    Is it not ironic that when his actions are those of a pedophile - he is now gay!!!

    Ultimate Foleygate Photo: (Sometimes nothing tells a story as well as a single, powerful photograph.) I don’t know why the national media didn’t pick this up, but they should have. In case you missed it:

    BW photograph of a truly shameless moment. There’s a deep sadness here—layers upon layers upon layers of meaning in this iconic Buffalo News photo that perfectly sums up and symbolizes the whole damn Foleygate scandal, which has rapidly moved beyond the “merely” sleazy, salacious and corrupt. Now it’s an utterly surreal, blame-shifting mass abdication of all personal responsibility.

    Take another look at the children. Then look at the man (Rep. Reynolds) at the microphone. See the face of a party leadership that uses children to score “family values” points but doesn’t give a damn. At all.

    republicans aren’t losing votes over this—when republican voters go into the booth, they’re thinking it’s all clinton’s fault
