Not to be Outdone By Your Average Celebrity

...dodging into rehab, good ol' boy Mark Foley is now also claiming he was...dumdumdum DUMB...

ABUSED as a CHILD.
UPDATE: By a member of the CLERGY

Two THREE image makeover standards down.
What's next on the People Magazine 'rehab'/be-a-victim-your-ownself list?
Hmmm?
UPDATE: Good GRIEF! SKEPTICS !!
...Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., a former colleague, said on Fox News Channel: "I don't buy this at all. I think this is a phony defense. The fact is, I think he's responsible for what he did here and I think it's a gimmick."

Oh, where's the love?

He already blamed alcohol and abuse. I guessing he's going to find God next.

Terrific strategy, dirt bag - blame the church. Oh, and how about this:

"Mark Foley wants you to know he is a gay man," Roth told reporters in Florida...

NO WAY!

It gets worse, he's friendly with the Super Adventure Club.

News is saying he was an Alter Boy and attended a Catholic High School. Of course he is making no excuses according to his lawyer and never had sex with any minors. Wondering what alcohol use has to do with this. I'll bet we know the name of the "clergy" real soon.

Some people just don't know when to shut up.

"Grab yer 'scuses!! GRAB YER BIG, FAT EXCUSES right here, folks!! Step right up and get yer victim card!! Hurray, hurray, hurray!!"

Hmmm...I just thought of this. Maybe he'll get the diocese to pay his legal bills this way.
