Reply #9: Compared to the Abramoff scandal, this Foley thing is resonating

[MADem]

to the hundredth power with the voting public.

Susie and Harry Voter, who don't gamble and don't know any Native Americans, don't frankly give a shit about Indians getting ripped off or lobbying firms making big money, or junkets to Scotland.

But they DO care about their children getting approached and recruited by a pervert.

I honestly do not care if we use the vaccuum cleaner or the broom to sweep the crap off the Hill. If the voting public is too dumb to "get" Abramoff, or the Iraq War (what, me worry? So say the putzes with no kid in the fight), or the rampant drunken-sailor spending, the general culture of corruption, well then, we'll just have to make do with PredatorGate.

Whatever works.
