WASHINGTON Sep 29, 2006 (AP)— Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., submitted a letter of resignation from Congress on Friday in the wake of questions about e-mails he wrote a former male page, according to a congressional official. Foley, 52, had been considered a shoo-in for re-election until the e-mails surfaced in recent days. Campaign aides had previously acknowledged that the Republican congressman e-mailed the former Capitol page five times, but had said there was nothing inappropriate about the exchange. The page was 16 at the time of the e-mail correspondence. Foley's election opponent, Democrat Tim Mahoney, has called for an investigation.

Turns out the Fox helped build the henhouse, kept the keys and waited for the government yearly supply of "chickens".
I think he likes them a year older.

A real win-win for everyone but the children and the nation.

Lieberman et al had "the goods" on Prez Hindenbush and he was just acknowledging like Don Corleone would to a close confederate that he was carrying through with his "promise." The Kiss came after GWB delivered the State of the Union address when he registered with the sheeple the first "concerns" about Iran and for regime change there.
As usual, FM, you leave me breathless.

Naw, I watched the kiss replayed, and I watched the way he hugged McCain. He's definitely a "top", and they his "bottoms".

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN SUBVERTED. The government is rife with pedophiles, perverts, and sickos, and in order to keep their secrets, they are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the skeletons in the closet. Like this douchebag for instance. He's gay, and he's a pedophile. Wonder how he got along this far without being outed or going to jail? How many people did he sell out? How many deals has he made to keep people quiet? It's the same with ALL of the politicians we have in government. They have dirty secrets which is why they are so easily controlled. When the people find out, that's when they resign and then another blackmailable candidate comes along. This is why we will never have another Elliot Ness anywhere in government. They're upright, and can't be bought and sold like this piece of shit. What a fucking sicko.
Foley has been one of the foremost critics in the House of child pornography.

At times like these I really wonder about the Lieberman kiss. What a complete loss of decorum on the part of the queer in chief, and so bizarre for Lieberman to smile like he did.. Uncomfortable, but unable to reject Bush's "advance"; like Bush had the goods on him and he'd better cooperate.

Homosexuality During 2004 Senate campaign, longstanding rumors surfaced that Foley is either gay or bisexual and is in a longterm relationship with a man. Initially published only in the gay press, the New Times broke the story in the mainstream press which led to other papers including the New York Press addressing the topic.

My first question in these cases is what DC insider faction did he piss off and over what? And I am not talking about his silly opponent either. My suspicion is that he's just a distraction. The GOP probably knew that this was going to come out sooner or later, so they chose sooner to toss him under the bus to take the heat off from Iraq and etc... Just a wild guess.
As cyncial as I am I don't believe any revalation in our media about the perv acts and proclivities of our useless congressmen is by chance or happenstance or the result of two party fraud partisan politics.

I thought he deserved a chance to clear himself, but something this fast betrays a radically deeper 'guilt.' At least he's an adequate judge of himself.
#103. To: bluedogtxn (#101)
Maybe the White House wants a distraction. But I can't imagine this news will please Republican candidates for Congress, and for other offices too, for that matter. On top of all the corruption already revealed, it makes them look even worse.

He had no chance. ABC (and many others) were busy today unearthing sordid emails he'd sent to other boys, including some that were rather explicit. This resignation is panicked damage control. The smart move would have been to flatly deny everything while quietly boarding a boat for Belize.

holy sh!t! look at the views and posts on this thread already. lol.

Just could happen depending on what other material/kids come forward. His quick resignation indicates to me that there is much more to this story than currently released.
I hope he goes to prison.

Like I said, wild guess. Maybe it's much worse than we know. These scandals usually are. Maybe he's got a vault of kiddie porn on his hard drive, and he's hoping to avoid getting caught.

The kiddie porn on his computer he could explain from his committee assignments. I suspect actual sexual relations with some of the interns and/or pages.

This is worse than just being homosexual. He's a pedaphile who was the Chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus. AND he's from FLorida, the state with all those missing children from state care.

It would be great if we could prove the Republican leadership had knowledge of Foleys activities and did nothing about it and worse, put the fox in charge of the henhouse. Any party that would lie to start a war would also steal an election. by landrew on Fri Sep 29, 2006 at 01:47:45 PM PDT Interesting post on Daily Kos.

Naw, you gotta have special authorization from an FBI agent to even look at that stuff legally. You can't just surf for it and then claim it was work related.

absolutely..they gotta be blackmailable. daggone tho, i'm stunned at the number of homo pedaphiles in the party of family values.
From the perspective of DC insiders- it is in their interests to have Congressmen elected who come with steamer trunk closets full of skeletons. In fact, during the vetting process (usually the minor leagues of state politics) I wouldn't be surprised if the biggest pervs and morally suspect individuals are tapped to rise to the major's.

Isn't that what politicians normally do, the opposite of what they they are supposed to be doing?
You just know he was there for just the opposite.
