Hello, hello. I apologize for such an long hiatus. I just needed to clear my head for little while. But now I am back. All right, so I am reading about the scandal concerning Rep. Mark Foley. Let me just say that I have never been so sickened of somthing like this in my life. I mean, here you have an 52-year-ol in an esteemed position on the web going after teenaged boys. And it gets better. He was the co-chair of the Missing and Exploited Children caucus, which made Adam's law (named after Adam Walsh) possible this summer. This is nuts. But it does not stop there. The Washington Post and the NY Times each have stories concerning House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert apparently knew something about Foley's alleged solicitation. Boehner knew first, and told Hastert. However, in today's WaPo, Boehner recanted, saying that he was unsure if Hastert knew anything. But now it comes out that Hastert knew about Foley and what he was up to, but said nothing for almost a year! This is a tragic, and outrageous, example of a Congress that is so sanctimonious and corrupt that nothing is beneath them.
