Young is once again proving himself to be a dullard.  Would it be
surprising if 11% of the population distinguishes pedophilia (a sexual
attraction to children) from child abuse (actually doing it) and only
considers the latter to be immoral, probably viewing the former to be
a mental illness?  And a small fraction of that 11% no doubt consists
of the pedophiles themselves, so what would you expect them to say?

Just a partial list of many more examples found on cite at bottom

John Bolton:
Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton's first wife, Christina
Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the
State Department.

Pat Buchanan:
Former presidential candidate: Right before he turned 21 was pulled
over, cursed out two police officers, resisted arrest and then kicked
one of the police officers in the *****." (Franken - 172). Pat Buchanan,
former presidential candidate: Buchanan himself said that in 1960,
when he was 21, the draft board rejected him because he had Reiter's
syndrome. What's that, you ask? It's a form of arthritis usually
caused by chlamydia, a venereal disease (at least in America. In third
world countries, a form of dysentery is the most common cause.) When
pressed, a Buchanan aide said that if, indeed, sexual contact is the
only way to get Reiter's, Buchanan would never have admitted it.
That's an honest if cynical response, but it assumes that Buchanan
knows what causes Reiter's. He also could have had chlamydia for
years, even to this day, without knowing it; chlamydia often has no
symptoms, especially in men. Notice also that this aide's statement is
not a denial. The Buchanan campaign has refused to confirm or deny
whether Pat has had chlamydia or any other venereal diseases. (SC)

Andrew Buhr:
The Republican politician was charged with two counts of first degree
sodomy with a 13-year old boy.

of a 16-year-old girl he met in East Baltimore's Patterson Park in

records show. Delgaudio, 50, of Burke, Va., is a frequent talk-radio
guest and national figure in conservative politics. He is president of
the Legal Affairs Council, a group that helped pay the legal bills of
former Reagan administration officials Oliver L. North and Caspar W.
Weinberger after they were charged in connection with the Iran-contra

the Senate. The committee released 10,000 pages of evidence against
