Via Firedoglake…the unsurprises just keep on coming.  Here’s another republican operative and closet case, Matt Drudge, on the despicable predatory sexual behavior of…wait for it…teenage boys …

And if anything, these kids are less innocent — these 16 and 17 year-old beasts…and I’ve seen what they’re doing on YouTube and I’ve seen what they’re doing all over the Internet — oh yeah — you just have to tune into any part of their pop culture.  You’re not going to tell me these are innocent babies.  Have you read the transcripts that ABC posted going into the weekend of these instant messages, back and forth?  The kids are egging the Congressman on!  The kids are trying to get this out of him.  We haven’t got the whole story on this.

Well we’ve got the whole story on you Matt, now don’t we? 

You could say "well Drudge, it’s abuse of power, a congressman abusing these impressionable, young 17 year-old beasts, talking about their sex lives with a grown man, on the internet."  Because you have to remember, those of us who have seen some of the transcripts of these nasty instant messages.  This was two ways, ladies and gentlemen.  These kids were playing Foley for everything he was worth.   Oh yeah.  Oh, I haven’t…they were talking about how many times they’d masturbated, how many times they’d done it with their girlfriends this weekend…all these things and these "innocent children."  And this "poor" congressman sitting there typing, "oh am I going to get any," you know?

Well those shameless young hussies.  Strutting their stuff in front of that poor closet case of a wack job republican congresscritter.  Maybe next congress they’ll put them all in burkas just in case there are any grown adults on capital hill who can’t fucking control their libidos, let alone can’t remember that part of being an adult is Fucking Setting A Goddamn Example!

Obviously the difference between an adolescent and a child is that the teenager is becoming sexually mature.  But the operative word there is becoming.  At Minimum it is not the prerogative of grown adults to indulge that sexual inexperience and immaturity, to push a kid’s buttons when the kid is only just discovering that the buttons are even there to begin with, for the sake of their own greedy selfish urges…I won’t even dignify it with that beautiful word desire.  Jesus Christ Almighty!  Adults are supposed to be teaching and encouraging kids at that stage in their lives how to Fucking Manage Their Sexual Nature Responsibly And Honorably not exploiting their inexperience, their naivety, their adolescence, for pleasure, like they’re some kind of sexual junk food.  At long last, at long fucking last, is there Anyone left in the republican party that knows how to be an adult?

I can see where a kid would be positively creeped out by what Foley was doing.  But I’m 53 years old now, and I can see something else perfectly well: how deliberately, how calculatedly Foley was pushing that kid’s buttons. There is no mistaking it for what it is.  Foley was taking sexual advantage of that kid…even if at that point he hadn’t laid a fucking hand on him.  I can see how a kid would be creeped out.  But as an adult I can see something more.  At our age (Foley is a year younger then me it seems) even a guy who has very little life experience knows perfectly well where those buttons are, and just how to push them.  That’s what’s so disturbing.  Foley is sexually manipulating that kid and the kid sort-of seems to realize it, but he’s still too young to really grasp what’s going on the way a mature adult can.

And the profound embarrassment lurking just behind that kid’s words are palpable to me.  Drudge it seems, can only see the surface bravado…but not the heart…of a kid.  Why is that not surprising?  Are they fucking all a bunch of sociopaths in the republican establishment?
