DOBSON: As it turns out, Mr. Foley has had illicit sex with no one that we know of, and the whole thing turned out to be what some people are now saying was a -- sort of a joke by the boy and some of the other pages ... By midafternoon yesterday, a rumor emerged that in fact Mark Foley had been pranked by the House pages. It is the first plausible thing I've heard in seven days..

He has no shame defending Foley, but (I'm sure you know this) his real purpose is to shield the GOP because if they lose in November then his power diminishes.

Spongebob holding hands with Big Bird on a video about tolerance is shocking homosexual brainwashing. Exchanging lewd e-mails with Republican congressman is good clean fun.

That's an allegedly professional child psychologist and religious leader there, adopting Drudge's GOP approved talking point that this whole sordid affair is nothing more than an elaborate joke perpetrated by the victims.
