Wonkette: Battlefield Foley (new Scientology angle!)

[Barrett808]

Gay sex with children, underage drinking, gross e-mails and IMs, Congress, the Republicans, Macaca, rehab … you were probably thinking there was no possible way this story could get better. Oh ye of little faith, how about a heaping helping of Scientology?

First, our trusty Scientology Investigator sent us this detail:

Foley sent his “Gone to Detox Mansion” fax from Clearwater, Florida. Are there any rehab joints there that aren’t run by Scientology? Remember, that’s the same cult that says they can ‘cure’ homosexuality ….

Let’s investigate, after the jump.

Clearwater is known as the town Scientology built … or at least the town Scientology almost completely redeveloped. Clearwater is also home to Narconon, L. Ron Hubbard’s homemade rehab program.

And it turns out Foley was no stranger in Clearwater.

2. Maybe we'll get Tom Cruise dragged into this story, too.

That would take it nuclear.

3. Scientologists to merge with Moonies, BushCo and Skull & Boners?

What the hell. It could get creepier yet.

We already know that the Moonies and BushCo have a THING for each other, and that BushCo's roots reach right in the Skull & Boner Krypt?

Why not go for for the Whole Freakin Enchilada.

Ahhhhhh. I'm going for a walk up on the mountain. Sometimes it is all too...too...too...

4. oh for pete's sake....

Google is a wonderful thing-- there is at least one rather tony rehab resort in Clearwater that is apparently unassociated with the church of scientology: http://www.alternative2rehab.com/main.html

Look at the sections on living accomodations and recreational facilities-- I'll bet that's where Foley is hiding out.
