Bill Maher Almost Defends Foley

Maher makes the good point that in a less sexually repressed society, Mark Foley could have come out of the closet a long time ago.

Crooks and Liars:

Bill Maher joined Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room today to talk about Foleygate and hits the nail on the head when he points out that Republican/conservative repression and self-righteousness always seems to manifest itself in supreme hypocrisy. He gives the examples of Foley with internet predator legislation, Rush Limbaugh with drug abuse demonization and compulsive gambler Bill Bennett who wrote a book on virtues and morality.
