Leading Democratic Male Congressman Resigns in Shame After Sexually Explicit E-mails to Teens EXPOSED....

Look at the headlines:

Resigns after e-mails to teen.

Friggin unbelievable. Just had to point it out!

1. The reason is all Repugs, even the pedophile, have one holy virtue no Dem

has: reichousness.

2. Yep, same same crapola at the Chicago Tribune --

Just read an article there a little while ago.

Oh, but "the gentleman from Florida" surely intended those emails to be entirely above-board; he's an innocent man being "smeared" by Dems, yada yada yada.

Talk about a whitewash job -- or as an earlier poster relayed in another thread, a "bleeding heart" for that poor congressman who was "part of" such a "tragedy"!

Blech!....... :puke:


Then there was also this from the CT article:

Foley's aides initially blamed Democratic rival Tim Mahoney and Democrats with attempting to smear the congressman before the election.

Well, gee ... and when was it, exactly, that they decided the bum was nailed already, and admitted that their accusing his Dem opponent of a "smear" job was the squirming, lying squeal of last resort??

Here's the article, but you have to register:

3. Well, it didn't look like it was the emails that were explicit...

it was the IM's. ABC must have showed them to him for him to resign in such a hurry. A small technicality.

4. whoa: Wolf Blitzer just said "Can he be prosecuted?"

Sounds like there might be even more to this....
