It's been more than two years since Mark Foley garnered notoriety for sending salacious emails to congressional pages.

The Floridian Congressman has since resigned, come out and been cleared of any illegal wrong-doing, which means it's a perfect time for right-leaning journalist James Kirchick to come out and blast the left for addressing Foley's misdeeds in the first place.

Though he describes Foley's online activities as "reprehensible," Kirchick wags a righteous finger at "democratic operatives" and other liberal activists who, he says, simply used Foley as a political pawn.

The Congressman didn't deserve such malicious attention - rather, he needs our sympathy and understanding. Or something.

Remember when Idaho Senator Larry Craig got caught cruising in an airport bathroom? Of course you do!

That seemed to be a turning point for the States' social political landscape. We even predicted that Craig's arrest would help bring the long-raging Culture Wars to a close.

John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, however, may prove us wrong.

Idaho Senator Larry Craig's crusade to clear his name continues:

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will get his next day in Minnesota's courts on Sept. 10.

That's the date for oral arguments on his attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in a sex sting at the Minneapolis airport.

Craig was arrested last summer in a bathroom stall by an undercover officer who said Craig solicited sex. Craig pleaded guilty, but later said that was a mistake.

A Hennepin County judge refused to allow Craig to withdraw his plea. Now a three-judge panel of the Minnesota Court of Appeals will consider the Republican's case.

3-on-1. That's interesting, but we can't help but wonder where the third judge goes… (Rimshot!)

Congressional Republicans sure have some queer values.

You'll recall that the GOP went insane with outrage following Senator Larry Craig's toilet trolling arrest. So, too, with former Floridian Representative Mark Foley - although, to be fair, that one did involve sexual instant messages with teenage Congressional pages.

In contrast, Louisiana lawmaker David Vitter faced little party opposition after his hooker scandal. This week, meanwhile, there was little indignation over Alaska Senator Ted Stevens' corruption indictment. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell barely said a word about it, but once demanded an Ethics Committee investigation into the Craig affair.

All of this leads super journalist Margaret Carlson to this not-surprising yet notable observation:

Let's take a civics quiz. In Congress which is worse: being corrupt or being gay? Time is up. Pencils down. If you answered being gay, you've been paying attention, class. Of the 10 Commandments, it is much better to break the one about stealing than the one about sex.

How does that song go? "Teach your children well…"

We hope you haven't eaten your breakfast, readers, because this is revolting, even for us. Mike Jones, the whore who took down Evangelical leader Ted Haggard, once claimed to have had relations with toilet trolling Senator Larry Craig.

Though many months have passed since that story hit the big time, Michelangelo Signorile's reliving the nightmarish details with this:

…Did you know that, according to former male escort and Ted Haggard exposer Mike Jones, Senator Larry Craig, co-sponsor of the all-new Marriage Protection Act, put his tongue up Jones' butt hole and gave him a Senate-class rim job?

Yes, that's what Mike Jones told me several months back when he came on the show, and he hadn't said it in any other media outlet as far as I know — or rather, he tried, but they just didn't want to report it….Cocksucking was enough; they drew the line at analingus.
…
I realized at the time that this was a wet and juicy scoop of sorts, but I sat on it, for reasons I don't really know.

Great. Now we're officially sterile.

Meanwhile, an Idaho-based button manufacturer accidentally printed a picture of Craig alongside Barack Obama. The campaign materials were meant for Democrat Larry LaRocco, who's running for Senate. Craig, of course, isn't running due to his sex sting arrest last year…

PS: Signorile has audio of Jones' butt eating allegations. Give it a listen, if you dare.

We love the gays, of course, but not unconditionally. As we established in our beloved - and equally loathed - Cold Bitches, a collection of some evil homo mofos, not all the homos are deserving of praise. In fact, some are downright deplorable. Thus, Cold Bitches II: Ice Queens!

Like all sequels, this one's got more blood, guts and even more frosty flamers, like porn stars-turned-alleged-killers, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes. Find out all about their bitchery - and others' - after the jump!

Republicans Larry Craig and David Vitter made headlines last week after cosponsoring a Senatorial act "protecting" marriage from the vile homosexual beasts.

This is hilarious, of course, because the men both had extramarital excursions last year. Seizing the absurd moment, Patriot Boy mocked up these faux ads mocking the hypocritical politicians.

Brilliant!

Marriage has again become a hot political topic!

House Republican Paul Broun of Georgia introduced a "marriage protection" measure last month and yesterday Republican Senator Roger Wicker introduced similar legislation. It reads:

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.

Larry Craig and David Vitter are key cosponsors of the act. Craig, of course, got busted cruising men in an airport bathroom, while Vitter carried on with whores. And these are the people "protecting" marriage? DC sure is a crazy place!

Disgraced politico Larry Craig's already starting his second career: self-serving author!

The Republican, who got nabbed last year trolling for sex in an airport bathroom, announced last night that he's penning a book on energy, for some reason.

Before you get to bored, however, Craig also noted that some of this year's scandals will grace the pages: "There will be a bit of what's happened in the last year, and the way it evolved. I think that's important for Idaho and those outside Idaho who are interested to know."

Oh, please, Craig! Your sexual misadventures are the only thing that makes you even remotely interesting!

The man doth protest too much! British soccer player Ashley Cole reportedly plans to sue two tabloids for insinuating he's a homo, even though neither paper explicitly named him.

Cole has decided to sue for harassment, breach of privacy and libel after rumours over his sexuality spread like wildfire on the internet, fuelled by a series of articles in the News of the World and the Sun that did not name him but contained broad hints at his identity.

Legal experts view the case as an important step in taking the temperature of libel and privacy law in cases where the aggrieved parties are not named but the public is able to build up a "jigsaw" identification via tabloid hints that spark gossip via email, blogs and chatrooms.

They said the privacy part of the claim was "unique" because it relied on an untested concept known as "false privacy" - even though Cole says he is not gay, he will argue his privacy has been invaded.
…
Cole is likely to argue that the suggestion he is gay or bisexual is tantamount to accusing him of hypocrisy and thus damages his reputation.

Hey, does this remind anyone of when an unimplicated Larry Craig said he wasn't involved in the 80s congressional page scandal? Look how that one turned out…
