They didn't even mention his scandal. You can bet when they print Foley's obituary, they'll devote several paragraphs to "FoleyGate"

"He is survived by his husband, Dean Hara."

So, that made Gerry Dean's wife and Dean is now a widower.

Congressman Studds has gone to that male bathouse in the sky.

Gee... Do ya think that the MSM will mention his sodomizing a congressional page because of all their talk about the Foley non story?

Anyone want to give me bets on whether they'll report on it?

Well, bummer. I was hoping someday Barney Frank and he would run as a ticket for something, just so I could laugh at the bumper stickers:

"Frank-Studds. They're Not Just Our Names. They're Our Way Of Life."

R.I.P.

Hmmm! Can I be like the Dims and find the timing of this suspicious?



Well, I'll at least pass my condolences on to his family. I'm sure someone loved him, and is experiencing grief over his passing...

Cospiracy theories...gee, since Americans don't like to speak ill of the dead...

Looks like he's conveniently gone. I wanted to see ads about him!

At least be honest: Studds was a ranking member of the House Democratic leadership and congressman who performed statutory rape of a 17 year old boy to then go on to stay in congress.

his husband

A contradiction in terms. "Ally in perversion" would be the preferred term. Other cruder expletives are also accetable to describe the relationship between two sexually interactive males.
