Foley "wept openly" on the House Floor....
when Repuke moralist/philanderering hypocrite Bob Livingston announced his resignation from Congress...

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,989922,00.html

"Livingston announced that he would not stand for Speaker and would even resign his House seat within six months. When he finished, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle rose and applauded. Republicans surged toward Livingston and slapped him on the shoulders or hugged him. Florida Representative Mark Foley, sitting just a few feet from where Livingston spoke, wept openly."

2. and then there's this: More Foley: "My mother and father raised me and...
...the rest of my family to believe that there are certain things we shouldn't discuss in public. Some of you may believe that it's old-fashioned, but I believe those are good ideals to live by."

9. Crying a river when Bob Livingston resigned, eh?
What was the name of the river? Croc River, in honor of the crocodile tears?

11. You just put a little pepper sauce on the side of a finger.
Then sort of wipe an eye, then the other. The tears flow. It looks so real.

"I'm so sorry I got caught by someone other than a fellow repuke who would have simply blackmailed me for votes".
