The Mark Foley Chat Transcripts
You know you want to read what the big deal is (very xxx text).
What bothers me, more than the fact that a Congressman was asking a teenage boy "where do you unload it" during masturbation and raunchier, is the fact those chats are from 2003.
This guy was voting in the House of Representatives for a good three years after he'd started engaging in this really disturbing behavior, including serving as co-chair of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.
In order to jumpstart this thread...
They should leave him alone until/unless he *really* creates a victim - instead of letting the media create a victim because of bantering with legal age boys who are willing participants. These boys weren't pressured into anything, and if anything they were using their new sugar daddy.
(I reserve the right at any time to change sides on this conversation.)
Sure, it's early to say much. And it's not like raunchy chatting with teenagers is the same as child molestation. But still, this behavior is way out of line for a Congressman.
