Memories

So The Kenosha Kid has formulated the only reasonable response to the Republican defense for Mark Foley, which involved dredging up a Democratic scandal from thirty years ago. (Today's Dems must be clean-living indeed, or you know we'd have heard about it.) His take:

The wingnut response to the Foleygate mess, predictably, has been to dredge up old Democratic scandals. I had never heard of this Gerry Studds guy before this week, but did anyone notice that his (consensual) relationship with a page occurred in 1973? That's crazy! It's almost as if Woodward was still exposing the Republican administration's lies! It's almost as if 60 Minutes was still covering Kissinger's bad advice regarding an endless war in Asia... wait a minute, maybe it really is 1973! In that case, it's time for an appropriate musical soundtrack!

I might add my own comment, too, in my own particular idiom:


Jesus, flares have come and gone twice since then, guys.
