Well, at least he had the decency to immediately resign, unlike others.
Evidently a Florida congressman got a little crazy when he sent emails to a 16-year old page. I don’t know about you, but I could sure use some details.
He said he’d turn over a new leaf, just as soon as he’d gotten to the bottom of that Page…
I almost posted that, but decided not too. It was just sodomeasy…
Here you go:
Reg. required.
Apparently Foley asked the page for a picture, which skeeved the kid out.
Thanks for the link (I didn’t have to register! WooHOO!). While it sounds like he was maybe grooming him for a future “heavier hit”, it doesn’t sound like he’s a monster or anything. I was expecting more blood and guts.

I read the emails and they really aren’t that bad. I was more appalled at the atrocious spelling than anything. The emails clearly do not tell the whole story. He resigned for a reason…I’m guessing he has kiddie porn on his computer or is secretly having a sexual affair with another man or something of that nature that he is afraid of being exposed because of these emails.
I know it’s sick, but that made me laugh.
The article I read on this was on Yahoo:
This article also discusses info from ABC News regarding Foley apparently getting into sexually-oriented instant message conversations with current and former teenage male pages. Sez ABC News: "In one message, ABC said, Foley wrote to one page: ‘Do I make you a little horny?’ "
Well, so much for giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Well, it sounded like something a comedian would think of. I don’t know if it’s true he said it, but you have to admit it is funny.
Hey, the guy resigned and made a sincere apology (without saying exactly what he was apologizing for,) hours after the story broke. I was for giving him the benefit of the doubt before that, but those aren’t the actions of someone who was just being friendly.
Well, apparently I was reading the wrong emails. Ew.
He also stated he would resign because there were other potentially damaging emails and IM’s out there.
Aaaand the only thing I can think if noe is a use for the word “sodomeasy”. I hvae no idea what it means, but people are going to thnk it means an awfull lot of things. 
Pun on so damn easy…
Sodomeasy Hussein’s AOL name. not that I would know.
Okay, I merged the two threads about this subject (the ones with responses; the others, I just closed and sent readers this way) and edited the title to include Foley’s name.
