So being an alcoholic makes you a child sex predator?
Former Rep. Mark Foley, under FBI investigation for salacious e-mail exchanges with teenage congressional pages, has checked himself into rehabilitation facility for alcoholism treatment and accepts responsibility for his actions, his attorney said Monday.
The attorney, David Roth, would not identify the facility, but told the Associated Press in West Palm Beach, Fla., that Foley had checked in over the weekend.
"I strongly believe that I am an alcoholic and have accepted the need for immediate treatment for alcoholism and other behavioral problems," Foley, a Republican, said in a statement, Roth told the AP. (story)

I cracked up when I read about this. I guess alcohol makes you lust for children. I wonder how long before he calls on Christians around the world to help him through his "difficult time."
Both patriotism and prayer have been described as "the last refuge of scoundrels." Now, if you're gay, add alcohol addiction, because, when the "patriots" and the holy rollers won't accept you because of your sins, there's always a 12-step program that will. (And, while I'm skeptical as hell about Foley's motives, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.)
