Republican Moral Superiority

Whilst catching up on the latest scintillating news about Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley's "naughty" (to use Tony Snow's characterization) antics I came across a huge list of other US Republican officials and elected...umm...members who've run into problems having to do with their own predilection for pursuing sexual escapades with the youth of America.

It's here. Try not to scream and throw things at your monitor.

And while we're on the subject of Republican chicanery with the underage population let's not forget the Franklin scandal - again.

And the thundering silence from the religious right on the Foley mess is telling too. Not one of the sanctimonious pricks has said word one in condemnation of this asshole Foley, thus tacitly condoning his behaviour.

These are all the organizations who have recently set up shop in Ottawa.

I look forward to their moral guidance.

We should be a real Sodom and Gomorah by the time they're done with us.

Of course, being Republicans, they're looking for ways to institutionalize the right to ogle and grope underage people now.

It's so reassuring to know Harper's Conservative government considers the Republican Party to be their ally and model in the fight to return to our traditional values.

I'm so looking forward to it.
