migraines and the Holocaust was a package tour that went bad?
I know these people have no shame whatsoever, but this is over the top for a PR Fartcatcher. Even the PR Fartcatcher for Dubya. Even Ari Fleischer never went this far.
