You know Joe Sixpack? The guy we chase around politically because the Republicans own his heart?

You've probably already heard that Rep. Mark Foley (one of whose political specialties appears to be issues related to sex offenders) has been sending not-terribly-appropriate e-mails to a 16-year-old page who didn't actually work for him from his private e-mail address.

ABC has the story on their website, and it's gotten a great deal of rapid-fire concern trolling fervent commentary by casual heartland passersby indignant about the clear anti-Republican bias of ABC in general and the story in particular since it was posted.

I was particularly interested in this salt-of-the-earth fellow's inarticulate yet powerful indignation

First of all Mr. Lee, Clinton wasn't impeached because of an affair, he was impeached because he lied to a grand jury and cohersed others to lie.. but keep living in your little parallel world.. all the better for the Right when the left doesn't even understand the simplist issues.

This campaign season really shows 1. how desparate the democrats are & 2. how little of substance they actually have to run on.

I haven't heard yet a new idea from a democrat on what they would do, it is either these bogus accusations or what they wouldn't do..

Um, I thought. He uses the word coerced, doesn't know how to spell it and took a guess that it was spelled completely differently than it's pronounced? Doesn't know how many of the little dot things go in an ellipse? Can't spell simplest but uses the phrase "how little of substance"? Talks about campaign season?

Well, Matthew, unlike his fellow concerned citizens, linked to a working e-mail address.
