MARK FOLEY: Just Another Republican Pervert –updated–
FOLEY: … how are you weathering the hurricane… are you safe… send me an email pic of you as well… BOY'S REACTION (via CREW pdf): Sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick…sick
Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., is considering resigning from the House in the wake
of questions about e-mails he wrote to a former Capitol page, congressional
officials said Friday.These officials said a decision appeared imminent.
The Washington Post ran the story earlier, but now CNN just reported that Mark
Foley will not run for re-election. Evidently, emailing a 16 year old boy isn't
considered part of the “family values” package.
Another seat to go Democratic? I don't think they have time to replace him on the ballot. Stay tuned…
THIS JUST IN… It looks like it's official:
Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) planned to resign today, hours after ABC questioned him about sexually explicit internet messages with current and former Congressional pages under the age of 18.
A spokesman for Foley, the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, said the congressman submitted his resignation in a letter late this afternoon to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.
…oh, and check this out while it lasts.
UPDATE II (1:30 p.m.): CREW has the email exchanges here, with their complaint here (pdf files).
UPDATE (12:55 p.m.): Now let's go through memory lane… There was this pedophile, who actually ran Operation Predator… and this one… and who can forget Brian Doyle? As someone who has researched the sex industry I've got to say Mark Foley was made for NBC's Predator series. I would also like to add that he should be charged with a cyber crime, because the kid he approached was freaked out.
