As usual, Catholic League President Bill Donohue has it all figured out. In his press release on disgraced Republican Rep. Mark Foley, he has some "tough questions" for the congressman. Such as, why did he let himself be molested by a member of the clergy when he was between 13 and 15 years of age:

As for the alleged abuse, its time to ask some tough questions. First, there is a huge difference between being groped and being raped, so which was it Mr. Foley? Second, why didnt you just smack the clergyman in the face? After all, most 15-year-old teenage boys wouldnt allow themselves to be molested. So why did you?

Really looking forward to getting this by fax tomorrow morning. (HT: Daily Dish.)
