Me: "I just love it when deeply closeted gay politicians set homosexuals back decades in the eyes of the public."
Zach: "Congressman Foley?"
Me: "Yeah. Just the latest, at least."

Zach: "The 'latest'?"
Me: "Yeah. Let's not forget Jim West."
Zach: "True. And Jim McGreevey."
Me: "Well, I tend to look on Jim McGreevey's case more as an 'affair' than an outright scandal."
Zach: "Why?"
Me: "Because there are no chat transcripts of him hitting on high school boys half his age, therefore at least escaping the appearance of 'dodgy sexually repressed and uncomfortably suggestive old man.'"
Zach: "So... McGreevey's case is less bad because he went after men of legal age?"
Me: "Yeah. When it comes to splitting hairs, I'll take that victory."
What a tangled web we weave.
