il Padrino Ute is an unknown quantity at this point
Default So, does this mean that Foley was a victim?

The article states that Foley isn't making excuses for his behavior, but will those on the left that are calling for Foley's and Hastert's head change their thoughts? Or are liberals the only people allowed to be victims?

He certainly seems to have been a victim. I love how the priest says "we loved each other as brothers" about a twelve year old kid to whom he gave naked massages. It doesn't excuse what Foley did, but it seems so many who do these things have a past that involves molestation.

The headline on www.cnn.com right now reads:

"Priest admits fondling Foley but denies abuse"

What da hell? You can fondle a child but it's not abuse? Sure, padre.
