Instead of just taking responsibiltiy for what he did, he's saying it was because he was molested as a child. Like that will make things better somehow! I mean if were my son or daughter, I don't care what happened to him in the past! I mean this is still my kid that has to suffer the consequences.
What's your take?

not to surprising, criminals and slime like him love to point the fingers at anyone just as long as it takes the blame off them.

That's exactly what he's doing and its so obvious its pathetic. I wonder if Sean Hannity of Limbaugh will claim the priest was a democrat, lol. There so lame.
10. Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of
sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its investigation.
And who controlled the Senate in the 90's? Shall I compile a list of republican pedophiles?

He's hysterical. The boogie man made him do it.
He's a hopeless degenerate and power junkee, typical of Washington DC. I love the way the Christian right backs away from this, disgusted by homosexuality but not bothered by the pedophile aspect of this or the hiding of the abuse by Denny Hastert for years. Kill the queers but covering up the stalking of minors is OK.

ARE THE FOLLOWING CASES AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT? Information compiled from the Washington Post, “Congressional Sex Scandals in History,” and other sources.
10. Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of
sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its investigation.

while on a trip to Africa. The House Ethics Committee decided against disciplinary action in 1990.

from Frank’s residence in the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to censure him in 1990.

of drugging, assault and rape, the first surfacing in 1988.
6. Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978 for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old.
He remained in Congress and won re-election—before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and

I think it's disgraceful because it casts aspersions on other people who were molested by priests, and who have always lived honorable lives.

I agree. I know many who have suffered from sexual abuse and never have come close to committing it themselves. He is a despicable ingrate who needs severe punishment and counseling.

Neocon denial is all that is my friend. It's all mental illness the GOP supports as Congressmen.
