Just wondering if this is what Hero means by superior Republican values?

Yes, but without the kitchen or that damn cooking. She will make a fine wife someday.He should have something worse happen to him than just losing his job! (I am assuming age is under 17).

Earlier Friday, a former congressional page questioned e-mails Foley had sent to him, describing it as "sick." Foley, a Florida representative, apparently sent the e-mails in August 2005, when the male page was 16 years old.

More details coming out. The House Republican leadership knew and hushed it up. I think it's time to start adding the adjective immoral to that noun phrase. The immoral House Republican leadership. Yep. That works.
Here's the details. All of this happened 10 or 11 months ago. The 16 year old page worked for Rep. Rodeny Alexander of Louisiana (Republican). The page informed a staffer about the e-mails. The staffer informed Alexander. Alexander called the page's parents. He also notified Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio (Republican). Boehner told Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois (Republican). Hastert told Boehner that, "we're taking care of it." Somehow or other Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois (Republican) gets involved and interviews Rep. Foley as part of a House Page Board investigation. The only Democratic member of that board, Rep. Dale Kildee of Michigan, is not notified because, as Shimkus put it, "I'm the chairman of the page board. The Clerk and I addressed this issue."
Hmmm. I'm not sure I followed all that. I think I'll go back to shortening up things.
The immoral Republican leadership of the House of Representatives.
You get what you vote for.

ABC has reported that one message Foley wrote, "Do I make you a little horny?". I'm sorry, but when I first read that, I could only picture it being said in Power's "Shagadelic" accent, and started laughing. What was even funnier is that this Fuc*ing idiot was the Chairman of the Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus, and had introduced a bill that would protect children from exploitation by adults over the Internet. Classic political hypocrisy. These politicians don't believe a thing they preach. That's why they are always exempting themselves from bills they pass for others.
