No Loss

Rep. Foley has resigned from Congress. Good. It seems he's a scumbag.

As Gaypatriot correctly points out


First — a 16-year old!?!? I just don’t get that!!!

Second — Think a long, long time before you put stuff in email. It never goes away and travels all around the world.

Third – Foley will be lynched, while Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) was given a pass for having his call-boy boyfriend running a prostitution ring out of Frank’s townhouse and he has won re-election ever since.

(I think on his third point Gaypatriot forgets that in our Parliament of Whores prostitution is most certainly not a sin)

I don't care if he's gay or indifferent; the fact is he was at the very least making extremely inappropriate contact with a minor, and perhaps even soliciting sex from the minor. The hubris and arrogance ('stupidity' for us little folk) of these politicians continues to amaze.

And what is the deal with the St. Petersburg Times, which seemed to know all this a year ago and has sat on it until...4 weeks before the election? Aren't they an accessory to any crime by not reporting it to the police?

I don't care about the political impact of this per se, and how it may help the Dems gain another seat; I want this guy to be making license plates.

[That was me closing your italics tag.} :-p Oh yeah, and Foley should rot in jail for a good long time.

I fear she does suspect something...

How crazy or arrogant or whatever did you have to be to hit on children – of your constituents no less? Thankfully we were spared a “my truth is speech” and Foley resigned immediately in disgrace. A federal lawmaker breaking the very laws he helps write – I hope he gets the maximum sentence in solitary.
