WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 4) - Former Rep. Mark Foley, under investigation for sending lurid Internet messages to young male Capitol Hill pages, issued a series of revelations from rehab, including a claim that he had been sexually abused as a teen.
Quotes from Mark Foley's lawyer (I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't read it myself)
“Mark Foley wants you to know that he is a gay man.”
“Based upon the experts that I’ve spoken to,” Mr. Roth said, “the combination of alcohol and mental illness can result in inappropriate conduct,...”
He said Mr. Foley was raised a Roman Catholic and attended Catholic schools in Lake Worth
........Oh, now I get it! That's supposed to explain it all!
"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

There's quite a bit of speculation over pieces of a puzzle that would put Foley in a Scientology rehab center. This would help explain the ridiculous and inherently gay-bashing implications from his attorney.
