I was driving and listening to NPR (gotta keep abreast of what the enemy is doing) when the Studds news broke.
At first I was aghast that nothing about the sex with the page or his censure was mentioned.
But then I realized "this is NPR." We have to defund it!

Gee, did they interview his child-lover from the 80's?

Born on a pinkish yacht in Cape Cod Bay
Gayest part of the State Of the Gay.
Raised in a dress like all men ought to be
Raped him a page who was only seventeen!
Chorus: Jerry, Jerry Studds: an NPR 'Pioneer'!

So Foley is this horrible pervert (and he is) and no Republican should ever be elected again because Foley is a Republican. But then we have Gerry Studds who actually did the things that Foley talked about doing and Studds is this great "pioneer."
