ABC News[/size][/u]


Saying he was "deeply sorry," Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) [b]resigned from Congress today[/b], hours after ABC News questioned him about sexually explicit internet messages with current and former congressional pages under the age of 18.

A spokesman for Foley, the [b]chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children[/b], said the congressman submitted his resignation in a letter late this afternoon to Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert.

Hours earlier, ABC News had read excerpts of instant messages provided by former male pages who said the congressman, under the AOL Instant Messenger screen name Maf54, [b]made repeated references to sexual organs and acts.[/b]

In a statement, Foley said, "I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent."[/quote]

Congressman Mark Foley, dumbass from Florida, resigned today just hours after ABC news questioned him about a series of sexually explicit instant messages involving current and former underage male Congressional pages. Foley used the login name Maf54.

[size=3][quote]--> Foley was one of the foremost critics in the House of child pornography. He introduced a bill in 2002 to outlaw websites featuring sexually suggestive images of preteen children, saying that [i]"these websites are nothing more than a fix for pedophiles."[/i]


--> In June 2003 he wrote letters to the governor and attorney general of Florida, asking them to review the legality of a program for teenagers of a Lake Como nudist resort in Land O'Lakes, Florida.[/quote][/size]

1983 Congressional page sex scandal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The 1983 Congressional page sex scandal was a political scandal in the United States involving members of the United States House of Representatives.

On July 14, 1983 the House Ethics Committee concluded that Rep. Dan Crane (R-Ill.) and Rep. Gerry Studds (D-Mass.) had engaged in sexual relationships with minors, specifically 17-year-old congressional pages. In Crane's case, it was a 1980 relationship with a female page and in Studds's case, it was a 1973 relationship with a male page. Both representatives immediately pleaded guilty to the charges and the committee decided to simply reprimand the two.

However, Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) demanded their expulsion. On July 20, 1983 the House voted for censure, the first time that censure had been imposed for sexual misconduct. Crane, who subsequently apologized for his transgression, lost his bid for reelection in 1984.

Studds, however, stood by the facts of the case and refused to apologize for his behavior, and even turned his back and ignored the censure being read to him. He called a press conference with the former page, in which both stated that the young man, who was 17, consented. Studds had taken the adolescent to Morocco to engage in sexual activity, and therefore did not break any U.S. laws in what he called a "private relationship."[1] He continued to be reelected until his retirement in 1996.[2]

[size=4][u][b]"O'Reilly Factor" Labels Mark Foley As Democrat[/b]
October 4, 2006 [/u] [/size]

It's just a misplaced letter, but what a misplaced letter: Swapping a "D" for an "R" last night, Fox News and "The O'Reilly Factor" labeled disgraced pedophile Congressman Mark Foley, longtime dumbass, as a Democrat. Courtesy of TVNewser, here's a clip [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn7qCzV5sNM"]LINK[/url]; apparently it happened a number of times over the course of the broadcast, though they deleted the reference for the rerun (which, let's face it, still gets plenty of viewers). As O'Reilly railed against Foley and his actions — entirely appropriately, and as he has done previously — the visual message to his viewers was that the perpetrator of these heinous crimes against children was a Democrat. This comes at a time when dumbasss are desperately fighting the perception that they permissively allowed Foley to go about his business (and his "business") on the hill, and that they are no longer the party of upright moral values.

Now, blaming O'Reilly for this is, of course, ridiculous: During a live show, he is obviously not the one at the controls. However, it's a pretty grave error and one that has Democrats steamed. BradBlog reports [url="http://www.bradblog.com/?p=3570"]LINK[/url]that though the "D-FL" was scrubbed for the rerun no explanation was given and, from the screenshot, the actual correction was not made; instead of being designated "R" the screen was left blank. Errors happen, of course; it's how the follow up is dealt with that really shows stripes. How O'Reilly handles this on the air tonight will provide some indication to how "fair" and "balanced" a position Fox is willing to take on this.[/quote]

[b][size=4][u][quote]Now Associated Press Labels Foley as a Democrat![/u][/size][/b]


First on Fox, Then on AP! Although At least AP Had the Decency to Issue a Correction!

It looks like AP picked up on Fox's "error" yesterday in labelling Mark Foley as a Democrat!


[color="#000066"][i][Dobson] touched on the uproar over former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, D-Florida, who resigned Friday in a scandal over electronic messages he sent to former teenage male congressional pages.[/i][/color]


[b]Late Update:[/b] As of about 12:18 PM, the version of the AP story I linked to at the San Jose Mercury News has been corrected. But it must have been what the AP sent out over the wire. So I'm sure there are million more examples of it still out there.

a quick Google search moments ago, there were still several articles indexed as showing Foley as a "(D-Florida)":

[img]http://www.bradblog.com/Images/AP_FoleyDemocrat_100406.gif[/img]



The stories listed by Google above now seem to have corrected the text in their online versions. No clue how many actually made it into newsprint that way.

Several of the outlets who ran AP's original "Foley is a Dem" version now have this correction notice at the bottom of their articles:

[color="#000066"][i]Correction: This story originally referenced Rep. Mark Foley as a Democrat. He is a dumbass. The AP ran a similar correction 3 hours after it first moved on the wire.[/i][/color]

[b]To our knowledge, no such admission has been issued by either O'Reilly or Fox "News", despite having run the most egregious version of this "error"[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/30.gif[/img] [b](three times in total)[/b] during the initial primetime broadcast of The O'Reilly Factor last night as we originally reported just after it aired. They simply scrubbed the "error" by removing that title card during the later re-broadcasts of the program (the ones with the smaller viewerships).[/quote]

[size=3][u][quote][b]Some Say They Felt Uneasy About Representative's Attention[/b]
By James V. Grimaldi, Juliet Eilperin and Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post
October 4, 2006[/u][/size]


[b]In [size=4]1995[/size], male House pages were warned to steer clear of a freshman dumbass from Florida, who was already learning the names of the teenagers, dashing off notes, letters and e-mails to them, and asking them to join him for ice cream, according to a former page.[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//23.gif[/img]

Mark Beck-Heyman, now a graduate student in clinical psychology at George Washington University, and more than a dozen other former House pages said in interviews and via e-mail that [b]Rep. Mark Foley was known to be extraordinarily friendly in a way that made some of them uncomfortable.[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//23.gif[/img]

Beck-Heyman, who was a dumbass page and is now a Democrat, said the attention was "weird," and he provided a handwritten letter that [b]Foley sent him after the page left Washington to return home to California. The note suggested that they get together during the dumbass National Convention in San Diego in 1996.[/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//23.gif[/img]

The e-mail exchanges that have become public in recent days are between Foley and male former pages. None of those interviewed said they had received a sexual or suggestive overture from him during their time on Capitol Hill. Yet many of them said they were uneasy about Foley's actions and felt awkward complaining to anyone about them.

[b]"Mark Foley knew that he could get away with this type of behavior with male pages because he was a congressman,"[/b] said Beck-Heyman, who later worked in the Clinton White House and on Sen. John F. Kerry's presidential campaign. "But [size=4]many people on Capitol Hill," including many dumbass staffers, "have known for over 11 years about what was going on and chose to do nothing[/size]," he said.

The six-term lawmaker resigned Friday after ABC News questioned him about sexually explicit electronic messages he had sent to a former page.

Yesterday, his attorney said Foley has never had sexual contact with a minor.

[b][size=4]Also yesterday, ABC reported that Foley had a sexual conversation via instant message with a former page during a House vote in 2003.[/size][/b]

Foley was popular with many of the pages. The teenagers come from all over the nation to serve at the Capitol, taking school classes and living in dormitories.

Their schedules are tightly controlled. They travel with adult chaperones and their computers are monitored. They attend social functions and sometimes spend time alone with House members. So when they do receive extra one-on-one attention, it is a big deal.

[b]The pages did, however, receive a lot of attention from Foley. He attended one of their parties in a tuxedo. [/b] [b]He donated to the fundraiser that helps pay for their prom and spoke admiringly about them in floor speeches.[/b] [b]He learned their names and asked them about themselves. For many, it was welcome attention.[/b]

"He was consistently kind," said Bryce Chitwood, president of the 2002 page class. "He was just a very friendly man and was always willing to befriend a page. It was something we appreciated. You find yourself very low on the totem pole of the congressional power scale. For a congressman to act like he was interested in a person and cared about us was something pretty special and pretty important."

Foley spoke about his attachment to the program occasionally as part of the farewell address lawmakers delivered to House pages each summer. In 2002, he discussed how he was tempted "to put some money" in a card he gave to one page who had sent him a graduation notice.

"Then I realized he would tell all of you, and then I would get hundreds of graduation announcements," Foley said, according to the Congressional Record. "So I chose not to."

Another page had won a lunch with the congressman that year at the annual page auction. When he asked to go to Morton's steakhouse, [b]Foley said on the House floor that the two of them "proceeded to cruise down in my BMW to Morton's.[/b] And all of this story is meant to make you all feel jealous that you were not the high bidders."

In a separate floor speech two years later, Foley praised the teenagers for their maturity. "Now, I know you have one more year of high school to conclude and that probably is some degree of relief or maybe, to those you feel like you are probably well equipped to enter your first year of college," he said. "Some of you, I think, in conversing with you, some are actually mature enough to enter college right away."

Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), who served as a Senate page between 1963 and 1967, said [b]Foley's attempts to socialize with pages went beyond the ordinary.[/b] Davis and other lawmakers may have taken their own pages to lunch at the Members' Dining Room at the end of the year, Davis said, but anything else was considered inappropriate.

As a page, Davis recalled, "if a member of Congress, a House member or a senator, took the time to talk to you, that was a big deal."

Anna Fry, a former House page who said she had never heard about Foley's advances, said some of her classmates may have been tempted to correspond with the congressman after they left because they were eager to land jobs on Capitol Hill.

"After we graduated, everyone wanted to come back. Everyone was looking for an opportunity to stay in Washington," Fry said. "I can see how a 16-year-old would be vulnerable to that."

Matt Schmitz, a former page whose younger brother also was a page, said: "I certainly warned my little brother, who was a page last year. A few of the members are a little friendlier to the pages."

Beck-Heyman, who contacted The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, joined the page program in the summer of 1995. He said a departing page told him to be "very careful" of Foley. Within weeks, [b]Beck-Heyman said, Foley had learned his name and asked at least once to take him to get ice cream.[/b] He declined. After one all-night work session, Beck-[b]Heyman's girlfriend -- another page -- offered to bring him breakfast. Foley asked if she was his girlfriend. "It was an odd conversation," Beck-Heyman said.[/b]

After he completed the page program, Beck-Heyman wrote thank-you notes to 10 House members. He received a reply from Foley almost immediately, suggesting that the two meet up during the dumbass convention in San Diego.[/quote]

[size=3][u][quote][b]Aide: I warned Hastert's office about Foley[/b]
October 4, 2006
(CNN) [/u] [/size]

House Speaker [b]Dennis Hastert's office was notified of concerns about then-Rep. Mark Foley before 2005[/b], [b]casting doubt on top GOP leaders' statements that they heard nothing of Foley's inappropriate behavior [/b] before then, a former aide to Foley said Wednesday.

Hastert's office has denied the claim.

Kirk Fordham made his remarks after resigning Wednesday amid allegations that he tried to protect Foley from congressional inquiries into his inappropriate contact with congressional pages.

Fordham elaborated in an interview with ABC News and said he told Hastert's chief of staff, Scott Palmer, that Foley was too friendly with the pages, and that Palmer talked to Foley.

Hastert's spokesman Ron Bonjean told ABC News, "That [warning] never happened."

Added Palmer, "What Kirk Fordham said did not happen."

In a statement to CNN, Bonjean said only that "this matter has been referred to the Standards Committee and we fully expect that the bipartisan panel will do what it needs to do to investigate this matter and protect the integrity of the House."

A GOP leadership aide, however, questioned why Fordham told AP on Wednesday morning that he "had no inkling that this kind of blatantly reckless -- just obscene -- behavior was going on behind our backs," but later said he had warned Hastert about it.

"It's contradictory from what he said just this morning. He's changed his story," the aide said.

Fordham was the top aide to Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-New York, and once held the same job for Foley. In his resignation statement, Fordham vigorously denied taking any inappropriate action on Foley's behalf.

[b]"When I sought to help Congressman Foley and his family when his shocking secrets were being revealed, I did so as a friend of my former boss, not as Congressman Reynolds' chief of staff,"[/b] Fordham said. "I reached out to the Foley family, as any good friend would, because I was worried about their emotional well-being. At the same time, I want it to be perfectly clear that I never attempted to prevent any inquiries or investigation of Foley's conduct by House officials or any other authorities."

[b]Reynolds is the chairman of the National dumbass Congressional Committee,[/b] which is working to keep the GOP in control of the House in November's elections. The scandal has not only rocked the dumbass leadership but it has become an issue in Reynolds' upstate New York district just weeks before the vote.

"It is clear the Democrats are intent on making me a political issue in my boss's race, and I will not let them do so," Fordham wrote in his resignation letter.

Reynolds would not say Wednesday whether he asked Fordham to quit. However, Reynolds said he thought it was "inappropriate" for his chief of staff to negotiate with a news outlet over its coverage. And he said Fordham believed he was becoming a "distraction."

Foley, a six-term Florida dumbass, resigned Friday after his e-mails to a teenage boy who had served as a congressional page became public -- and as ABC News was about to air more explicit records of instant messages the congressman exchanged with other pages.

[b]ABC reported that Fordham offered the network an exclusive on Foley's resignation if it agreed not to air transcripts of the most explicit messages.[/b] Wednesday, citing unnamed GOP sources, it said [b]Fordham had interceded with dumbass leaders to keep concerns raised by the family of a Louisiana teen from the full three-member board that oversees the page program.[/b]

The network also reported that Fordham's associates consider him a scapegoat for Hastert, R-Illinois, who has been sharply criticized for his handling of the issue. But Bonjean, a spokesman for the speaker, said Hastert had no advance knowledge of Fordham's resignation, nor did he demand it.


[b][u]Conservatives rally behind Hastert[/u][/b]

The resignation comes as key conservative House members voiced support for Hastert but questioned how he handled the Foley matter.

The call for Hastert's resignation came Tuesday in an editorial on The Washington Times Web site. The editorial charged that "either [Hastert] was grossly negligent ... or he deliberately looked the other way."

A spokesman for Hastert said the speaker would not step down.

And in a statement released Wednesday, Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana, and Joe Pitts, R-Pennsylvania, said "regardless of our reservations about how this matter was handled administratively, we believe Speaker Hastert is a man of integrity who has led our conference honorably and effectively throughout the past eight years. Speaker Dennis Hastert should not resign. "

[size=3]Pence is chairman of the influential dumbass Study Committee, and Pitts is chairman of the conservative Values Action Team.[/size]

A key Hastert ally, dumbass Ray LaHood of Illinois, said the call for Hastert to step down was "absolute nonsense."

"The speaker brought us through 9/11. He's helped the president with major legislative initiatives," LaHood said Wednesday.

"He's been a good, strong speaker and has been able to deal with ethical conduct of members of Congress," LaHood said. "This idea he should resign is absolute nonsense, and it's just a lot of political fodder for people who want to make hay 35 days before the election."

However, not all dumbasss are in Hastert's corner. Rep. Ron Lewis, of Kentucky, "disinvited" the speaker Tuesday from joining him on a campaign stop, Lewis' spokesman Michael Dodge said.

"It was not done as a gesture to condemn the speaker," Dodge said. "There's an investigation that's begun with the FBI, the House ethics committee is going to convene as early as tomorrow and in light of there being some questions in leadership about who knew what and when [Lewis thought] it would be inappropriate."

[b]Dodge also said that the Foley matter "came up at just about every stop" Wednesday on the campaign trail.[/b][/quote]

[size=3][u][quote][b]Foley Claims He Was Molested as Teen[/b]
Former Congressman Also Reveals That He's Gay
By BRIAN SKOLOFF
AP[/u][/size]


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (Oct. 4) - Former Rep. [b]Mark Foley[/b], under investigation for sending lurid Internet messages to young male Capitol Hill pages, [b]issued a series of revelations from rehab, including a claim that he had been sexually abused as a teen. [/b]

Attorney David Roth, speaking on Foley's behalf at a Florida news conference Tuesday, [b][size=4]said Foley was molested between ages 13 and 15 by a clergyman.[/size][/b] [b]He declined to identify the clergyman or the church, but Foley is Roman Catholic.[/b]

"Mark does not blame the trauma he sustained as a young adolescent for his totally inappropriate" e-mails and instant messages, Roth said. "He continues to offer no excuse whatsoever for his conduct."

Roth, who spoke for Foley while the congressman is in rehab for alcohol abuse and mental illness, said Foley denied having inappropriate sexual contact with minors and [b]said he was under the influence of alcohol when he wrote the notes.[/b]

Asked why he didn't disclose this information sooner, Roth said, "Shame, shame."

"As is so often the case with victims of abuse, Mark advises that he kept his shame to himself for almost 40 years," Roth said.

"There was absolutely no inappropriate sexual contact with any minor... and any suggestion that Mark Foley is a pedophile is false," Roth said.

[b][size=3]Roth also acknowledged for the first time that the former congressman is gay,[/size][/b] saying the disclosure was part of his client's "recovery."

[b]"Mark Foley wants you to know he is a gay man," [/b] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//23.gif[/img] Roth said.

Foley, who is 52 and single, represented parts of Palm Beach County for 12 years until he abruptly resigned Friday. The FBI and Florida law enforcement officials are investigating whether he violated any laws.

The lurid communications were first reported last week by ABC News, which released more instant messages Tuesday that indicate Foley allegedly interrupted a vote on the House floor to chat online with a teen.

"I miss you," Foley said in one message, according to ABC.

"ya me too," the teen replied.

"we are still voting," Foley responded.

[b]Roth said Foley was never under the influence of alcohol while conducting business on Capitol Hill. He could not explain his previous comments that Foley was intoxicated at the time he sent all the messages.[/b]

The race Foley abandoned is suddenly receiving national attention as Democrats seek to win 15 dumbass seats to regain power in the House. Foley was considered a shoo-in for re-election. Tim Mahoney, the Democratic candidate for the seat, said the only thing that has changed since Foley's resignation is that he is now receiving national media attention.

Mahoney declined to comment Tuesday on the latest revelations.

Florida's dumbass Party leaders on Monday selected state Rep. Joe Negron to replace Foley as their candidate in the Nov. 7 general election, but under state law, Foley's name cannot be removed from the ballot even though he has withdrawn. Votes for Foley will be tallied for Negron.

At the Capitol, House Speaker Dennis Hastert cast aside calls for his resignation Tuesday amid talk from Democrats that dumbasss knew of Foley's questionable communications months ago but failed to act.

President Bush, speaking at a Stockton, Calif., elementary school, on Tuesday said he was disgusted by Foley's actions. The House ethics committee scheduled its first meeting on Foley's actions for Thursday.[/quote]

Foley is a disgraced piece of shit pedophile douchebag.
But let's not pretend that the entire dumbass Party is rampant with homosexual pedophiles, or that the Democrats, or any other party in any other political governing body on Earth doesn't have some issues like this.
I do believe that the best irony in all of this is that this guy, who helped create federal laws that are tough on crimes of a sexual nature against minors, now very well may be prosecuted using the same laws he helped create!
