"Hey guys...remember on the other thread we were told not to rush to judgement about Rep Foley, not throw him under a bus, he hadn't done anything wrong, etc? Y'all get your apologies yet?"

Last night, we didn't have much in the way of "explicit" emails to hang this guy with. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt (shame on me)..until we learned more. All too often, in the MSM, just accusations are enough to destroy a person's career.

It does appear Foley was guilty of soliciting a minor (or more)...None of us owe anyone an apology..we were brainstorming..as we always do.

But let's have some consistency here. You know darn well that the only reason people wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt was that R next to his name. That R does not guarantee anything and we need to quit pretending it does.
