3-Layer Outrage, Better with Age

Cook's note:
This is quite rich and you might need to schedule some time with the punching bag or go for a run after ingesting.

This morning's settling of the Rep. Foley stew includes, yes, you guessed it:

1) Under the influence of alcohol.
When baking, the alcohol burns off but the flavor remains. Could that explain why after more than a year, the good Rep. didn't every apologize directly to his prey?

2) Gay.
Big whoop. So are a lot of people. Do you see them acting in this manner?
And, yes, the pressure to stand up under the weight of "speak for all of them" could drive you to drink, but drinking doesn't take away your responsibilities, see above.

3) Molested as a child by his priest.
Good Lord! Do you think this dish tastes better piled this high?

But, of course, he does not blame his actions on any of this. He just wants us to know.
