Interesting catch by The Daily Show tonight: In some Fox News footage of disgraced ex-congressman Mark Foley, the notoriously conservative network "supered" him thusly: D-FL.
Well, 'R' (Foley is a Republican) and 'D' are very close together on a standard keyboard, so it was probably just a typo.
Fox News: They report. You decide.
Jonno made some satiric fun of what appears to be Foley's textbook attempts to gain sympathy and contain the damage.
Since it came out that he'd engaged in sexually explicit online conversations with teenage male pages, the 52-year-old Foley -- again, a Republican -- has confessed that:
- He's an alcoholic (with emotional problems)
- He's checked himself into rehab
- He's gay
- He was sexually abused as a teen by a clergyman (Note: The last two were through his lawyer)
Added Stewart: "And 9/11 changed everything." :^)
