Inappropriate e-mails with 16-year-old boy force Congressman to resign

I know that I said no more posts until Saturday, but this one can't wait.  Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) has resigned from Congress after ABC released inappropriate e-mails that the Congressman wrote to a 16-year-old male:

Saying he was "deeply sorry," Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) resignedfrom Congress today, hours after ABC News questioned him about sexuallyexplicit internet messages with current and former congressional pagesunder the age of 18.

A spokesman for Foley, the chairman of the House Caucus on Missingand Exploited Children, said the congressman submitted his resignationin a letter late this afternoon to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

Yes, you read that right.  Foley was the Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.  What a hypocrite.

Oh, and I'd like to give a big shout-out to Seth, who yesterday called me "disingenuous and deliberately distorting" for even writing about this story.  It looks like there was a lot more to this story, huh?  I don't just cut and paste.  I do my research, and look for credibility in each story.  An apology would be nice.
