SO MANY TEMPTATIONS AND SO LITTLE TIME

To the class that is sodomizing the electorate anyway, possible sodomy of individuals can't mean much. The Foley "thing" happened in the middle of a climate of questionable activities by the Republicans; not crimes, but not so questionable either. Earmarks, non-competitive bidding, cronyism, horrible appointments to administration positions that most of us figure can only be political payoffs, the corporate cash that most of us think are nothing more than bribes, sexual activities with women, sexual activities with boys, and the general overall lying common to the entire political class is part and parcel of the government. When you consider the content of this panoramic scene of corruption, a case of child molestation goes unnoticed unless the entire tapestry is examined with a magnifying glass. It doesn't even come to the level of consciousness when you are focused on taking bribes, bribing voters, looking the other way over non-bid contracts, getting your unqualified friends jobs in government, trying to control the media, making deals with other representatives so both representative's "earmarks" will fly through the process, and other deal making that happens every day makes a guy lose his focus. No wonder a story about a "club member" possibly molesting young people of the same sex is shrugged off with a curse and a head shake. To the class that is sodomizing the electorate anyway, individual acts of sodomy upon other willing participants can't mean much. After all, "old enough to bleed old enough to butcher," is a locker room saying we have all used from time to time, never really believing it or thinking anyone else would really believe it. Til now.

"So many temptations and so little time" about covers it.
