Caught not in bed, but a live boy nonetheless
Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., resigned from Congress on Friday, effective immediately, in the wake of questions about e-mails he wrote a former page."I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent," he said in a statement issued by his office.
Foley, 52, had been considered a shoo-in for re-election until the e-mails surfaced in recent days.
Campaign aides had previously acknowledged that the Republican congressman e-mailed the former Capitol page five times, but had said there was nothing inappropriate about the exchange. The page was 16 at the time of the e-mail correspondence.
Foley's election opponent, Democrat Tim Mahoney, has called for an investigation.
The page was a 16 year old boy. In one exchange the Congressman asked him to send a picture. The boy then forwarded the email to a colleague in another R Congressman's office and used the word 'sick' 13 times.
I'm left wondering why this couldn't have been a creepy Texas Congressman like Lamar Smith or Jeb Hensarling?
