Hume Compares Mark Foley To President Clinton
Fox News Host Brit Hume's comments about Congressman Mark Foley seems
to be sparking some debate. Is it a fair comparison...Foley to Clinton?
Regardless, its always interesting to compare converage and spin on the different news networks. Hume's quote seems very in line with the standard Fox News bias. But, you decide...
"It is very serious misbehavior on the part of Congressman Foley, whether it stems from arrogance or just weakness of the human flesh is another question. It's probably worth noting that there's a difference between the two parties on these issues. Inappropriate behavior towards subordinates didn't cost Gerry Studds his Democratic seat in Massachussetts, nor Barney Frank his. Nor did inappropriate behavior toward a subordinate even cost Bill Clinton his standing within the Democratic Party, even though indirectly he was impeached for it. Mark Foley found out about this, was found out to have done this, and he's out of office and in total disgrace in his party."
