This is too much. Foley is now following the Kennedy 'Git out of trouble plan'. Posted on Drudge. He is an alcoholic not a pedaphile. Just like Patrick K, he throws off the blood hounds by taking responsibility for some unrelated problem. Sickening.

"TV STATION: LETTER FROM FOLEY CLAIMS EX-LAWMAKER HEADED TO REHAB
Mon Oct 2 2006 00:45:11 ET

Letter purpordedly sent to WPBF, the ABC affiliate in West Palm Beach, from former congressman, Mark Foley:



X X X X X

October 1, 2006

Painfully, the events that led to my resignation have crystalized recognition of my longstanding significant alcohol and emotional difficulties.

I strongly believe that I am an alcoholic and have accepted the need for immediate treatment for alcoholism and related behavioral problems.

On Saturday, with the loving support of my family and friends, I made arrangements to enter a renowned in-patient facility to address my disease and related issues.

I deeply regret and accept full responsibility for the harm I have caused.

Over the weekend, I communicated extensively with one of the most respected mental health experts in Palm Beach County, Florida, who has been instrumental in counseling and assisting me.

Attorney David Roth, my good friend of four decades has been requested by me to fully and completely cooperate regarding any inquiries that may arise during my treatment.

Words cannot express my gratitude for the prayers and words of encouragement that have been conveyed to me.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Foley

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Does Foley think that slapping an "alcoholic" label on top of "pervert" somehow makes it better?

Sicko.

One thing would help Hastert and the other leaders is to come out and apologize for not seeing the signs even though they did read some overly friendly IMs and should have recognized the signs.

He goes one tiny step further, calling his outrageous actions "related behavioral problems"...
