Revealed at last! It is all Mark Morford's fault!
Gay Republicans? All My Fault
I caused it. I did it. Foley, sex, pedophiles and the implosion of the GOP. And I apologize
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
Wednesday, October 11, 2006



I secretly hoped for it. I secretly prayed for it. Actually, it wasn't a secret at all. I was shouting it from the cosmic rooftops, extolling its virtues to anyone who would listen, tossing shiny pennies of burning hope into karmic wishing wells. Couldn't help it, really.

And I'm here to say: I'm sorry for it.

See, for years, I've wanted in my heart of hearts for some sort of nasty and riotous and well-deserved scandal to rock the GOP, to shake it to its homophobic hypocritical core and reveal these jackals and warmongers and abusers of women's rights and gay rights and human rights as what they really are, to have their glistening masks of sweat and wax and false piety peeled away to expose the rashy psoriatic snakeskin underneath. More than anything, I wanted all the country and the world to see the viciousness and the duplicity of this particular administration, though to be honest I was hoping at least one of the scandals might somehow involve Sept. 11 and its related conspiracies, for one or more of the many deeply disturbing, still-unanswered questions surrounding the tragedy to finally come to public light and reveal the Republican leadership to be far more complicit in some of those dire events than anyone imagined.

I know, it's not very nice. It's not all that tolerant, rational, cosmically magnanimous. It's also, in a way, sort of horrible, to wish such ugliness upon anyone, no matter how much they seem to deserve it and no matter how much they really were involved in such horrors as Sept. 11 (which, I must admit, I still truly believe they were). This is why I'm offering up an apology, right here and now, for bringing this current rain of Mark Foley sex-scandal ugliness down upon the GOP's sticky little head.

Yes, I caused it. Well, I and the tens of millions of other progressive open-minded liberals in this wary and Bush-stabbed nation who, I am quite sure, have all been down on bended knee every day, just like me, offering up the vibes and praying for the true blackness of the GOP soul to be revealed so we may finally snap out of this horrific bleakness and move the hell on.

We all did it. Clearly, we pumped enough energy into the cosmos to cause the Foley scandal to erupt, thus pounding yet another nine-inch nail into the BushCo coffin.

1. I love Mark Morford
and I wish I had his knack for the venomous run on sentence.

The thing in the world he hates the most is sexual hypocrisy.

Go Mark!
