"Billy did it too..."
When I offered up that explanation for my behavior, my mother usually responded in two ways: "I'm not talking about Billy..." or "If Billy told you to jump off a building would you do it?"
Ted Kennedy is in the Senate because the good people of Massachusetts believed his lame ass excuse in 1969 and continue to re-elect him to office.
And you sound like you want Billy punished for something you did. What part of "he's gone" are you having trouble with?
More importantly, now that punishment has been meted in Foley's case why don't you want it done in Kennedy's? The "good" people of Massachusetts have nothing do to, btw, with the Swimmer's committee assignments.
