Republicans comparing Mark Foley to Tim Mahoney... WTF?

Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 12:29 PM by moriah

A quote from Redstate recently:

Wow, that's pretty pathetic. Two years ago the DCCC gave the NRCC hell for raising any money for Mark Foley right after the sex(less) scandal broke.

Well, today, the DCC still has Mahoney on its fundraising page.

Tim Mahoney had an affair and paid to keep it covered up. Mark Foley solicited underage pages and asked them to send him naked pictures, was an Internet child predator.

Downplaying pedophilia by calling it a "sexless" scandal? That takes the cake.
