A VOICE OF REASON?!

MICHELLE MALKIN


Yes, you can stop laughing. Michelle Malkin is actually viewing this the proper way. From her blog:

At this point, I think the GOP is making a mistake banging the drum so hard over the apparent far left/MSM orchestration of the story. However long the other side sat on the e-mails and IMs, the fact is that Mark Foley--and Mark Foley alone--is responsible for giving his enemies something to spring upon his campaign in the first place.

Of course, guys like Sean Hannity are obviously not heeding Malkin's wise words on this. From Hannity (via http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/03/hannity-conspiracy-video/:

HANNITY: Who knew? Why did they leak it now, 30- some-odd days out of an election, when they had this for three years? That’s a big question in my mind.
...
HANNITY: But do you think politics is involved in the timing of the release of this, after the Republican primary in Florida, which makes it difficult to replace his name on the ballot, which you can’t do, in other words, to replace the candidate?
...
HANNITY: We see a lot of things unfolding just before an election. You see that this is just pure politics. Is there any principle left?
...
HANNITY: Apparently some of these instant messages are three years old. So I think we all have to have a question raised here. I want to know why these instant messages were held back until now. Who knew about them? Why did they hold them back? Did they do it for political reasons? In other words, were they held back to maximize the political impact before an election?

Jeez, Sean! We get it! You think that the Dems sat on this until just before the elections. It doesn't matter how you phrase the question, you're still barking up the wrong tree. First of all, Dems were purposely kept out of the loop on this, and second (and most importantly), it doesn't matter!!! Foley is a sexual predator looking to score with underage boys. Malkin said it best - "the fact is that Mark Foley--and Mark Foley alone--is responsible for giving his enemies something to spring upon his campaign in the first place."

See, for once, Malkin was able to put politics aside. Do you know what she sounds like - a mother. A mother who cares about sexual predators that have easy access to children like Foley did. When I first read her post, I was in shock because I believe that it may actually be the first time that I agree with her. She is right on the money on this one. And honestly, if I can agree with Malkin on something, then I guess there's hope for us all.
