Wait a minute... why was Mark Foley national news but not this? In fact, Foley didn’t actually have an affair with any of the interns, unlike this guy. The media bias just gets more and more blatant, doesn’t it?

Well, Foley was a Congressman which is a part of the national body of Congress, while this clown is just a piddly little assemblyman from Albany. So it stands to reason that a scandal regarding a congressman could get national attention while a comparable scandal involving an assemblyman would only get local attention.

That said, it is rather telling that the article curiously omitted the assemblyman's party affiliation -- though I'm sure that's just because they're all democrats in Albany.

Because the DNC colluded with the MSM to launch an October Surprise. In the subsequent Congressional investigation of the charges that the "GOP knew and did nothing", it came out that the DNC and the MSM knew more and sooner and did nothing except "wait to release it".

If I recall, it was a Democrat on staff and there was no sex. Wonder if the whole thing was a sting. Doesn't excuse the behavior but it was a key "example" cited by the Democrats in their 2006 issue of "a culture of corruption" that permeated the GOP.
