The (Dreaded) Mark Foley Limericks

The Mark Foley Saga

A gay Congressman named Mark Foley
Sent out some Emails unholy :

Sent suggestions outrageous
To handsome young Pages –

His motives, it seems
Were quite lowly.

With Elections just short weeks away
Leading Democrats shouted : “Hooray !”

They grew almost violent,
But Barney Frank remained silent:

For a change he had
Nothing to say !

House Republicans all sang the blues:
As the Media tightened the screws:

CNN was restrained –
(The reporters looked pained)

ABC was as bad
As Fox News !

Limericks have I none, but I understand the House has come to terms on what to give Mr. Foley for Christmas:

"Promise him anything, but give him our page."

[pogo101]

Now do one that uses "paged" as a transitive verb (past tense).

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

I heard Dick Morris say on Hannity & Colmes that the reporter who broke this story said that a Democrat leader also knew about the Foley IMs.

I wonder who that top Democrat is?

[YdontUleaveLibs]

Harry Reid

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

If that is true, then if Democrats insist that Hastert must go, then they must also insist that Harry Reid must go too.

[elcid1970]

"our page"? Arpege? You gotta be a certain age.

Foley = FFF

Anyway,

I'd rather have fingers than toes,
I'd rather have ears than a nose,
But as for my hair,
I'm glad it's all there
I'll be awfully sad when it goes.

ping!

[donaldo]

I agree. I'm sick and tired of these libs. They didn't say jack s... when Gerry Studds was cornholing a seventeen year old page. To hell with them.

[lesser_satan]

There once was a poofter named Mark
He engaged in strange acts after dark
His congressional page
Was not quite of age
Now his future is looking quite stark

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I wrote one this morning on the Word For The Day thread:

The Lame Stream Press, bias conspicuous
They're tilted, obnoxious and vacuous
While the Clintons and Franks
Get their kudos and thanks
The Foleys and Packwoods are nocuous

[ExtremeUnction]

Hastert must go. If the Repubs were sabotaged by the dems, so what? Hastert was in charge, and he is at fault. Period.

[Charles Henrickson]

The e-mails that Foley was cranking
Have brought him a well-deserved spanking;
The double-edged difference is,
Republican privileges
Apparently don't include Franking!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The democrats are in a "rage"
Their fake fury is not hard to gauge
All the blame should rest solely
On Congressman Foley
(Who wishes he could just turn the page)

[Physicist]

To read through a budget takes ages:
It must be digested in stages.
Said Congressman Mark,
"I don't need a bookmark,
I'd rather bend over the pages!"

[IslandJeff]

< wet monitor >

[Physicist]

The Congressman's actions were crass
But I don't think he wanted a pass
He'd hoped that his frisson
Would land him in prison
'Cause there he'd get ****** up the ***.

[Sender]

The story is leaked out in stages,
each new chapter is yet more outrageous.
"You hypocrite members!"
"You'll go down in November!"
Says the Pot, quietly turning pages.

[grey_whiskers]

The dumbest Congressman I've seen
Using IM to hit on a teen
And more's the dismay
turns out he was gay.

"Log Cabin" meets NAMBLA, I mean.

Note: according to another thread, the page was actually 2 months over 18 when it happened.

Cheers!
