Congressman resigns after e-mails questioned

leave it to you to classify terrorists as 'children' and listening to Brittney Spears as 'torture'...Yeah its better when politicians want legal torture for "terrorist" children in gitmo and bomb children in Iraq for freedom/oil instead
I think its a very good point. The reality is that its very much sickening when both sides try to preach from some moral high ground.
What the f' does that have to do with what he said?sysdasti said:
Oh hell no... he needs some jail time, without presidential pardoning.
Second speaker in a year to have scandal cost him his job. Well Hasert hasn't lost his job yet but you gotta figure that he won't survive a challenge if he doesn't step down OR loses in the election in November.
That's some intergity there.

Depends if you want the Republicans to stay in control or not. This is just the sort of thing that will make lots of conservatives to simply stay at home.
according to the oklahoman, the page with whom foley was IM-ing has been named , and is currently 21 years old.

No one would show up to vote on real issues let alone understand what they were voting for, they would have to hand out Larry The Cable guy DVD's to get people to show up.
and when did these "transmissions" (for lack of better word) take place?syadasti said:
from the first linked article in this here thread:
and from another linked article in this thread:
so you see, there is indeed some confusion. is there another/different page?
It's much easier to vote on emotion than it is to vote on the actual person's position on issues of real social value. That's why all this BS is strewn about around election time.
"Do you really want Mr. X, who got arrested for a DUI 10 years ago, to be your Representative?? Do you!!??!?"
"Do you really want Mrs. Y, who got busted for possession 15 years ago, to be your Representative?? Huh??!?"
How do they stand on issue B? the same....well there's gotta be something we can dredge up to make X look better than Y....so there ya have it....f*ckin' dumb.

:biggrin:
when you start quoting hastert, you're desperate.
:biggrin:
the nytimes has a timeline that isn't that helpful.
going to npr...
Yes, many in fact. I already linked to a WaPo on this. See here.
not what i meant.
what i meant was "with how many pages did foley have sexually explicit email/IMs".
it seems there are 2: a lad from the bijou (this one 16 and a former page at the time) & one from oklahoma (18 and a former page at the time).
either way, dude's gotta go.
oh, npr timeline
I don't know the exact number, but it is certainly plural.
Here's more from the WaPo on what Hastert knew.

Can't we somehow blame Bush and/or Cheney for all this..???
ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSER
FAMOUS IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD
Wed Oct 04 2006 20:32:06 ET
A posting on ABCNEWS.COM of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser.
The website PASSIONATE AMERICA detailed the startling exposure late Wednesday.
ABCNEWS said in a statement: "We go to great lengths to prevent the names of alleged sex crime victims from being revealed. On Friday there was a very brief technical glitch on our site which was overridden immediately."
But the PASSIONATE AMERICA webmaster tells the OKLAHOMAN that "he stumbled onto the former page's AOL screen name when looking at transcripts of the instant messages on ABC's Web site Saturday. He said he typed a slightly-different Web address into his browser and found a version of the transcript with the screen name. He claims the AOL name of the young man was still on ABCNEWS.COM before he posted his story on Wednesday.
The AOL name of the young man was kept unredacted and housed on ABCNEWS.COM servers for 5 days! The information could be publicly accessed.
SEX CHAT WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD
On Tuesday ABC news released a high-impact instant message exchange between Foley and, as ABC explained, a young man "under the age of 18."
ABC headlined the story: "New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote"
But upon reviewing the records, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, the young man was in fact over the age of 18 at the time of the exchange.
A network source explains, messages with the young man and disgraced former Congressman Foley took place before and after the 18th birthday.
Ugh...A little harbl action for PAWN'd.

Upon further review: 16-17 isnt exactly pedophilia, is it?
Did I miss the red challenge flag??? Damn....
No, there's another name for it, but I can't remember what it is right now.
Oh goodie... there is now going to be a probe into the whole affair. I sure hope they get to the bottom of the thing and finger the perpetrators.
CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats. This source, an ally of Edmund, also adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund.
The news come on the heels that former FBI Chief Louis Freeh has been named to investigate the mess.
Developing...
Foley is a priest abused alcoholic gay, but it was all a page joke otherwise, right :biggrin:
Good job N8, I'm proud of you
Looks like this is spot on:
Hastert: 'The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros'...
