It was just announced today that former Congressman Mark Foley (R, FL) is gay. Evidence has recently showed that he was having cyber sex with teenage boys who served as his pages in recent years. I think this is an interesting development for several reasons. Though it seems many people knew about this recently it was only revealed a month before the election, which I believe is unethical; this should have been released when the information was known. Also, the press is calling Foley a pedophile, but the boys were 16-17, which is of the age of consent in DC.
Some things for all of you readers to watch are the midterm elections in November, it will be interesting to see how this affects the Republicans fighting for re-election.
As a side note, to those of you who are unfamiliar with how House elections work, districts have been gerrymandered to the point where just about all seats are practically uncontested since each party has a clear majority in each district.

I agree that this should have been brought out years ago.
16-17 is the age of consent in DC? In Texas, it's statuatory rape under the age of 18. How odd.
it should have been brought out when it happened. BUT IT is absolutely disgusting and this guy should be gone.
