Love Letters: The New Gay Republican Porn

If Jesus and Mohammad are indeed gay, then Mark Foley is in good company, so Republicans, take heart. Of course, I never accused Jesus or Mohammad of being perverts. Mark Foley, well that’s another story all together . . .

Mark Foley is THE buzz today. My friend’s Robby and Sean, actors in LA, are doing their version of Love Letters and are reading the Foley/16-year-old mail page email exchanges aloud, appropriate voices and all.

Robby made the point that when you read the emails, it’s disappointing because even when Republicans are pervs, they are still pedestrian. What’s the lesson here? Leave perversion to Democrats. We have so much more experience at this.

But back to Foley. He is so much in the news that I decided to Google “Mark Foley” and then Google “I’m angry” to see which keywords had more hits. As I have blogged before, I’ve noticed that if you Google “I’m angry,” you get a wide and varied response. After all, we’re all angry about something. Mark Foley gets about 9,490,000 hits, while “I’m angry” receives 40,100,000 hits. More people care about anger than they do about Mark Foley, but a lot of people are interested in Foley. So for fun, and to make a useless and obscure point, I then decided to Google “I’m Angry, Mark Foley” and I got 251,000 hits, with the number one hit being crooksandliars.com. I have not bothered to visit the site yet, but geez, it sounds like the type of site La Blogda might want to link.

For more pointless fun, when you Google “Love Letters,” it gets 34,500,000 hits. Way more than Foley and close to “I’m Angry.” Ahh, we are a race of angry people in love.
