Foley and DC

Here in DC, everyone seems to be talking about Foley. I just think the whole scandal is sad and am torn by how I feel.

• I'm happy for a number of things: a) this is another tip toward Democratic control of the House come November; b) an alleged criminal is now out of congress; c) that anyone who knew about this and did nothing is going to take a fall.
• But I'm equally sad that: a) gays get unfairly slammed as "pedophiles" and "child molesters;" and b) that a project as noble as the Page Program in DC can be turned on its side by one nut.

I just hope that the blame game stops and we actually try to fix what is wrong and find out why it wasn't fixed earlier.
