The Daily Show: Foley Sex Scandal Coverup
Jon Stewart: "Today it came out that Foley finger-banged two high school sophmores from the Model U.N. on the catwalk of the Rotunda. However, Foley has announced today that his mother smoked while pregnant. So, again, I don't see how this has anything to do with him."
Foley continues to be a comedy goldmine:
"But in fairness to the Republicans, let me just throw this out -- who invented the Internet? That's right -- Al Gore, a Democrat. If it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened. Run with it Fox News."
--Jimmy Kimmel
"(Foley's) in rehab, which means it only happened because he was drinking. We've all done it folks -- drunk dialing. It's just that in Foley's case, it was drunk texting erotic messages to underage pages about masturbation."
--Stephen Colbert
"It's simple. You drink, you forget things -- especially things that could endanger minors. And I know people are wondering why Condoleezza Rice can't remember a July 2001 meeting with George Tenet where he warned her an al Qaeda attack was likely, even though White House records prove the meeting happened. She probably just blacked out. She was playing a drinking game. Every time you hear George Tenet say 'imminent,' you take a shot."
--Stephen Colbert
"I have the latest on the Mark Foley sex scandal. Apparently, new evidence that just came out shows that former Congressman Mark Foley once engaged in Internet sex with a former page while a vote was being taken in the House. Apparently, instead of voting 'Aye,' Foley voted 'Oh God yes!'"
---Conan O'Brien
