Triangulation Boomerang
Hmmm...in the Mark Foley saga, we now see the reverse of the Clinton years.
In the '90s, Clinton copted Republicans on policy issues; now, the Republicans have decided to co-opt Democrats on sex scandals!
Not sure if this reversal of fortune is going exactly the way the GOP would like it.
Geez, once upon a time, things were so simple: Republican scandals were about money and Democratic ones were about sex. Now, Republicans are resigning and/or being indicted over bribery, influence-peddling AND sex; Gingrich, Giuliani and McCain have eight marriages between them -- AND disgraced GOPers are going into rehab (a move that should earn them a lawsuit from the Kennedys for trademark violation).
So, what the hell is there left for Democrats to do???
