CNN doctored the repeats and were able to get it removed from You Tube, but the original is on the above link for those interested.

Don't we really have more to worry about in this country than who sleeps with whom? It is incredible to me that 'political debate' is really a moral mud slinging match! Moral issues have become political issues. What about helping the poor, health care, Iraq, gun control etc? What is happening here is that the government, especially this one, is trying to legislate morality. I think that is a slippery slope. Remember...they came for the gays, but I wasn't gay so I didn't say anything. Then they came for the left-wingers, but I wasn't left wing, so I didn't say anything. Then they came for the atheists, but I wasn't one, so I didn't say anything. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to help me. Watch out!

In Foley's case, you have to remember that the Hypocrite was Chairman of a Committee created to protect Children from Predators, whilst the lying turd was one himself.
