Bill Maher on the Foley Incident

[smofbabe]

On CNN's "Situation Room," after mentioning how the Republicans set themselves up as the family values party and then some get caught doing the very thing they've been railing against (Bill Bennett with gambling, Rush Limbaugh with drug abuse), Bill Maher said: "If the Republicans didn't make gay marriage a campaign issue, this man could have come out of the closet a long time ago. He could be openly gay, like the mayor of Berlin is openly gay. And then he'd be living in Falls Church, Virginia with his long-time companion, Steve, who works at the Smithsonian, you know? He wouldn't have to be trolling for 17-year-olds on the Internet."

I love Bill Mahar. If only what he said was 100% true.

An awful lot of sexual predators/abusers are married. Yeah, most of these folks are straight, but some of them are gay men in relationships. So while he's right for the most part, he's not completely right.

Indeed, if marriage guaranteed fidelity, we probably wouldn't have novels!
