Not the sharpest tools in the shed.....
1) Foley, as far as we know, only posted emails with a sixteen year old male page.
2) Studds actually had sex with a sixteen year old page.
3) The Republicans forced Foley out. They did that because they knew that Foley could be used as a propaganda tool against them. The more they defended him the worse it would be for the party. So no one is defending Foley.
4) The Democrats protected and defended Studds and Frank.
5) Studds and Franks have been very helpful to the Republicans. They have helped paint the Democrats as extremists and morally challenged. Both of their scandals have been used in millions of hit pieces and have helped raise millions of dollars.
6) If the Democrats were smart they would have expelled both of them from the party. But in their idiocy they did not and thereby they helped the Republicans.
7) Any attacks made by the Democrats now just bring up the memory of Studds and Franks. Since they didn't expel those two guys they now can't fully take advantage of the gift that Foley just presented to them.
