Update on the Foley Fiasco: I CALLED IT AGAIN!

Remember my prediction about resigned Congressman Mark Foley over the weekend?

Here's a reminder...

But don’t worry folks, if you’re new to the game here’s how it will probably play out…

The departing congressman will declare that he has "a problem" and that he needs "help". He will check himself into a treatment center for whatever "addiction" he declares he has. (Alcohol is, of course, the preferred scapegoat.)

Well it turns out that Foley has done just that...

Former Rep. Mark Foley, under FBI investigation for e-mail exchanges with teenage congressional pages, has checked himself into rehabilitation facility for alcoholism treatment and accepts responsibility for his actions, his attorney acknowledged Monday.

The attorney, David Roth, would not identify the facility, but told the Associated Press in West Palm Beach, Fla., that Foley had checked in over the weekend.

"I strongly believe that I am an alcoholic and have accepted the need for immediate treatment for alcoholism and other behavioral problems," Foley said in a statement, Roth told the AP.

When I'm right... I'm right! Blame the demon rum and get thee to a rehab clinic! That's the preferred treatment for hypocritical behavior. Won't cure a damned thing, though.
